Ok, you guys have encouraged me to go out and set up my Clark NA which has been essentially in mothballs for a couple years. It's better than I remember, based on me having more knowledge on setup I'm sure (Cavediver2's vids helped, I had made the mistake of threading the foot end support through the tarp) but it's still feeling rather narrow for me. I do show just in the comfort zone, but I suspect I'm out of spec for a normal person my size/weight.
For those who have both, or experience in both, I'm curious if the 6" width and 1' length do, in fact, make a difference? In laying in it, it would seem so to me, as I'm trying to envision 3" wider each side and 6" more on the head and foot. I'm doing well in the Hennessy at the moment, but I do believe Clark has the superior off the shelf total system. It's a fair bit of dollars though, to get another one. However, it's not like wasted, as my daughter who's tracking to be a Wildland Firefighter just loves the Clark as I put her in to test new whoopie slings on it. The HH I'm in is the Asym Explorer Deluxe, for the 300 lb limit, feels like a whole bunch more room and no netting laying on skin making it useless.
SOooo...is the additional width and length noticeable and dramatically better comfort wise if I'm on the line as far as the chart goes?
