    I do love my Trek Light but everyone talks about how cavernous the Switchback is when they get in.
    Besides, it's only money!

    The Treklight Double (I have one) is pretty big, but the SB has the integrated net (which you can tie up out of the way), double bottom (to insert a pad or to have a double layer to protect your butt from skeeter bites), and tie-outs.

    I've been looking at net options for the Treklight and they all involve a lot of work or money. I like Brandon's best and there's no way I could sew a U-shaped zipper! But it will never have the same feel as an integrated net.

    Keep the Treklight for yard hanging.... the SB is really sweet... (another enabler here )

    You're feeding the gear acquisition addiction!

    Thanks Mike. Looks like the HH and SB are the same length. I'll have to see if I can imagine where I'd be with 8" less.

    Time to place an order...
    No doubt Alan, I have a feeling I'll be ordering a light hiker myself come spring time. I don't even need one as I already have a Traveler and Blackbird but I guess I suffer a bit from (G)ear (A)cquisition (S)yndrome.
