I've searched the site and haven't gotten very far... From what I've gathered WV made one similar and the EXPED Ergo is along the same lines. I want to mimic something along those lines and would rather make it myself...

Here's a link to one I'm building. I was moving along with the build but life got in the way... The pile of fabric is starting to whisper my name again.

Interesting- a few questions-
1. How do you get into it- looks like it has to be from the head/foot, then crawl.
2. Shoulder-squeeze potential is high. Side sleeping looks good, though.

Different strokes, folks.... it's what makes the world interesting

There's been a few of these style hammocks posted. Exped made one as did Amok Equipment (Draumr model). The latter one required a sleeping pad to make it work properly. I find the issue with these 90° hammocks is that they need a rather wide tarp to cover them. If one is after a really flat lay, then get yourself a bridge hammock.

Cheers

With Google Chrome you can search <90 degree hammock> and when the search results return, look at the top of the Menu/ToolBar and select <Images>.

A picture is worth a ....well, you know the rest.

A video is even better...

Someone mention a tarp?

Well, there's a great name for the hammock once you build it: "Whispertex"!

"Whispertex" Nice one WV!

I have a feeling that a more accurate name will be the "Triple T". The Texas Tipsy Tervey...

THX for sharing the link to the 90DHT site. I enjoyed reading through the "About Us" page, and that the early design led to the Exped hammock and the creator has continued to tweak/design to this latest model away from Exped.

I found this thread as my wife and I went ahead and ordered (after patently waiting) two Amok Draumr v3 and appropriate Exped mat(s). This might sound crazy but the feature that sealed the deal for us was being able to comfortably also sit/lounge in the hammock/Amok over the other's we've seen to date. We do a lot of lounging in camp...like hours a day within earshot of the rivers we typically camp by (keeping leave-no-trace guidelines in tact). To us, our search was not necessarily sleep related, but rather all-around use (sleep/sit/lounge). Time will tell if the Amok v3 will satisfy my wife's lust to hang! And to think all I did was grab a couple ENO's last year from REI ; )

Cheers,
Thom

Accrete, I look forward to your report because (a) you know what you're looking for, and (b) we'll have two opinions on the same type of gear used under the same conditions. (IMO that will make your review at least twice as useful as any others.) My experience with right-angle hammocks suggests that it may not be easy to enter and exit or sit facing "sideways" - I've had mixed results with different prototypes - but the 45° orientation of the Amok is supposed to make entry and exit easier. I haven't seen any comments on ease of lounging around, so tell us about it, and let us know how it is for sleeping, too.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger and got the wife to approve the budget... I ordered the Gamma UL... looking forward to the hang! I've got a Boy Scout camp out scheduled in a couple weeks, looks like it will be a good time to test it out!!!
