The hammock material that the original uses is heavy and noisy as well.
When I talked w/ Dutch at Hang Con he compared the originals to Mack trucks, heavy duty and they will just keep on working. Being that I drive a similar truck I could relate. Of course it was a month or more before we got to hang it for the first time and try it out.
I think if the hammock material was a nicer, more modern material, the length got increased, and the space between the hammocks at the head was less (I mean really, how much crap do you need w/ you?!) I'd be very happy w/ it.
