I don't have that exact hammock, but their weights listed on this page for the hammock I do have are correct.

Ok, I see they are giving the basic hammock weight by itself without the bug screen, straps and buckles. Mine the added accessories mentioned all together weighs near 4 pounds.
That seems like something is wrong to me. Using the weights on their website, you should be right at 3 lbs. Hopefully someone can give you a more direct comparison, but here's mine:
12' SG 15: 42 oz
Bottom Entry Bugnet: 5 oz
Cinch buckle suspension: 8 oz (the only thing I've measured of theirs that is off by much and I figure is sap I've picked up)
Stuff sack w/ 3 biners and 2 drip lines: 3 oz
Total weight: 3 lb 10 oz
Seems like the 11' 30deg with full bug net and suspension would be 48oz. Are you saying yours weighs nearly 64oz?
A comparable Warbonnet Eldorado/Wookie30/webbing&buckles weighs about 45oz. My setup of netless hammock, EE30 UQ, and Dutch mantis suspension is under 30oz. I might take a 6oz bugnet, but rarely have needed it in the mountains. I just got my 15 degree Superior, just in time for summer, lol. But I'm sure I'll find a cool day to get high soon before the dog days come.

Ok, I was a bit hasty on my initial weighin. This is everything but the kitchen sink. (3.49 lbs) Almost a half pound more than advertised, Im not going to quibble over that. Perhaps my scales are off. Point of information is all. Thanks for your comments
