    Not sure about the Hennessey but if Warbonnet has 2 different weight limits. I think the light one goes up to 250 lbs and the heavy is maybe 400 lbs. One of them is made out of 1.1 and the other is made out of 1.7 I believe.
    Not sure of your weight or height, check them out at http://warbonnetoutdoors.com/

    As a big guy, I've been really happy with my Warbonnet.

    The Warbonnet is made in the USA.

    HH or WB are both good hammocks. If you can, try one first.
    For me the Explorer was better. Its just personal preference.
    Or you can get a Papa Smurf Hammock..

    I think they are both great. Asking which is better is a loaded question. This discussion goes back to the days of the caveman (or close I'm pretty sure)

    I love my HH expedition. I'm 6' and about 210 or so. HH makes models for larger guys too. I've heard nothing but good things about WB too. Good luck with your decision and let us know what you decide.

    You'll have to buy both to know the answer for sure.
    You'll need a loaner for friends anyway, right.

    Brando at Warbonnet has custom built hammocks for some of our more gavity challenged hangers.

    I weigh 275 and use the BB 1.7 double and love it.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
