I am thinking about buying a new hammock, and the sparrow is looking pretty appealing right now. I do have a few questions that I am hoping to get some advice on before I put in an order however.
I love the idea of a removable bug net and cover. I am using a bug sock right now, and it works fine, but a bug sock is a lot of extra fabric to carry around since I don't use it 100% of the time. My concern is the zipper. Do you feel like the zipper gets in your way if the bug net is not installed? Does it annoy you, or do you not notice it on the edge of the hammock?
My second question is about the fabrics. I am leaning towards a single layer 1.6 hyperD XL, but the 1.0 ROBIX XL looks pretty nice also. I am 6'2 230lbs, so I think either would be strong enough to hold me. Does anyone have any opinion on how these two feel? I would like a softer feel, but that isn't my main concern. Strength and low weight are a bit more important to me. I have never had a double layer just to avoid the added weight.
What do you guys think? Any input would be appreciated.
