Hennessy Hammock Ultralite Backpacker Series - Ultralight Camping and Survival Shelter

First let me start with ,I have been a backpacker for a long time and I search endlessly for gear that is better in one way or another. I own several Hennessey Hammocks from the scout to the Explorer and an Expedition. I also have a Clark NX270. I got the Backpacker UL to try out for the weight savings. It is the same size as the Expedition but weighs in at 1 pound 12 Oz on my scale with the rain fly and snake skins attached. The Clark and the Explorer both weigh the same at 3 pounds 14 oz. The Expedition came in at 2 pounds 10 oz. Anything you can do to save a pound of weight is worth it . I took it out on a 3 day trip for it's first run to find out if it stood up to what I expect from a hennessey hammock. It did with flying colors. The Asem. Design still allows me to sleep flat on my back, on my side or even almost on my stomach. I thought the sil nylon would let the air pass threw too much but that was not a problem. It has about the same breathing properties as the others. It seems to have a somewhat larger fly on it but I have not confirmed that yet. Because of the weight savings I can take the Hex fly along if heavy rains are forcasted and still come out lighter than taking any of the rest of the hammocks. It is well made and appears to be as tough as my Clark but at 1/3 the weight. This backpacker hammock will be the go to hammock for all my trips now . .. unless I plan on camping in a blizzard In 0 degree weather or during a hurricane. The Clark is still king for the worst conditions like that . The Backpacker is perfect for any thing normal to just at extreme weather conditions.

I love this thing!
