    Good review - it comes with the full suspension kit, so I'd say its worth the extra. Also, can be bought for less than rrp at a few places.

      Thanks for watching Stewart! Yes, you’re right, price difference is due to the whoopie sling system… great little hammock this

    Interesting Ash. I've had a standard Frontline since last Autumn, and love it, but I wanted another for my son and for lighter trips as I was surprised at the big pack size of the standard. I went for the normal Superlight hammock with the seperate bugnet, and the same coyote brown light tarp as you use here. Packs up tiny, but the bugnet is an inch from your face on a ridgeline so it's not as palatial as a frontline. What you have here seems an ideal compromise - although if it is the same material as the normal Frontline, only single layer, the price hike is puzzling... anyway, good watch as usual. Cheers. Rich. (EDIT : just thought, your one comes with the Whoopie slings and carabiners as standard, wheras the heavier Frontline doesn't. I bought them extra for mine, and I'm sure it was a bout 40 quid in the end, so maybe that alone justifies the price difference..?)

      Ah you’re probably right there mate, didn’t even think of that! Yes, my other frontline came with the webbing! 😂 I’ll have to do another video! 😂😂
      It’s a great hammock, I think if you didn’t have the poles in the the bag and put it in a compression or roll top bag it would pack down really small!!
      Yes, I have the standard superlight for winter when I don’t need the bug net, it’s literally the size of my fist packed up!
      Thanks again for watching rich, much appreciated mate 👍🏼

    I've always thought that the original frontline spreaders are a little bit short and makes it feel a bit confined in the hammock. Honest review dude.

    Tie the net to the ridge line with a prussic loop, keeps it high and taught, im using the a frontilne from 2 years ago and this is what i do, also set your ridgeline and tarp higher so you can stand up under it, your back will thank you.

    They’re such a popular brand, I borrowed a frontline once and wasn’t a big fan. Maybe it was the way I hung it but I ended up sleeping on the floor under it.
    Does seem expensive, but everything in the super lightweight category does. It’s like slapping the word organic in front of a potato. You can double the price.
    I have a different brand of hammock and sleep fine in that. Horses for courses I suppose.
    Take it easy bud 👍
