length 11 ft, 3"
SL 28.5 oz
DL 41.8 oz
wt limits: tested 1600 lbs, safety 1000 lbs( that is a sign to me to expect a heavier hammock)
Is yours single or double layer? I assume single, since yours is 29.9 oz?
I am surprised at so much weight for a single layer, since I have the Inferno quilts and I have found them- especially the hooded TQ- to be truly UL for the insulation and draft blocking provided. But, the hammock is huge and with that weight rating of 1000 lbs, I guess it is going to be heavy. It is a lot heavier than my new 250 lb rated JRB bridge hammock even counting the poles.
But I am still looking forward to testing the comfort claims. I remain skeptical.
