    Newbie questions

    Okay so I am buying my first hammock and was asking questions on other parts of this forum about my needs (I am tall but thin/light weight, sleep on my side mostly, and need good bug nets and something for tropical rain forest climate)..

    And a few posters said Switchback was more comfortable as a side sleeper than Warbonnet (which was one of the ones I have been looking at).. But then someone said Claytor is the same design but more affordable (looks like maybe it is heavier.. is that why?)...

    How do you all feel about your switchbacks and why did you choose them over the other popular brands (like Hennessy, Clark and Warbonnet)?

    Thanks!
