If it's anything like the standard blackbird you're gunna love it!!
Yea i have the standars but im hoping the xlc will give better views out as well as being a touch longer and wider. should be epic
Yeah I see there is any extra section of netting under zip (also on the new builds of standard BB) which gives you a better view

yea and the bugnet is removable too which will be handy in the colder months
That was one of the reasons I also quite like the woodsmanX design as the net has a full zip and net tucks away into little sack at gather.
Can't beat the shelf or foot box on blackbird though

Never believe the hype until one of us lot tries and tests it. Looking forward to your review bud and if you are waiting for the rain to stop I wont hold my breath.
I actually really like that hammock and tarp!! And at 2 kg it's fairly light too!! It is expensive but I may take a plunge on it!!

Why did I have to go and read this? I do not need another hammock or tarp and yet this is tempting, despite the steep price. It looks like a good and comfortable piece of kit and to have the whole set up weighing that little just adds to the appeal. I think I might wait until someone has tested it first and given their thoughts, impressions and feedback. That will be the grown-up thing to do...
If I had the money I'd go for it. But, luckily (depending on whom you ask), I don't...
Maybe I'll also go for the grown-up route.

I like its adaptability and all those neat little clips and tweakers to get versatile sits and lays But I'd miss the veiws from a trad hammock & tarp set up too much. I like to see the natural woodland fauna around me as I and they wake.... usually scratching their butts, yawning and taking a wazz

Looks an amazing bit of kit. Innovative design on the original hammock system. It certainly seemed a lot more comfortable than the classic hammock and was easy to erect (no fancy knots etc). I definitely liked the 'width' aspect of the design which eliminates the feeling of being cocooned , or entrapped, in a typical hammock which restricts movement when the sides pull tight against your body. Can accommodate a person up to 6' 5" tall (2 meters) and weighing up to 18.5 stone (120 kilos). Expensive, yes, but top quality outdoor gear is costly (Terra Nova products spring to mind). All in all, it would seem to be a vast improvement on hammock design, particularly for use when dwelling in the wild woods. Hats off! to the Norweigan science and design students who developed this brilliant innovation.
