Looking for opinions on the Warbonnet Traveler hammock. Pros and cons.

Thanks,

Love mine. It is my go-to hammock. I have four others (don'y know why).

People seem to love them, i have the black bird which i would not give up ever. Brandon makes really nice gear.

I dig mine.

Pros - as comfy as the black bird, no head or foot area so you can spread out where you want, light weight.

Cons - no shelf so you can't store much of anything in the hammock besides your insulation, no bug net so you will need that during bug season.

I like mine, but it's not love. It's well made, but for some reason I never have found the OMG! sweet spot. Still, it's reasonably comfortable, and I plan to keep it for occasional use. If the capability to utilize a pad is not needed, I prefer an ENO Double Nest.

I ended up selling mine after a 4 nighter in it.. couldn't find that sweet spot either.. went back to my ENO dbl which for me, is like a giant sweet spot

It's a terrificly made hammock though. All the way around really really nice piepce of gear...

I also wonder if I'd have been more comfortable in a 1.1 dbl vs. the 1.7.. I enjoy the feel of 1.1 better and I like a little stretch it seems..

I enjoy mine. Comfortable, relatively light and as simple as they come.

I'm afraid that I agree with Old Gringo. Love my BB, but the Traveler just isn't as comfortable.

The view is far better from the WB Traveler, than from the WBBB.
If by chance there is mosquitos I set up the WB netting or just use a net over my head.
I have both the traveler and the bird.
I only use the BB under special circumstances.
