No, tarplet will not keep the hammock dry if there is powerful rain or normal rain and wind. To me solution in bug season is to use a air mattress for insulation, so wet hammock does not bother me so...
It is my friends DF - a velomobile. No it is not for trails, it needs good quality roads. I was on my own roadtrip (455 km, 4 days) and he came to see me for a one day to test the Tree-O. DF is full...

I bought two of these. And now one of them is stationary hanged on my yard, where there is...
Warmth is good at least for -30 C (-22F) with good sleeping bag. CSS is probably not a problem with WBRR.
(I have Synmat 9 LW version and had zero problems with -29C)
Seems like it is not going to fly. If you like the idea, now is time to make a pledge.
I made a new one with english narration.
DD Superlight Jungle Hammock 2.0

Youtube messed up with the video quality. So here is a link to the video

Not a review. Just some WhatsApp video clips glued together. I will at some point make a version with subtitles. But for now You have to settle with Finnish narrative.
- the basic system.

I have BlackBird, Dream hammock 11", and few others. But I'm happy with my DD Superlight Jungle, which is shorter than Frontline. And I'm 193 cm and weight is 126 kg. So I'm much bigger than you, in...
I had success with the "tarp over hammock without the netting" -version. It is actually a quite good mod. Works for no-bug season and probably is better at keeping the hammock dry during rain. But it...
After four nights of excellent sleep, I must say I'm very pleased with the hammock.
But real review will follow after using it bit more. After very heavy rain (but no wind) during one night I did...
Got it yesterday. First night was a success. I will write a review at some point...
Good to know, thanks!
I hope I could do the same with tarp as You are doing with the bug net. And only deploy the tarp if there is some minor rain during night. For me the reason to leave the bug...
I did got the answer:
"Without being suspended by the loops in the net, the poles will just sit in the gold eyelets on the side straps of the hammock - and they will fall down.
However if you...
It is very quiet in this forum. I still haven't found the answer to my question about usability of the canopy tarp without the insect netting. I did send a question to the DD Hammocks today - I hope...
...and it was already shipped today.
Reasons for testing this hammock.
1. I like my Switchback, and hope this one has a similar lay, but with more options in usage.
2. I like a hammock in...
Pledged for two. One for my yard to keep it up constantly and one for camping trips.
This could be easy DIY project, but good quality strap and hardware costs too much for experimenting and due...
I'm testing to become a ground sleeper again - with Jerven Fjellduken King Size (almost zero fiddling to get accommodation ready). Last night I slept over snow when it was raining sleet. Snow under...
I have a Synmat 9, and it worked well in hammock at temperature -29 C with good sleeping bag giving extra insulation under my backside also. I do not know what would have happened with TopQuilt only.
Exped also tells the temperature with the R-value. Maybe there we can get a some idea about warmth between temperature ratings and R-values.
Here is an selection I made as for an example.

I must clarify myself it seems.
The soaked part is true. I got my Wiggy's +35 F Overbag soaked once in the Alpine hammock, water had got in and because the bottom is waterproof it stayed in. Bag...
I have been thinking the same, but I mainly use pad and I already have Enlightened equipment climashield quilt and have no need to experiment with Wiggy's quilts.
My question is what about the...
I have been using exclusively my Wiggy's Ground pad - and I have no intention to change.
Minor negative point has been the fact that when used in hammock the insulation has a tendency to drop...
Last chance to support! Only hours left!

Thanks for Your replies. It is nice to hear I'm not the only one testing stuff and piling up those which do not work for me (old biker). My pile is getting bigger ever month. I think if I had more...
Concept is the same as in hammock: Fabric suspended between support points.
These are bridge hammocks which are suspended from the long sides of the fabric (similar to Amok Draumr and Exped ergo...
These are the reasons I like the Alpine hammock. And there is no other hammock which could replace it.
There is no way I could keep any other hammock in my garden. There is no room for tarp. And...

I know some (all?) of you do not like this. I was hesitated at first. I have two of the originals and actually do not have a need for a new version. And this is not the type of the KickStarter I...
Yes, it is a quite a fire hazard. I live in usually very moist Finland and still think if it safe to use here. There should be warning for not to even to think of using it in for example Australia,...
I certainly will make a review.
To me this could be a perfect product to use with tipi and wood fire at boat trips where the weight is not an issue. If there is cold and bad weather I can sleep...
Ok, I understand your answers so that it is not waterproof. All those things listed as foul weather gear almost vanished after "rubber" materials came. Nobody sees fisher man with canvas gear...
I wonder what does it really mean when they say it is waterproof? I thought canvas will let water through if it is not taunt as in for example properly tightened tent wall.
Does anyone know can...
If you move a lot when You sleep then the pad will not suit You. I personally like pads and use them, also air pads, but I change my position during sleeping rarely.
Underquilts are good, but...

At least they say it is very good for windy situations.

Bulltit! Normal temperature in summer here in Finland is 15 C (60 F), there are no problems for mosquitos to operate.
Only after good freezing night there is no problem with mosquitos, and that...
I have two of them! I'm Rich, I'm Rich!!! :lol:
I say, that would be most excellent! :lol:
I must say I do not oppose patents. And I do not oppose Clark to defend theirs. Actually they must defend it otherwise they will lose it. At least that...
As I have said many times - no.
Fanboy! They made something which should have been made ages ago but no-one dared. All others feared the dreaded condensation! ;)
They are my Heroes! :)
Some of You said earlier this could happen. Personally I can not believe that the support structure bar used by all bivak tent makers is patented if used on Hammock. Is DD Hammock soon under law suit...
Thanks and Welcome to Kuopio!
This was my route:

The area has got very good services. Here is a map...
Best part is that the Alpine hammock is great to sleep in. It is similar than the SwitchBack but even narrower from the foot end. And still there is no shoulder squeeze. And even without the diagonal...
Thanks For Your kind words about Images! :)
It actually is breathing one. The upper fabric is eVent. And there is very good ventilation system. But nothing I can think of doesn not ventilate or breathe when there is zero wind and sleet coming...
It was very busy few weeks, but last friday I came running from work and collected all the gear I needed and headed to the Lake Kallavesi.
