    10ft or 11ft?

    Im very interested in the DH Darien model but I dont know which length to order. Is there a pretty big difference in comfort with the larger 11ft? Worth the price/weight difference? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

    Your choice. But you would be very comfortable in a 10 foot. And save weight, bulk and money.

    I would check with papasmurf I believe he's pushing 240ish maybe 5'9 either way I tried his 10' and was very comfortable I'm 5'11 230lbs I ordered the 11ft t-bird and it is just as comfortable to me. I'm a newbie and he spends his nights in his hammock so I would check with him. Being new to hammocks I wanted to buy once not many if that makes sense. Good luck. Also there are some threads on length v.s width

    It seemed like I would be, but have heard alot of praise for the 11ft hammocks comfort wise. Although ive heard the same with any sized Dream Hammock as well lol. Thanks Tree Frog!

    You are welcome. I'm 6' 2" so I went with an 11 foot. I also used a 10 foot and was comfortable in the past.
