Currently on fence between;
12' x 74" 1.6 Hyper D xl
12' x 66" 1.2 MTN xl
I'm 6 foot 4" and weigh around 170lb, broad shoulder, slim build. Currently i use a 12 foot x 68" that gives me a flat lay, but i think a wider base would give my feet more room to wiggle, and I like to wiggle from back to side so this seems important...but am i wrong?
I do not want to compromise on comfort which is why I am leaning towards HyperD, mostly because you can't go wrong with more width in terms of comfort, but you can definitely go wrong with less imo and my only real experience is with 68"
If I'm wrong on width, I would feel less cautious about going narrower, in which case the MTN is my top pick because it's meant to be very supportive for it's weight, but if it's restrictive of my comfort or wiggling, I'd rather carry the extra weight and maximize sleep.
what's your favorite material, out of these 2? Would the difference be noticeable for a taller person? Do any of you regularly carry wider hammocks on longer trips because of the comfort benefits, or are they marginal enough to warrant a lighter/narrower setup?
Cheers!
