I broke down and bought one while they were on sale and it arrived today. I didn't have a lot of time so I'll post better details later. For now I'm pretty impressed. I didn't really do any research. I just pulled the trigger. I didn't even know it had saddlebags until last week when the thread popped up.



Right off the bat I found it more comfortable than my BMBH UL. It could be that extra section in the head-end spreader bar. I'll try it again without it. The bridge hammock is still so much more tippy than a gathered end. I'll have to get used to it.

I'm 6'1" and found I was pretty much end-to-end. I didn't feel cramped, though. I was a little surprised how it narrows in the middle but again, something I think I'll just have to get used to.

I'm looking forward to getting some time in it and plan on taking it to the 3rd Annual Florida Hang next weekend.
