Received my new winter hammock yesterday.
What a beauty, the workmanship and details are a sight to behold.
Specs: 11' x 60" 1.8 tafata single layer, 1.0 ripstop cover instead of net with double zipper pulls on one side. Lefty, Whoopies with 72" treestraps.
Colors: hammock night camo with black cover.
It was after dark when I set up on the deck last night so no picts yet but will take some today and post.
Thanks PapaSmurf for exceeding my expectation.
You add new meaning to Made in American

That night grid is really neat looking when you see more than just a swatch. And the skeeters aren't going to get through that "netting." :)
This is a new thing, maybe it should be called the Danger Gnome...
We wrote "WinterGnome" in big red letter accross the top of OutandBack's order.Quote:

That is one great looking piece of kit. Again PapaSmurf delivers a superb product.
Wow, really interesting! I like the design features! Looks well thought out.
What are the weight specs?

Agreed - one of the nicer colors I've seen. Great addition - this isn't making me want a Dream Hammock any less, though, which is a problem for my wallet.
Sorry haven't got to weight it yet. Going to spend another nite in it before packing it up. I'll post the weight soon.Quote:

breyman I just live down the road from you. If you'd like to check it out and see how she lays I am home most of the time (retired) I can PM you my cell number.
O&B; that is a nice setup,,,i like it. I just came back from hanging at the river and was thinking to myself how much i like hanging without the tarp deployed and was wondering about over covers.

Me to, it only rains in Colorado during the Co Summer Group Hangs, haha.Quote:

This cover is 1.0 ripstop nylon it's not water proof but does a great job of blocking wind giving you a little micro climate.
If you anticipate frost conditions you do need a small vent or your breath will condense on everything inside.
I got some frost inside the first night when I had the cover completely closed. Evening temp was 30F with 50% humidity.
Last night I used the vent, shown in the picture above, and got no condensation. Last nights low was 24F
Finely got around to weighing the WinterGnome with stuffsack treestraps and toggles. 1.55#
Looks Great
:shades:
I was checking out this same color combo on a DB...Randy sent me here to look at your pics. Man, that looks pretty sweet! I am gonna have a hard time talking myself out of it. Now, off to the gear room to see what I can sell.....
LOL - I just placed an order for a DB last week in these exact same colors - because of this post! Super excited for it.Quote:

A double zipper pull allows one to full close the top cover and have a set zipper pulls down close to you for easier opening IMO.
