Just ordered one. Can't wait to drop my 5 pound ENO setup. Only problem is now i'm not gonna be able to use my setup being heavy as an excuse to not hike.

Please, please make a 132" version!

Looks great PapaSmurf! Man, that's about half of what my current gathered end weighs!
Cheers!
Well done papasmurf, way to move the market towards dynaglide.
You could make a shorter and skinnier version, and use tulle for the netting and get the weight closer to 9oz if you wanted too...

My forum name is Fish<><; I'm in the navy; and I hate sleeping on the ground. If I didn't need ground to walk on or measure resistance to, I think I could happily give it up.
Yea, another vote for a 132" version that could easily support 225 lbs.
Yes, I could certainly make the Darien UL lighter at the expense of comfort and usability..... but I won't.
Making it smaller like say the Nano 7 would make it feel like.... well, a Nano 7.
Making the netting out of tulle would mean risking ripping the net off the zipper.
Very true on all counts. I was attempting comedy (not something I am known for) and my sentences didn't come across the way I planned... Note to self smileys don't always work.

Oh I'm sorry Fish. I didn't catch the true tone of your post.
Yea, I'm really trying to offer weight savings without sacrificing comfort & features.
That's the plan anyway and I hope folks end up liking it.
Truth is, yea there's probably a few areas to shave a little more. That's why the Darien UL might have some minor spec changes after we get a few more out on the trail and see what the results are.
i weigh right at 220 and am adding this hammock to my list..while im in the process of saving up i plan on losing a few extra pounds.
hang your own hang
