Thanks for that-very helpful tip using the paracord choke on the suspension.

Nice review - thank-you. I'm 5'9" also, and the 3 season Jarbridge has been my go-to UQ for years. Perfect fit for me and has proven to be very durable.

As a side note - the Jarbridge is also a perfect fit inside the Hennessy SuperShelter - with the top cover and adding the Jarbridge I've been very warm at 15F. When using with the 'Classic' bottom entry hammock, you don't connect the UQ foot end - just connect the UQ head end and loosen up both draft collars - the SuperShelter keeps the Jarbridge in place nicely.

Thanks again this was a nice/honest review.

Thanks for the video review. We get lots of requests for free gear to review from folks but I just can't put as much weight into those as reviews from folks that have spent time using the gear that they bought with their own hard earned income.

Nice review and look-see.

Can Paul or anyone else tell me how much the single season version weighs?

I'm also 5'9" and my limited experience with the Jarbidge mirrors yours. It's a heck of a value. Thanks for posting the video.
Cheers.

Thanks for tip about using the paracord on the suspension. I'll definitely borrow that idea for my wife's Chameleon.

The 1 season (summer) Jarbidges come out at about 16 ounces...and pack down to around the size of a large Cantaloupe.

Well, that was a heck of a rabbit hole I fell into.

Watched your video yesterday as part of my lazy Sunday morning hammock forum browsing. Nice review. So nice it got me thinking about synthetic, when it had never even been on my radar. I’m new and still putting together my kit. Temps are dropping faster than I can save money for quilts. Lead times and so many options make purchasing downy goodness even more daunting. ...So I wandered over to AHE. Looking at the Jarbidge lead to questions. Found all the answers in the videos Paul has posted (thank you!). Then spent an embarrassing amount of time watching a bunch of Hang videos (I need to take some trips to ID—gorgeous!). Then read thru Jarbidge and other AHE quilt threads here. Went to YouTube to watch more reviews. Agonized over colors. Looked for pics to compare colors. Took detours looking at all the other cool stuff on AHE. Remembered to feed my dog.

And then I bought a Jarbidge.

Hammock Forums should come with a warning label.
