    light hammocks for heavier folk

    well this gear junkie is at it again. thinking of another hammock.
    my info, 6', 225lbs
    thinking of lightening up my hammock for backpacking and so far the DREAMHAMMOCK DARIEN 2.3 oz single layer is my choice.(love my thunderbird dbl 1.9)
    looking for more info on what people are using.
    not trusting single layers in 1.0 or 1.1
    do want bug net zipped on
    I like 11' hammocks than 10'.
    I am also DEBATING of selling my 1.9 dbl switchback with zipper mod. I like it, even prefer it when using pads.

    I suspect you want to keep the double for summer. Slightly warmer, much more mosquito proof! ;-)
    YMMV

    HYOH

    Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)
