New Hammock setup

[Bigfoot86]

Ok i am new to hammocking i have a eno but i am looking to go lighter and better. So here is what i need
- i weigh 220 lbs and im 6'1"
- has to have attached bugnet
- tarp with attached doors
- as light as possible as i am a long distance backpacker
- i perfer blue or bright colors to natural colors

So with some looking all i have found was the BIAS hiker lite and a superfly tarp

Thanks for any all suggestions.

Dream Hammock and Hammeck are the only manufacturers I can think of where you'll get an integrated hammock in the color of your liking. You could ask Simply Light Designs if you could have a Trail Lair made with a custom fabric, though.

Of course there some mass manufacturer choices as well, but I haven't seen anything with a good size-weight ratio, yet.

If so, why would you consider the Superfly tarp at all?
A cuben fiber tarp with doors weighs below 7 oz, while any silnylon tarp is much heavier....

You should check out the BoneFire hammock. It's super light. Integrated bugnet and underquilt. I got to talk to Brother Bones last weekend and try out the hammock. Great guy and great product. It was super comfortable, and in my opinion, perfect for long distance backpacking. He will also custom build one to your liking if you prefer.
