I just received one of Bill's Luxury Bridge Hammocks. It is a single layer in 1.7 Hybrid Robic (IIRC). My first one is a Hex70 single layer which was part of Bill's testing group. The hammock worked well and gives a very flat lay, which I've found I need for side sleeping. The Hex70 is a 2.2 material and is a bit stiff for my weight (190ish) and required a pad. But, it was very comfy with a Big Agnes LW pad. This 1.7 seems like it will be comfortable without a pad. This will save a lot of weight and help in warm weather. I found that my UGQ Zeppelin UQ works with these, so a pad is just for extra comfort.
As a subdued color guy from way back, I wasn't sure I'd like the color. It is officially known as Olive Yellow, which sounds like a great color for a squash. Upon arrival, I LOVE the color scheme of this hammock. The black edges and brown bags are a great contrast to the green. If RSBTR were smart, they would totally rename this color "Margaritaville"
It'll be a while before I get out in the field, but lounging in this thing is really comfy and I have high hopes for some great nights.
