    Yes they are. With the buckles, I can have mine up and hanging and pegged down in under two minutes.

    I have the whoopies on mine never had buckles, they are lighter and no metal to rub a hole in a pack was my reasoning but they are strapped directly into my hammock, having straps you can set it up to remove if wet it you choose to but more water can collect on them in a storm and can jump hardware and get into your hammock. so its really a coin flip IMO. They both work.

    are the WBBB XLC fast to put up?
    Get it with the strap suspension and a set of Dutch Clips and it is very fast

    Check Infinity Outfitters' offerings as well. https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...59#post1477659 They have a bunch of colors or you can dye the white version. Their hammocks are rated to 400lbs and they come with carabiners rated to 1,000lbs. Had 340lbs in my Leisure (126" x 60") several times without issue. Just ordered a Double (132" x 70").

    I'm a little over 6'5" and somewhere in the 300 - 315 lbs range. I just got into hammocks myself, but I went with the Kammock Roo. it's rated to 500 lbs which is the highest I found. I went with the Python Straps to start off. I've only been out once so far and I felt pretty safe and secure, but because the straps and biners are only rated for 250lbs each (totaled to reach 500 lbs capacity) I will probably change out the straps and look at stronger biners or a climbing ring.

    I asked Dutch put together an Argon 1.6, 10.5 ft. Double layer hammock ( in Camo ) for me because the kid (75 lbs. ) likes to sleep with me. Continuous loops, whoopie slings with dutch hooks. Could not be happier... it holds the both of us just fine... I'm 6'2" 225 lbs. .... trying to loose 20 lbs.

    i use a hennessy hammock explorer. I'm 6'2 270. It holds up really well for me. I would recommend checking it out, maybe even trying it out before you buy it. I'm in the process of changing some of the things (the fly and suspension) but stock, it works really well.
