Sorry to hear that Hummingbird were shutdown due to IMO, ambulance chaser-type predatory Lawyers.
Good Luck in the future !

I ordered camping hammock what I received was thin and cheap. So I tried to look another website, the product that I purchase is easy to set up, well made and decently lightweight. Highly recommended. Onewindoutdoors

In reply to chadlangston. The hummingbird is light and thin. If anything it will feel cooler than the thicker ENO material. The hummingbird is a true parachute nylon material. It is all about weight savings. The dramatic difference in size and weight are the two main features. There may be some compromises for some folks but if you are looking for the lightest, most comfortable hammock, is it worth it?

In reply to Derek. I am 6'4" 200lbs. Really trying to get an idea how much I am going to dislike the plasticy feel and lay vs the soft tafetta nylon of the eno. What about warmth? Is the hummingbird warmer? Thank you Derek!

In reply to chadlangston. It's more a question of how heavy you are and how much the fabric will stretch for you. I sleep cozy in the hummingbird.

Great site Derek! Can you discuss the stretch aspect a bit more? I recently slept in an Eno double and slept like a baby. I was able to stay on the diagonal and even sleep on my side with my legs in fetal position. How will the Hummingbird fabric compare to the Eno? I am looking at the Hummingbird double as a way to drop my pack weight. But, it wouldn’t be worth bad sleep.

I loved my old grey BIAS WW.
I’d like to find a replacement.
I skipped the WW (now only in green).
Instead I’ve bought a WW micro. Of course the fabric is different. (Its little less “plastic” and a little less stretchy and it only comes in Camoflague.)
I haven’t really learned to love it.
I’m still looking for a long and light alternative to slot into the “go-to” hammock set up place that the WW micro doesn’t really fill.
The DD Hammock superlight looks to be a lot smaller but I’ll try it out and get back to you. (My Nano 7 died and the DD will hopefully fill that role.)

Any other tips for a long and light simple hammock?
