    Cannibal's suggestion is a good one. I had a 1.7 DL but sold it last fall because I started to lose weight. My goal was to buy a 1.1 DL when my weight got down. 60lbs lighter, I now sleep comfy in my 1.1.

    It wouldn't hurt to get a 1.7 DL and sell it if you drop some weight.
    Don't let life get in the way of living.

    Hello and welcome from a SC hanger in Greenville!

    I also think you will be very happy in a double layer 1.7 WBBB. It is a great hammock and rock solid at your size. I am 6'2" and 260# and I had a DL WBBB 1.7, it was fantastic for me.

    Another thought given your location: attend the goat Island group hang at Lake Greenwood on 5/20/11. There will be hammocks / tarps / quilts and pads of all type there and you can try several out before buying. Between everyone going (I am on the maybe list, trying to break free) there are several of us that have extra hammocks you could borrow. Look in the trip planning thread for details.
