Having Purchased the original Blackbird (dl 1.1) from Brandon about 2 years ago (it goes with me everywhere), it was time to add a second one to my collection; when i saw the redesign, i thought immediately more
airflow coming
through, better visibility; living in South Florida, this will make a great Hammock to be used in those warm, hot, humid days.This one i got in dl 1.7, this fabric feels so soft, the extra foot makes this Blackbird even more roomier; i'm 6» 2 and have plenty
of room in my original already.Well built as always.Thank you Brandon.
