Well how bout some more questions?

Do these insulate as easily as a bridge?

I guess one thing is: PeaPods and Polarpods probably work great with them, since same folks make both!

These are a brand that I never got around to trying, and I am feeling a dangerous level of curiosity.

BB,

If you don't get to try one soon, maybe you can pop up to Meriwether Lewis on the Trace for a Saturday night. You can try my Lighthiker DL. Ewker and Hamhocker and I have been talking about a Saturday getaway just to get out of the house. Will tie you in to that if you are interested.

I chose the light hiker 1.9 for the weight and I chose the single because I use quilts. I have never gotten a chance to try the other models but I am really satisfied with that one. Mostly it is the lay that keeps me picking it. The most quality of a hammock is comfort. I have a diy hammock and my switchback competing the best in comfort.

Am I missing something on their website? I can't see a LightHiker 1.9 single layer.

I take that back. It is a switch back. There are the lops on either side that makes it a switchback

No not at all. The double will just be a bit heavier.

I haven't used mine in a long time... I need to rediscover it. Thanks for reminding me.

I used mine (1.1 DL Switchback) a couple of weekends ago for a 3-nighter up at Grayson Highlands. Used a pad instead of the my UQ due to the temperature. Pad slid right in between the layers and stayed put. Very nice arrangement for the milder temps.
