Do they look different? how much heavier?
How much ya want if you have the older set?
The old style were Bison Designs buckles with a sliding bar the new ones are actually 2 triangle loops. I think the new type are lighter and hold better. I think Paul at Arrowhead sale the new type but is currently out of stock.
I will be buying a pair from ya when you put em for sale
In the past 2 years there have been 4 different buckle systems used on WB's Each a little different than the next. If your hammock is newer than the last 6 months you have the newest and same that we will have available for order soon.
Well holding better appeals to me so I guess I want a set of the newer ones.
If anyone has done the whoopie conversion and has a set ide like them.
if we are talking about doing this to a hennessy, can we use the stock rope to tie to the buckles or do we have to modify it and use whoopies on the end to go to the buckles?
No idea but the ropes on the Explorer UL are pretty small so I plan on trying that first. if not Ill convert it to a better cording.Quote:

same principle for the tri-buckles on an amsteel loop.
