Which model is right for me: the North American, Tropical or UltraLight ?
When selecting the model you need, start by thinking about the type of camping you plan to do. If you ever plan to camp in cold weather (50° F / 10° C or lower), then we recommend the North American model since it offers cold-weather features to keep you warm. The North American also does well in warm temperatures. If you plan to camp in only warm climates, you should know that the Tropical offers warm-weather features in a lighter package than the North American. Decide if you need the WeatherShield feature (standard on North American models and optional on Tropical models). The breathable, water resistant WeatherShield offers three main benefits. First, it encloses the hammock to provide warmth in cold weather. Second, it offers extra protection from wind and blowing rain that might sneak up under the rain fly. You can even zip it up on only one side as a windbreak. Third, the WeatherShield offers privacy by creating a true tent. Consider how you will use the large pockets underneath
