Now, when you say 83%, is that the length after you make the buries for the fixed eye and the whoopie?

On my 10 foot streamliner my ridgeline is 104 inches. I bought Jareds ARL and its nice being able to dial it in based on my comfort.

So, I did some quick calculations, and 83% of 9 ft. or 108 inches is 89.64 inches.

Just ordered a streamliner. 9ft. I have a Webb and a gt ultralight. And a equip hammock from walchina. Will let you know on comparison after I get it tommorrow. I am glad to hear all the good things on his products.

I know he's got a sale going on right now that includes some prototypes of these! There's a single layer, a double layer, and a streamliner version.

I currently use a SL Tree Runner that I love, and I picked up a Skeeter Defender just the other day. Kinda wish I had waited for the sale, but oh well.

Purchased my hammock last night, and by this morning at six am MST I had an email from Jared stating that he had finished the hammy and it was shipped. Wow. Fast and great customer service. Hopefully, by next week, I will be hanging in it. I am excited to share my experiences and pictures. Until then, enjoy your SLD hammocks.

I got my streamliner yesterday. Took three days to get here, order Fri I think got here Monday. Weight is 11and 7/8 oz total. Haven't had a chance to get it out and hang but I'm really excited.

What is the best way to attach whoopies to the Streamliner. I was thinking of larks heading a continuous loop through each end and then larks heading the whoopies and ridge line to those. Now I have heard that you can just larkshead the whoopies right to the ends. ??? So many decisions.

I did that at first and the way it bunched up the end seemed to affect the lay. Jared confirmed this could be an issue. I had him install a loop through the channels instead of larks heading the loop on. In lieu of doing that, you might try a dogbone where the two ends meet where you larks head the whoopie to them.
