Any news on when the BMBH will be available again? I'm tempted to pick up the new, improved model to give the bridge another try.

Try sending Pan a PM, although he may see this post and respond. A PM he'll see for sure!
On 2/23/11, Pan told me they should be back in stock in 3-5 weeks.
What are the changes for the new version? I tried one out at the CO winter hang and was definitely intrigued!
I ordered one late February when I got my Tax Refund. One of the Jacks said it should be available during the last half of March. I don't plan to use it before mid April but I look forward to playing with it.
The new model has a zipper on 3 sides instead of the full omni tape to secure the bugnet and gear pockets on each end.Quote:

No Cupholders?
True.... But... the 2011s will also have a small insert in the front two corners to smooth the zipper function...Just keeps getting better at Jacks 'R' Better...;)Quote:

Therefore I no longer unzipped fully, but I would like to do so. Hopefully you are aware of this problem and that is why the change in the 2011 model. Thanks for all you do.

The only reason the ends even zip is to allow the full roll back and storage of the bug net when it is not needed... Thus providing a neat open top, unencumbered hammock for the bug free environments.

The gf is wanting to try one out so I ordered one Friday for her. She can't wait to try it out plus I got a few brownie points :laugh:
Gotcha. So if i start out inside hammock with netting fully pulled back, I should get out of hammock to zip past the corners if i chose to close the netting then get in and close the rest of the way.Quote:

Not if your kicked back looking at the stars and moon, then zip up netting to go to sleep. No biggie. My definite favorite hammock by far!:shades:Quote:

I've had Hennessy, Warbonnet, and now the BMBH. The BMBH is without a doubt the most comfortable. Also I was able to sleep on my side thanks to neoair.
Just to give you an idea of my body size - 6'1" 230lbs and wide shoulders. I had no squeeze at all.
