    Most (i know it's subjective) comfortable hammock

    It's unfortunate I can't try them all out, but I'm torn between hammocks. I'll be upgrading whatever I get to whoopie slings, toggles and 1'' straps. I have an ENO SN that I find quite comfortable, but that one is now my fiance's. I'm 6'4'' @~215-220lbs.
    I'm thinking the HH Explorer Ultralight, WBBB, or maybe even something else. My two main concerns are comfort followed by weight. Thoughts?

    I'm not that tall, but I've got a large build (5'10, 48 chest, 38 waist, weight 220). Your 6'4 inch frame might be a game changer, but I've been REALLY impressed with the GT Ultralight for both weight and comfort. It's dead simple, super cheap, soft, silky feel, and plenty big for me. It lacks the enter from the bottom feature of a Hennessy and it's not a high dollar system. It's also very, very light at 11.5 oz. including the S hooks. You can snag one on Amazon for $16-$30 depending on color.

    If you hate it, hang on to it as a loaner.

    Light weight. Low prices. Great gear.

    I should also mention that I generally do backwoods trips for 3-5 days. Also, I'm not overly concerned with the price.

    I like the HHEUL and the WBBB, but the most comfort is the HH Safari. However, they are a little bit heavier for backpacking. Great for car camping.

    Most comfortable hammock? The one you're sleeping in, of course!

    Best advice I think anyone could give would be to go to a hang, and see about trying out several makes...see what feels best for you there, then order what you like.

    Your priorities (#1 comfort, #2 weight, ... #N price) will serve you well. Make the effort to get to a hang (maybe Spring MAHHA) where you can try them all. Maybe pick up another ENO to use there if you bring your fiancee. Or else use a tent. Hammockers will be falling over themselves to let you try their rigs and get you off the ground.

    @WV - that sounds like a good idea (group hang), but that means i don't get to buy/obsess over anything for a while :P
    btw, i am very impressed with my Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 tent
