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.

Hammock Life

r/CampingandHiking

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??

amazon.com

The Explorer Deluxe XL is a rugged, larger hammock designed for anyone up to 213 cm and 135 kg with durable bottom fabric, ropes and webbing straps. A larger rainfly to provide excellent coverage and protection. Because it's a "one size fits all" solution, this very versatile model is preferred by law enforcement, fire fighters, smoke jumpers, soldiers and defense organizations. Choose from the Classic bottom entry or Zip side entry. The Classic model has an ingenious entrance through the bottom that snaps closed automatically under the weight of your body and seals with velcro. Mosquitos can’t figure out how you disappeared standing outside your hammock and magically reappeared lying comfortably inside. The Zip model has a side entrance with a full length heavy duty YKK zipper and two double sliders; mesh can be pulled back and secured with an elastic so you can watch the stars. The Jungle Explorer Zip XL has a double layer bottom with 40 denier nylon for greater mosquito protection and to hold the Radiant Heat Reflecting Double Bubble Pad between the layers and on the correct diagonal. One of the nicest things about the Jungle models is to climb into your hammock with your sleeping bag and not have to think about keeping an insulation pad from moving around under you during the night. NOTE: The double bottom jungle models are designed for temperatures down to 40*F / 4*C. when used with the accessory Double Bubble Heat Reflecting Pad. If you are planning to use a hammock in colder temperatures, we recommend a single bottom hammock with the accessory SuperShelter 4 Season System or one of our 4 Season hammock models as a more flexible choice because additional insulating materials can be added as needed. The Explorer has an asymmetrical shape, which provides exceptional comfort when lying on the diagonal, and a structural ridgeline which ensures the exact same bed every night and a perfect setup every time.

Wirecutter

Crafted from resilient material, the Explorer Ultralight Asym Classic features a bottom entry that uses Velcro to shut on its own.

Trail And Mountain

Hennessy Hammock

 Two inches wide. You need that width to support the weight of the person in the hammock to protect the trees so always bring your webbing straps and put them up and remember to leave no trace.

 It's really good in the disappearing in the forest at night. So I said 70 denier. It's got a very nice seam sealing on all the seams. It's got a 3000 millimeter coating so it's really good in waterproof

Hennessy Hammock  EXPLORER DELUXE ASYM CLASSIC

 Okay so this is the Explorer Deluxe ASIM Classic. Classic means it has the bottom entry

 with the velcro seal. It's good for anybody up to 300 pounds and seven feet tall.

 And it weighs three pounds two ounces. Here's the fabric for the Explorer Deluxe. It's a

 very tough 140 denier nylon. It's called high density so I can't even see anything

 through this fabric. It's extremely tough. It's a single bottom hammock of course

 and it has the the velcro on the bottom which opens when you get in but when you pull your

 feet up it snaps closed and the velcro seals. The mesh on this model is also very tough.

 It's a 30 denier mesh. I mean it's really good stuff and the fly is over here. This is a 70 denier

 polyester. It's also this same we call it coyote brown but it's got a bit of olive in it too. It's

 really good in the disappearing in the forest at night. So I said 70 denier. It's got a very nice

 seam sealing on all the seams. It's got a 3000 millimeter coating so it's really good in waterproof.

 And then the ropes. The ropes on this one since it's a 300 pound

 weight limit has 1800 pound test polyester ropes. Make sure the ropes are always six times stronger

 than the hammock you buy and because you want to get years and years of wear out of the hammock so

 that's why you need that margin. Now the webbing straps for this model are also heavy duty

 so they're a more than 1800 pound test. Two inches wide. You need that width to support

 the weight of the person in the hammock to protect the trees so always bring your

 webbing straps and put them up and remember to leave no trace.

 You want this, you want this width for the strength and also to protect the tree. So always remember to use your webbing straps and remember leave no trace.

 It's a 70 denier fabric. It's really, really lasts. The mesh, the mesh on this, it's an Ultralight as the 20 denier mesh, which is really, really nice stuff. Now because it's a, because it's the classic, the bottom entry, it's got the the Velcro sealed entrance

 The mesh, the mesh on this, it's an Ultralight as the 20 denier mesh, which is really, really nice stuff. Now because it's a, because it's the classic, the bottom entry, it's got the the Velcro sealed entrance. So, so we pull apart the Velcro and then when you hop in it snaps closed and automatically Velcro automatically seals. The, the ropes, the ropes on the Ultralight are also nice

Hennessy Hammock   EXPLORER ULTRALITE ASYM CLASSIC

 Okay, this is the Ultralight Explorer ASIM Classic. So the classic means that

 it has the classic entry through the bottom with the Velcro closure.

 It's Explorer Ultralight has a 250 pound weight limit, so and it's also good for

 anybody up to seven feet tall. So let me show you the fabric on the

 Explorer Ultralight. This is the same fabric as the Ultralight backpacker. It's

 got a nice little bit of stretch to it. It's a 70 denier fabric. It's really,

 really lasts. The mesh, the mesh on this, it's an Ultralight as the 20 denier mesh,

 which is really, really nice stuff. Now because it's a, because it's the classic,

 the bottom entry, it's got the the Velcro sealed entrance. So, so we pull apart the

 Velcro and then when you hop in it snaps closed and automatically Velcro

 automatically seals. The, the ropes, the ropes on the Ultralight are also nice.
