    If by chance you mean DD Hammocks' 3m x 3m, mine weighs 830g (29 oz) with stuff sack, but no cordage or stakes. It lists at 790g (28 oz), so that's presumably without the stuff sack.

    Are you 11 feet tall? :D

    Most torso lengths top out near 22 inches. I'm guessing you were referring to your chest size (circumference).
