AMOK - very interesting

[Slugger]

the other thing I've found, is that I really prefer the thicker pads as well

the synmat 9 fills out the hammock much better than the synmat 5

I also prefer my pads completely filled

some folks seem to like them only 2/3 filled

again, it's all personal, which is lovely

I've been using a Synmat 7LW, fully inflated. I found that only partial inflation caused it to bend too much, not giving me enough support. But as the acronym goes, HYOH!

Same here. The wide pads fill up the pad sleeve width-wise and makes for a more comfortable sleep.



Didrik - thanks for adding to this thread. It's always helpful that someone from the manufacturer chimes in to help push out correct information!

My Pleasure

I will try to pop in from time to time on the forum and help out where I can, or if anyone has any questions I will try to answer as soon as I check in.

Nice to see people in the community helping each other out and exchanging experiences.
Keep it up.

The picture is from yesterdays shenanigans in Romsdalen, Norway. I am currently on easter vacation, so I wont be able to check in as often this coming week

Happy Easter to everyone!



Stay wild,
Didrik

"About the name: Fjøl™

Fjøl means board in old Norse, plain and simple as that."

[Slugger]

In my post I said it was FJzeroL...obviously I am not adept at the Norse language! In English a O with a slash through it means zero. Heads up Didrik - you'll hear from us that it's a zero!

Thanks for pointing out that, because we alos think that is outrageous.
Therefore we are opening a webshop in Canada very soon, which will help a lot with shipping costs

First and foremost we have started making our own pads because we had to make a much longer pad for the DRAUM XL which will be available for pre order August 1st. Since no other manufacturer made pads that are 220cm in the design we need, we decided to do it ourselves. So the regular FJØL we just launched only marks the 1 important step towards FJØL XL which is being tested over the summer.
