I mostly backpack in Sierras, Rockies, and Cascades and I am looking to add a hammock for daytime chilling.
For straps, I am considering the Hummingbird versions which are the lightest and come in at two sizes
Weight (both straps): 1.55 oz (44 g)
Weight Rating: 400 lbs (181 kg)
Dimensions Packed: 4 x 2 x 1 in (10 x 5 x 3 cm)
Overall Length: 100 in (8 ft 4 in) (254 cm)
Webbing Length: 60 in (5 ft) (152 cm)
Whoopie Sling Length: 40 in (3 ft 4 in) (102 cm)
OR
Weight (both straps): 2.3 oz (65 g)
Weight Rating: 400 lbs (181 kg)
Dimensions Packed: 5 x 3.5 x 1 in (14.5 x 8.5 x 3 cm)
Overall Length: 152 in (12 ft 7 in) (386 cm)
Webbing Length: 120 in (10 ft) (305 cm)
Whoopie Sling Length: 40 in (3 ft 4 in) (102 cm)
Question is, based on the trees I am likely to encounter, is there any reason to get the bigger size? Keep in mind I am new to this. Thanks in advance for any replies.
