First of all, I'm a rather largish man... 6'4 & 340# or so...
Some thoughts on it after having used it now for several nights.
I did a lot of research using the forums and emailing Papa Smurf, I decided to bite the bullet.
I'm very glad that I went with the Thunderbird.
As a largish (and tall) man, I have wide shoulders, chest, hips, big feet.
I was concerned about having both enough ROOM and the durability of the hammock.
Thus, the weight for me isn't much of an issue.
I'm more concerned about tearing something up from day to day 'normal' use.
It has 'got' to be durable or heavy-duty otherwise, what's the point.
For me, the extra width is great. I'm able to achieve a very comfortable and mostly flat lay.
I was frankly surprised that I sleep so well, and I absolutely love the removable screen/cover on it. I'd misplace things if not attached. Very convenient.
Even for as wide as I am, I don't get the impression that I'm being squeezed in.
I love sleeping in the thing because of it's even support.
I'm able to stretch out and not feel confined. I look forward to sleeping now while out in the woods.
People talk about the quality and fit & finish of the final product. 'Refined' is another word to use.
Well worth the money IMO.
If there are any largish other guys reading this, consider the Dream Hammock.
I'm glad I did.
Regards
