Hey everyone, I just wanted to post my review of the new big boy bridge hammocks made by v_allen. I was lucky enough to receive his first version which is what he calls a 4 season ( hence heavy duty) bridge hammock. There's a lot of specs which I'll get too shortly. They are also in the video. I did this review on my new you tube channel the BIG backpacker. I actually wasn't going to start the channel yet but somehow I posted this on there..lots to learn yet. Anyway as a big backpacker I feel it's important to let people know what's out there for us and to review it accordingly..Vince, having made gear for me before asked if I'd be willing to test this bridge hammock for him. I was excited to give it a try. Most hammock makers do not make a bridge for us bigger guys and Vince thought he had a good design for one and boy did he! Mind you now this was his prototype so it'll be a lil more refined and tweeted yet. He plans on offering 3 types of bridge hammocks out of the HyperD 1.6 a single layer ( called light duty) a double layer (called double duty) , both of which are "3 season" (no deep storage at the ends) and the heavy duty which is in the video. The heavy duty includes the deep storage on the ends and is a little shorter in main body, but also has longer spreader bars all intended for th e extra gear you might have in the winter.
For its size and weight there is unbelievable comfort and support..so check it out and if you want one contact him here at v_allen on the forums. So my pleasure to give you first peak at a big boys bridge hammock, THE HEAVY DUTY BRIDGE HAMMOCK
