Warbonnet Ridge Runner Multicamo

I was up in the air on if I'd like a bridge hammock or not, having never tried one. I read through a bunch of posts and decided to try it.

I ordered one back in the second week of December and just got it a couple days ago (maybe four weeks waiting - no shipping notice, it just showed up).

Ok, so I've seen quite a few Ridge Runners on here, but I have yet to see a photo of one in MULTICAM. I don't think it's as popular an option (which in hindsight makes sense, once you put your UQ on it!).

After getting it up, It seems to be one of the most comfortable hammocks that I've tried. I can lay on my side or even mostly on my stomach without issues too. I got a double layer and the inside layer is just green, not multicam. I stuck my Wallyworld blue foam between and it curved to fit better than in a gathered end hammock. I was able to stick my HG Incubator on it and tried it with my HG Burrow.

I'll have to give it a big thumbs up. I like the bars and that the net is elevated. The views are out both sides (as opposed to the WB BlackBird). I found that the fabric is sewn in just right to make a head support at the top. It doesn't have the issues that the BlackBird has with calf pressure.

I haven't tried a tarp with it. I can see how their might be an issue with the ends protruding and impacting a tarp if the pull outs are not placed correctly. I'm thinking about making some foam blocks for the ends.

The main thing that I disliked was the pockets got deeper at the head. As others have said in the WBRR threads, I think they would have worked better having the deep ends of the pockets down by your hands. I couldn't reach up to my right shoulder with my right hand and get into the bottom of the pocket. If the shallow end had been here and the deep end had been at my hand, I think it would have been better. Or, maybe if Brandon just sewed one reversed?

Anyways, I'll need to do some more testing! I would definitely buy this one again. I much prefer it over my WBBBs (1.1d and 1.7d).

Looks great. Congrats on the new piece of gear! I absolutely love my RR, too.

As has been pointed out in the other posts, many like the deeper part of the pockets by the shoulders and shallow part more toward the middle. I'm in that camp. It allows me to place my more accessed items (glasses, headlamp, etc.) right where my hand naturally falls. Then, I can leave the deeper pockets for items I access less-frequently (stuff sacks, extra socks, etc.).

Wow...that camo sure looks very nice! I like it, and your going to like it even more using it. Your wait was well worth it it looks to me. Congrats on the new RR. :)

Another congrats on a great piece of new gear!

Nice :cool:

I've just picked up a RR, but only had the chance so far to grab 2 hours kip in it. Great hammock though.

I like your pattern. Its a shame WB dont do superfly's in it as I found the current cammo version repetitive so went with the plain green to accompany the hammock.

US Woodland is my favorite all round pattern for the UK, which your RR looks pretty close to.

Enjoy.

That's a beaut! Congrats Boomer, the RidgeRunner is fantastic! In camo...just plain goodness!

Cheers :D

Nice one. Got my shipping notice last week. Mine should be here (down under)
this week. Meant to have some hot days though, about 40c. Might be just about right for testing if there is some breeze at night.
Happy with the fitment of your uqs ?

Man that thing is sweet! I'm always bummed when they have a sale, I never have the money. Gotta save up for a RR.

Yes on the fitting. I'm interested in the Lynx, but I noticed that the HG Incubator is the same width and length as the RR.

The biggest surprise was that I had expected it to be tippy. When I set it up, I had a lot of sag and got a bit of a banana shape. I hitched it up to the recommended 20* and found that it was much flatter. I also found that it wasn't nearly as tippy as I'd come to expect.

It does have a longer suspension length, so I won't be able to set it up between trees that are closer together, like my ENO can do.

As far as the camo, I like the pattern. I agree with you about the Superfly camo. A little too dark and repetitive for my taste. I don't know if the multicam is available in a sylnylon. I've looked at several patterns and my favorite is ASAT Camo.

i gotta have one of these. with the sock, I reckon i can hang all year round here.

Thats a sweet rig !

You bringing that to the winter hang next weekend????? I have had my eye on one for a long time, and would love to check it out. I like that camo pattern..very UK/German looking (as mentioned before) all though German has more brown in it.

Nice rig...just one more thing I gotta save up for...man at this rate I'm never gonna finish my hot rod. I guess I'll have to stop buying hammock stuff for a while :scared:

Nice review BTW it answered a lot of my questions.

I was debating what to bring. If I only had more nights. Now it looks like I might miss out on one too. Might not leave Seattle until 3ish, which would put me finding a place in the dark. Wanna save me a few trees? LOL

I really like the camo pattern. Kind of kills it when the sock is not camo though...

Hey mugs...if Boomer does not make it, there will still be a Ridge Runner for there since i will be bringing mine. It's just not camo.

Absolutely loving this hammock!!! :boggle::boggle::boggle::boggle::boggle::boggle:
