    DD Jungle vs SB dl 1.1

    I think I'm going to ask Santa for a new hammock. Help me decided between the DD Jungle vs. the Switchback double layer 1.1. I hope some of you will have experience with both.

    Thanks,

    Tuck

    DD Jungle:
    -weight (hammock+bugnet...trying to keep things equal, includes whoopies): 35 oz.
    -Length: 106'
    -Width: 55'
    -single layer body
    -$175 plus shipping
    -pretty cool modular system (removable bug net, rain tarp/uq protector)
    -63 oz overall
    -only comes in green (-)

    SB
    -weight (needs suspension): 26 oz
    -Length: 120
    -Width: 52
    -double layer body (I use a pad for insulation)
    -$190 (on sale + free shipping)
    -thinking about having the 2QZQ bug net mod ($35 + shipping)
    -comes in brown (+)

    Questions:
    -What kind of fabric does DD use?
    -Which is more comfortable for someone who moves around a lot while they sleep?
    -Quality?

    I have the new modular DD Jungle hammock and find it very comfortable and very roomy, especially with the poles. It is a very nice hammock.

    I had a SB and for some reason I could not sleep in it. I loved the hammock design and how the bugnet could be tied up when not needed. I just could not sleep in it no matter how I hung it. The website says to hang it tighter than you normally would and didn't require the 30* hang angle. I tried several ways to hang it and I never could get it right for me. YMMV...

    Good luck in your decision. I have friends who love their SB.
