    I agree with the prior posts on it being a personal preference. I enjoy my Wilderness Logics DL for the lay and feel. But for longer distances I'll often use a SL hammock for reduced weight.

    Hey Kattdog & Jayman,

    Thanks much for being willing to share your UQs! Many options. I think Katt's shorter 0*F may work well. If needed we can stack a lighter UQ.
