Hammocks are fantastic for back sleepers and can be decent for side sleepers, but, for the most part, you can forget about sleeping on your stomach. Until now, anyway. Enter the Warbonnet Ridgerunner, our choice for ultimate comfort. It has spreader bars that help create the flattest lay possible, so flat our testers could get comfortable on their backs, both sides, and even on their stomachs. It's like laying in a floating cot made out of top-of-the-line materials. This was, no lie, the best night's sleep we have ever had hanging between trees. The Ridgerunner also has an optional integrated bug net. We tested the whoopie sling suspension system and found it among the easiest to hang and adjust, not to mention one of the lightest out there.
On the downside, the suspension system is sold separately, upping the price point overall. This model is also on the heavy end of the spectrum at 52 ounces for the whole system, making it less ideal for lightweight backcountry adventures. Also, it is disconcertingly easy to tip over compared to models without spreader bars. This tipsiness makes for excellent physical comedy with new users but cuts down on relaxation until you have some practice. We suggest giving the Ridgerunner a try if you've been dying to enjoy suspended camping but can't get comfortable sleeping in others.

Double layer is unneeded weight if you will always (or nearly always) use an UQ and leave the pad home. If you like the lay of your heavy car-camping hammock, consider the Warbonnet Ridgerunner. You can get custom carbon poles for it that significantly reduce total weight, but it will still be heavier than a GE.

To upgrade my existing kit or replace it, that the crux. 

I have been primarily a tenter but plan on doing some Pacific Northwest and AT backpacking hammock style. I typically go out for anywhere from 2 nights to 3 weeks with aspirations of an eventual thru hike in a couple years for 1 or more of the long trails. My typical day on trail is 12-18 miles. 

Currently, have a Crua Koala Maxx setup. Seemed a good initial buy and for a complete kit at a bit over 300 bucks it has been decent to learn what I like and what I don't with it. But it really seems better suited to car camping than backpacking.

Things I don't like about it:
The weight: 7.9lbs with my HG econ 20 deg quilt
Spreader bars: they are awkward and I would prefer asym tie outs 
Not double layered: I "THINK" I would like the added versatility
Synthetic quilt doesn't compress

May be wrong/unfair to compare but it is twice as heavy as my huge DCF mid tent, therma rest pad, and HG quilt, 4.1 lbs total. I can allow for a little more weight but it is too much.

I can shave off 2 lbs by changing the daisy straps to UL HG ones, DCF tarp, and getting a down UQ replacement, cost of those 2 lbs is about $600 making it a $900 setup that doesn't solve the tie out /spreader bar issue because it the bugnet sleeves over the entire hammock making adding asym tie outs much more complicated to add. It also still weights about 6lbs, better but not great.

Looking at selling what I have and replacing it with a new system appears cheaper in the long run and to that end I have been looking at the following.

Warbonnet XLC Light double
Dutchware Clameleon 1.2 Double
Hammock Gear WanderLuxe Kit (Circadian Hammock)

The Wanderluxe kit out the gate drops the weight to a very respectful 4.6 lbs for $800 bucks. Though it isn't double layered and I think I would prefer a rectangle tarp vs a hex. haven't use a hex so don't know for certain. Seems like a good deal though.

Chameleon custom kit would be about $900 and close to 5lbs.

Warbonnet custom kit can get into a middle weight between the HG and Chameleon at around $1000, 

I "Feel" like a double layer hammock is more versatile as I always carry a closed foam pad to sit on and can double it up as insulation  during +40 deg weather nights letting my leave the under quilt home. But I have only tested it out laying on it in the crua and that worked pretty well.

So the questions:
1. Does double layer matter? Do you ever use it?
2. Do you prefer a Hex tarp vs rectangle one?
3. Which hammock do you prefer/wish you had and why?
4. Is there another option I should look at? (reviewed Mantis, Kammock, and Hennessy eliminating those for various reasons)

How is the quality from each manufacturer? While I take care of my gear I am also not the most gentle person in the world with it.

Thanks all for any responses/suggestions. I know questions like this get asked a lot.

Decisions on Kit to lighten what I have or swap to Cicadian/Blackbird XLC light double/Chameleon 1.2 double

 Let'S get it on a tree all right. I got the hammock all strung up. This hammock takes a little bit of setting up. You want the foot in uh like 12 inches higher than the head end

 I mean it does lean a bit got ta get used. To that i mean, i think it's well worth it the way way you you're laying it. You know: [, Music, ], all right, so this dreamtex fabric, it combines a traditional rip, stop with a bias. Directional diamond grid to create fabric that is incredibly comfortable, cotton-like texture

 It'S actually compatible with the lynx under quilt model, so you can buy that and you can get under quilt, but you don't really need one because you put your pad right in there and that will probably make it a little more of a flat leg too. So i hope you guys enjoyed it warbonnet ridge, runner and if you like, this kind of stuff uh consider subscribing because i'm going to keep doing more hammock reviews, probably more gear reviews too. Just let me know what you want to review next down in the comments. Don'T forget to like and uh share the video

 You know you can get the flat leg hammocks that are still gathered in, but you know they're not exactly flat and if they are somewhat flat you're still, you know pinching on the sides. This you have uh. You know arm room too now, when you get in here, there's actually material. Let me just show you: there's uh they've manufactured a uh spot where you can grab on

Warbonnet Ridgerunner Review NEWEST MODEL

 So having come out here to do this to to set both of them up, lay in them roll around in them show you guys the the features of both of them, which is the better one. Well i'll i'll say this: if you already own one of these either one, if you have the ridge runner, whether it's this newer version or the older version, or you were one of the fortunate people that got one of the banyans before some of the supply issues Came up with covid you've got the right hammock. I don't care whether you've got the banyan or you've got the ridge runner. If you own one of these and you enjoy laying in it you've got the right hammock

 The shape is the same. You know it's great. You can lay in both of them and look out and see what whatever you want. Um, it's just kind of it's kind of nice bridge hammocks, just just provide a little bit of a different experience for you

 Now the banyan is not exactly available right now, there's been some delays in some of the production stuff and it's really at no fault of dutch wear gear. They'Ve got their stuff pretty much set up, but one of their vendors, one of the big main pieces of it they're having trouble getting in, and so it's going to be a little bit of a little bit of time before it's ready to get out there. But today, what we're going to do is we're going to take a look at both of these we're going to talk about set up on both of them, what the differences are between them. Advantages of of some disadvantages on the other side, uh, so yeah, the pluses and minuses, the things that i like or dislike, and then i'm going to lay in both of them and tell you guys about the lay: are they very similar? Are they dissimilar? What is it, what is it about them that would make you want to go one way or the other

Bridge Hammock Battle! :: Which is better the Warbonnet Ridge Runner or the Dutchware Gear Banyan??

 At 230 dollars, I felt like that was a pretty big steal to be able to walk away with everything that I needed to get started hammock Camping And among those items, I was sent the Quest Tarp, which is a Sil nylon tarp from Hammock Gear. It's fairly popular option. it's also lightweight. I also received and I put some of this stuff in my own bags

 Um, because I was in a position like a lot of people are, I was curious about Hammock Camping and wanted to give it a try. However, currently I feel like in the market there was a lot of confusion on what you need, what you don't need, and what was going to work best for each individual. Well, for me, Hammond Gear solved that problem with the Wonderlust Kit, which is what I purchased back in late September and decided to use it as my primary shelter on my Appalachian Trail section hike in October. Now, I don't know who what the first company was to put out a basically one and all kit, but I know that Hammock Gears caught my attention first for not only what was in the kit, but the price tag on the kit

 So it's definitely do your research and don't be afraid to try it. I waited too long. One of the things you're going to find out immediately with this system is that it does not take long at all to get comfortable, even if you've never hammock camped. I was worried about being uncomfortable with being in a hammock, but I adapted to it almost immediately and like I said, probably got what I would say was some of the best sleep I've ever gotten on trail in 20 plus years of backpacking

 hit that subscribe button. I'd love to have it be a part of my community. And until next time guys, remember to always hike your own hike.

Hammock Gear Wanderlust Kit (Real World Review!)

 So there's the same zipper system on the back side and this is the stuff sack that the hammock goes into and again, sort of similar to the hammock suspension or this, this daisy chain. this just clips on really quickly and easily. It's got these line locks there, just attention so no knots needed and really super easy to clip an unclip. No small fiddly hardware that's going to break or hard to handle with gloves

 It's very large and generous in size. It gives you lots of protection and one of the nice things about these tarps and what I do more mostly is if it's not actually raining on the air I don't think it's immediately gonna rain, actually. just take this tarp, leave those stakes out there and just throw it back like this. It's really easily deployable, but then I have all the views in operating area out here

 and I actually used quilts mostly to sleep on the ground. The next thing is going to be this: so that's the economy burrow top quilt in the hammock there and this is the economy incubator. bottom quilt. Both of these are +20 so they're they're gonna

 You can upgrade this kit and you can get a top quilt which is essentially the same as your sleeping bag and a bottom quilt which is the same as your sleeping pad or your NeoAir pad that you would use in a tent or sleep on the ground and have a complete set up including what they call your insulation. Or you could just use this with your traditional sleeping bag and ground pad. Not quite as good, but definitely doable. This hammock kit weighs about two and a half pounds
