Switchback Light Hiker arrived yesterday

Yesterday ( CORRECTION: TWO DAYS AGO )I received a Switchback Light Hiker.. It is the shortest hammock I own and I am enjoying everything about it. I am 6 foot 1 and weigh 220 pounds and I fit right in. It is not as long as the original Switchback hammock but is still as wide. I set up and used my Speer Pee Pod with it and it worked fantastic. The temperatures dropped down to 12 degrees and I stayed warm inside the Pea Pod with some extra layers of insultex insulation. I found that the Switchback Light Hiker to be comfortable for such a short hammock.

TTT's website is a bit niggardly with details...how long/wide is the light hiker?

**joggerjohn** · 12-13-2010, 09:20

I believed it is about nine and a half feet long and 4 feet wide. It is short and small compared to my other hammocks but it is well designed. It is also the least heavy of all my netted hammocks.
