Anyone see CLark's new suspension?

it's basically whoopies, but you put them on the toggle, jeje
they replaced the continuous loop with a metal piece

looks like a half dozen pieces to go missing in the woods

You can’t though because comments are disabled for the video.

Why wouldn’t they say the weight in the video? Does anyone think this would improve comfort like they claim?

I really wonder where the product managers at the big hammock companies get their ideas. Somehow I doubt it's Hammockforums.

Other than that my impression is that it's a strange solution to a problem that doesn't really exist.

Somebody with not a lot of practical experience and a PhD in Doodadology?

That suspension looks as if it might weigh more than my whole setup.

My Clark Jungle Hammock from 1999 came with an awful 1/2" yellow polypro rope fed through the end channels that was meant to be tied around the trees. I see in the video they still had rope as their suspension. I guess this is and improvement but with aspects that are unnecessary.

The one plus I did like is the adjustable tree strap idea. Not sure it is really a solution, but worth a thought or two. The silly cheap cord lock on a metal bolt was very funny.

I saw "new suspension", then a 4.5 minute video, and assumed it would be someone overthinking a simple process.

Yup!

So basically the harbor freight of suspensions.

I would not trust that cord lock to remain in place on those bolt threads. The whole thing seems like something you would jury-rig in your garage.
