Wow! Sounds like a slick setup PS! Can't wait to see what these look like. Thats a great final weight with a bug net and suspension!
Cheers :D
Sounds great papasmurf. I think this is the first time I have seen dynaglide come "stock" on a hammock. Good luck with your new design! :D
I like the way you've set that up. Look forward to seeing it. :)
Sounds like a sweet setup. Gonna be real interested to check this one out. Love that you keep feeding our addictions. :) Keeps things fun and interesting.

Ya, wondering about the weight rating myself with the single layer.
The UL version should be good for someone up to 225lbs.
The standard version will be available in 1.1oz & 1.9oz in both single and double layer versions. Maybe a 2.6oz Poly Crinkle taffeta also. So we've got the big fellas covered too.
Is there a smurf bridge in the future?

No bridge at this time.
Here are my goals with the 2 different versions of this hammock:
Darien UL - a truly lightweight integrated net hammock that doesn't compromise on features.
Darien - A simple, quick setup, integrated net hammock that is more suitable for cost conscience buyers, new hangers, Scouts, etc. I've got the Single Layer Darien hammock down to around $108 now and am shooting for a final price of $99. To do this I will limit the fabric weights and color options to keep the price lower.
By the way - This is not "a hammock design that is going to, Blow Your Mind!"
Just a simple hammock folks that offers some things I can't get with the RoamingGnome & DangerBird.
The hammock body is based off the tutorial I posted awhile back here. http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=55744

will any of these sell at MAHHA?
PapaSmurf

I'm not specifically bringing anything to sell, but if I sell any of the demo models, I won't have to carry them down to Harpers Ferry on Sunday.
Whatever I bring home will go up for sale on the Dream Hammock site as demos.

Now that's just wrong teasing us with these techno ultra lite specs and no pics to go along with it.
Sounds like a nice ultra light easy set up....."where do I click add to cart"

Photos will be taken this weekend at MAHHA and posted shortly afterward.

Soon as I get the details and photos ready I'll add it to the Dream Hammock site and begin taking orders.
Now the Darien UL is quite the hammock! All cutting edge materials and yet still full featured! Nice job Papa Smurf!

That's a great price, and will be a SPECTACULAR hammock for Scouts!
Looking forward to testing this.....all 6'7" 220 lbs :-)
I can def see me needing one of these....maybe 2
Sounds pretty sweet Randy, can't wait to check it out!

I checked it out at Fall MAHHA 2012 - pretty sweet. At 12 or 13 ounces (I forget) it's a lotta hammock for such little weight.

Got to see this one yesterday at MAHHA as well. If your looking for a light-weight rig this may be it - workmanship was outstanding.

Not in this particular model.
The Darien UL will only be available in the 120" size and only in that fabric.
I'm planning a slightly different model that will have both a 120" and 132" size, but it ain't ready yet.

Thanks for making a light hammock, hope I get to see one on the trails. Speaking of which I have seen a huge increase in the smokey mountain park in hammock backpackers. Always looking to push the weight limit down. Makes for easier miles:)

I am so sad that some how I missed seeing this hammock at MAHA so many people so much gear it was overload. I hope to see a video of this hammock and look forward to when the weight limit is at 250 so I can purchase one :)
