I've been year-round hammock camping for about six years. Much of that has been in a DWG Chameleon Wide symmetrical. Love that hammock, but I'm trying something new and now buying a Dreamhammock Sparrow.

I want another wide hammock. My chameleon is 68" wide. My question is if the full 74" of the Sparrow would be too wide. Is there such a thing? I'm aware of the extra fabric issues, but was only occasionally bothered by that even though I rarely used tie-outs. My biggest potential concern is that extra diagonal lay my cause issues with my under quilt in winter camping.

I have a Sparrow ordered. The piece I'm working on with Dreamhammock is whether I should limit the width.

Me...
  • 5'11"
  • 165 lbs
  • Normal build


Sparrow...
  • 11 ft
  • Single Layer
  • Asym - Left Lay (head right, feet left)
  • 1.6oz HyperD-XL
  • Wide as Possible - 74"


Your thoughts and advice are appreciated.
