    The heavy, but idiot proof, ENO has officially been moved to the Soob's trunk.

    Thanks Randy, this will be awesome (and light!) along my 7-day hike next weekend.
    Haha I know it was way too hot but when I got the hammock there was no way I wasn't gonna check it out! I hope you enjoy yours!

    Can you explain the "vented" comment? I have ENO and tarp and bugnet which works very well for me. But I am intrigued???

    The "vented" part referred to the added over cover. It's a section of no seeum used to vent air in so you don't have condensation when using the over cover. If that helps at all

    Feels pretty flat to me, but I'm a side sleeper. I'll get more photos from the trail when I return on the 5th.

    In case anyone is curious; I know Randy has his nifty web site calculator too:

    • Netting and bag 118 g
    • 10 ft straps (x2) 124 g
    • buckles (x2) 41 g
    • over cover and bag 183 g
    • Stuff sack 17 g
    • hammock w/ amstl 406 g
    • Measured total 887 g


    That's 1.6 HypderD under and 2.0 multicam overcover. I run into longer tree spans, wider trees and alpine/lake/ocean winds often, so I'll likely always have everything together, but under 2 lbs is pretty hard to beat unless you're sharing a tent or in a bivy. I wonder what that 1.0 Woodland one from a few weeks ago weighs-in at.
