"the Eureka! Chrysalis has a patented design"
I wonder what sort of remarkable claims Eureka! are making in their patent(s) and whether they will get into a contest with JRB or did JRB license the design to Eureka?

i just searched the most recently published applications and the eureka design is not there.
They said it was patented.... did they say they owned the patent?
maybe they patented making it heavy.
maybe they are citing a presious patent... a little bizarre but hey... it might be worth selliing points
yeah, i wonder if anyone could cite a bridge hammock as a patented design? since it would be based on the expired bridge patent.
I thought for a while about making a cover like this hammock has, rather than using a tarp. My idea was much like this one but I decided not to make it. Two major drawbacks that I see - dealing with the condensation, and not having a place to cook or do chores out of the rain like you can in a one person tent. Easy enough under a hammock tarp...but not in a cover like this.
In the end, it would have weighed as much or more as a tarp. The minor gain in convenience of not having to set up a tarp is quickly outweighed by the disadvantages.
Add to that being able to set up the tarp w/o hammock...for lunch or rest stops...and it's just not worth it IMO.
looks to me like they photoshoped out either 4 or 6 stakes. so i doubt it's even that much faster to set up than a tarp, and with no protected ground space at all.
