The Blackbird XLC body is about roughly 132″x 63″ with an overall length ridgeline length of 111 which gives you about 11 inches of tarp overlap at each end of the hammock if using an eleven foot tarp. The XLC is rated for a user up to 7’0. The XLC features one continuous zipper that runs the perimeter of the hammock body, The XLC is converted into a simple Traveler-style hammock by simply removing the zippered top anytime it’s not needed. XLC includes the very popular storage shelf and footbox. The storage shelf is aprox. 2 square feet in size and great for small and med sized items (pair of shoes, water bottle, glasses etc). The XLC also includes a footbox which allows the user to fully use/extend the hammock fabric in the foot area without restriction from the netting, the result is maximum leg room. The hammock can be setup on the ground as a bug bivy if needed, just be sure to use a ground cloth to protect the bottom of the hammock from water and abrasion. The XLC comes with 2 elastic lines, one on each side of the hammock, these are used mainly to pull the netting out and away from the user, and to support the shelf, you can fully remove or leave these cords un-staked whenever it’s convenient, they are not required to use the hammock. We stock the olive color. Weight capacity: 400 LBS. Item weight (webbing/buckles): 2 lb. Fabric: 1.7oz/70D Nylon (x2). We stock the Warbonnet Hammock Blackbird XLC in the 2 layer 1.7 version. It will fit someone up to 7 tall and rated to 400 pounds. We were introduced to this by our serious Bushcraft friends. When they arrived, we were impressed right out of the bag. Hammock camping instead of a tent has it’s advantages especially if you are using it for a bug out situation. Incidents such as flooding and dealing with uneven ground are just a few. Poles break and tents are useless without them. There are tons of features on this hammock. It is a lay flat, lightweight design making it more comfortable even for tall people. Immediately, we saw the quality and durability of this hammock. This is a “full sleeping system” hammock and not made to be a basic weekend napper. The 2 layers are strong and complete with a shelf for storing some gear. It’s easy to get into and easy to set up. The blackbird XLC top is a bug mesh and it zips off so that you can add a top cover for winter camping. The optional top cover makes is about 15 degrees warmer is made of breathable fabric. It is water resistant but not waterproof so you will still need a tarp. If you hammock camp you know that hammocks are traditionally colder since you have air flow on the bottom as well as the top. We use the web and buckle attachment system. The hammock comes with elastic side-guylines, built-in bug netting, storage-shelf, footbox, and stuff-sac. You will need 550 cord and using Carabiners can make it more simple to set up. We also suggest using the superfly as the best tarp system and is the right size for this hammock. Available options NOT INCLUDED. The top cover will add about 15 degrees of warmth and is made of breathable material. Like the hammock fabric itself, the top cover made of breathable fabric that has a DWR water “resistant” treatment, it will shed light moisture, but is not waterproof and is not a replacement for a tarp. The XLC is available in several fabric types and also with a single layer body or a double layer body, the double layer increases the weight capacity and is also recommended for anybody using a pad as bottom insulation, you place the pad between the 2 layers which helps hold the pad in place and keeps it from sliding around.
