    From what I have been told they don't exist. Maybe a diy version is out there though

    When Switchbacks first came out they were 11' and Light Hikers were 10'
    I have an 11' 1.9 single layer.

    Really? If they were 11ft now I'd have one, I tried one last year and I couldn't get the fit right. Darby and myself spent some together trying to make it work....

    I may have to take my original statement back.
    I just measured mine and it is 10ft. So now I am confused.
    I could have swore the big selling point of the SB when they first came out was that it was 11' and the Light Hiker was 10.

    Darby once told me(email) that they experimented with the 11' and then a
    10'6" version. that they found that the best length was 10'.
    I love mine, call it the tank, as I have 1/8 amsteel continuous loop attaching cinch buckles, 15', 1" straps rated to 3500lbs. it is a 1.9 dbl with the bug net mod. of course now it is over 3lbs so I will pull out the suspension and just string 7/64 whoopie slings through the end channels twice. should take at least a full pound off.
    the downside is, I like my dream hammock more. the extra foot makes it that much better. my debate was do I keep it or sell it.

    I am interested in a switchback to go with my polarpod. I prefer the 1.1 dl, except I like the color of the 1.9 better.
