I've finally found hammock nirvana!
Thy name is Switchback.
Just took delivery of a new SB 1.9 DL and it is by far the most comfortable hammock I've been in...and I've owned a TON of them over the past few years.
Spacious interior doesn't even begin to describe it. Lots of space to twist and turn.
It will be even bigger once I get some arrow shafts and install them at each end of the net.
The construction is faultless. I'm sure this thing will outlast me. Gotta be bulletproof!
The fabric feels good against the skin.
There are mesh pockets on the interior at each end of the hammock for small items. Nice touch.
...and most important of all: no calf ridgeline under my knees!!!
Nirvana at last!
Instead of using toggles, I wrapped the provided straps around the tree a couple of times and threaded it through the other loop. I then attached a carabiner to the exposed loop.
Here you can see the whoopie sling and netting shock cord loop attached at the carabiner.
It works perfectly! When I get into the hammock, it drops away creating a HUGE cavern of netting above me.
Even the sun seems to favor the Switchback.
Look at the extra glint and halo effect as it shines upon it!
