UL Backpacker v Expedition v Hyperlight?

[jameyt]

I'm seriously considering upgrading my hammock (Grand Trunk backpacking) to a Hennessy, largely so I can get the Cub for my son.

I want to keep the weight down, so I'm leaning more towards the UL Backpacker rather than the Expedition.

Besides weight, what are the main things I need to consider in differences between the three?

I'm 5'8" and 180lbs.

Any strong opinions?

My strongest opinion would be moving away from the expedition sized hammocks (which i have) and to the larger explorer models. I find the expedition tighter space-wise than i like only being slightly taller and lighter than yourself.

However, if you are firm on the expedition line, i would go with the UL for weight conscious and durability median and switch out the lines for dynaglide or amsteel whoopies.

Thanks. Went with Backpacker UL and am swapping out for dynaglide whoopies tomorrow.
