Why choose Warbonnet over others?
I'm new to hammocks and as usual jumped off the deep end and bought a Clark NX-250. And now that I have started reading this forum etc, I see a lot of experienced hammock people choose the Warbonnet brand, especially the Blackbird. Just wondering what they are like and why you choose this brand over other brands besides price. I have never seen or used any brand besides Clark and I really like the Clark but at the same time, i'm always looking for what fits my needs best. Thanks for any advice/comments.
I have both a NX-250 and a WBBB 1.7 double.
IMO, they are different animals.
I bought the CJH last year primarily for weather protection. I liked the integrated weather cover and the under=pockets. Both work well, and it is a roomy, airy hammock.
I bought the WBBB this year with the intention of passing my HH Explorer on to a God Son. I was impressed with the fans here on HF, and I liked the idea of the double bottom as a means of locating a layer of insulation (fleece, CCF) for my back & kidneys. Conventional wisdom is that keeping both warm, even in the summer, is the key to minimizing nocturnal watering expeditions. And I had little success in keeping insulation in place inside my HH.
So, basically, I have a summer hammock and a winter hammock. Love them both.
