Warbonnet Blackbird Hammock


What do you guys think of the XLC version? With the removable mosquito/winter cover? Simply too much extra weight with no benefit or would you value the versatility of switching out the options to match the weather conditions?
Will there ever be a drop on this?
I have a Blackbird 1.7 and it is the best piece of gear I've ever had.
The shelf and footbox combo is amazing.
voted 1.1double layer and will definitely buy one if it drops! As will a buddy of mine! Would prefer the buckled suspension btw, not the whoopies, and I'd love to add in a tarp...
Double bottom is a MUCH better option because you can use a pad for insulation and it will stay in place. Double 1.1 vs. double 1.7 just depends on user weight; 1.1 for up to 175 lbs, 1.7 for over 175 lbs. We should have a choice of which to select at purchase time!

I'm 210lbs, even at my weight warbonnet advises the 1.1double.
Hey guys, I randomly met some of the development team of the AMOK earlier this year in India and had a chance to try it out *albeit for a short time. What really stood out was the fact that you lie flat regardless of the tension on the anchor points, which made lot of sense comfort-wise.
Do the Blackbirds stay flat, or do they 'banana' a bit as your lie in them.
Thanks : )

Amok looks to be one heck of a hammy would love to see this drop in price
I would vote for a single 1.7.
The assertion that 'most people' should be voting for the 1.1 is flawed unless you know the height and weight of 'most people' voting.

statisticly most people will fit a 1.1 double, so he's correct.

Statistically, the majority of people are between 125-225lbs. Height here is irrelevant.
FYI, most people should be voting on the Double-layer 1.1 (vs the DL 1.7) for the following reason:
150-175 LBS: Single 1.1, single 1.7 and double 1.1 Blackbirds or single or double layer RidgeRunner. In this weight range, you may notice a slight loss of flatness by going with the single 1.1 Blackbird, but you're still well within it's weight range and that can still be a great option if you're looking to cut a lot of packweight. In contrast, the single 1.7, and double 1.1 Blackbirds are going to provide maximum support and comfort for your weight, the double 1.7 Blackbird is overkill for you and you won't see any increase in comfort by stepping up to that model. Single or double layer RidgeRunner models are also appropriate for you.
175-200 LBS: Single 1.1, single 1.7, double 1.1 Blackbirds and single and double layer RidgeRunner. If going with the single 1.1 Blackbird you'll experience a noticeable loss of flatness and support due to stretch and it's only recommended if you're very concerned about packweight and willing to accept some tradeoff in comfort. Single 1.7, and double 1.1 Blackbirds will all give you maximum support and comfort. Double 1.7 Blackbird is overkill for you and you won't increase support or comfort by going that route. Single and double layer RidgeRunner is also appropriate for your weight.
200-225 LBS: Single 1.7, double 1.1, and double 1.7 Blackbirds or double layer RidgeRunner. Single 1.7 and Double 1.1 Blackbirds will provide you maximum support and comfort. You can also step up to the double 1.7 blackbird if you want but there will be little gain in comfort and support by doing so. Double layer RidgeRunner is appropriate for your weight as well.
