Eno single or double nest for over 6ft
I'm about 6'2" 220lb. Should I get a double nest, or is a singlenest OK.
Double. I'm 6'3'' 250lbs. Used the double for three years. Love it.

Either is fine, but the double will give you more room to find a comfy lay no matter what size you are. You'll not regret the double if you are set on ENO.
I am also 6'-2", 220 pounds and use an ENO Single-Nest. Sometimes I feel like a human burrito at night and have to think a little extra wiggle room would be great. Go for the double.

Bears love people, they say we taste just like chicken.
I agree with the rest of these guys get a double I am 5'9" 165 and I have had my eno for about a year and the single is perfect for someone my size so deff go with the double.

I'd go Double Nest
Singlenest works fine for me and I'm about 6'3" 185lbs.

On the hammock and the straps it says Max weight 200 for a single nest then 400 or a double nest. But that is just a safety precaution and could probably and best bettingly hold more. I am only 120 pounds and have both single and double hammock and can say i enjoy the room the double provides for me and can't see me using my single hammock by choice.
There is also a few things you should do when sleeping in a hammock 1. hang the hammock higher as you will slowly sag down during . 2. tie the access rope into a knot around the rope hanging the hammock and leave a little bit hanging down ( rain water find the easiest route which will be to the hammock unless stopped other wise) 3 hang your backpack up on your hammock rope also rain goes under the hammock and will have a very wet backpack unless covered or is elivated.
Happy Hammocking
yes. double.
extra comfy
Ok Im sorry Im a noob at hammocks, but when you say double or single, do you mean like the actual size of the hammock ( L x W )? I am building my own hammock so I was just wondering...

Some doubles can get annoying with the extra material flapping near your face while you try and sleep while laying at a diagonal. But I'm 5' 8" or 9" and use a trek light double. I sewed on a custom tie out near my head to keep the flap out of my face.
