Pedalbike@Pedalbike,
Unfortunately we had to close down those polls as Hammock Gear does not have the capacity to work with us right now. Here's the update we gave those who participated in those polls:
Hi Everyone,
Thank you for your patience and participation in this poll. When we first reached out to Hammock Gear back in November, they responded very positively to the idea of listing their gear on Massdrop. We teed up two listings and put together product pages for each of those items. However in the months since that initial discussion, after many outbound emails and phone calls on our part trying to confirm those listings, communication with that vendor fell off. We did not hear back from them for weeks on end, despite our best efforts to keep the momentum going.
We finally heard back from Hammock Gear this morning. Unfortunately it seems due to capacity constraints that we will not be able to do a listing with them anytime in the near future. Please see below for their response:
"We have been overwhelmed with orders this season and have been unable to focus on the projects we have pending. We hope to work with you again in the future. Thank you!"
As such, we will be closing down this poll. We hope to keep the lines of communication open with HG and potentially pick things back up where they left off when things are less busy for them.
Thanks for all the continued support and keep posting polls for awesome gear :)

torymullerMassdrop, you'll need to contact most of these "ultralight" vendors during their low season which is somewhere between October and February. If you ask them to discount their products in spring when their typical clients are gearing up for the backpacking season they won't have the same interest in joining a drop. Just some FYI.
