The revised Blackbird XLC hammock is available in single- and double-layer configurations with your choice of suspension, much like the original version. To enable you to quickly add any aftermarket suspension of your choosing, we currently offer it with our well-liked webbing/buckle suspension, our weight-saving whoopie sling suspension, or with nothing but continuous loops. We also replaced the inconvenient plastic toggle at the top of the canopy with a micro carabiner for convenience's sake. Like before, it also includes a double-ended stuff sack with a red identifying cord at one end to make it simple to know which end of the hammock you are holding.
The new XLC has a zipper that runs the full length of both sides of the hammock body, just like the first-generation models did, but the new arrangement enables the hammock to be completely unzipped across its entire length. The user can easily enter or depart the hammock on any side they like this way. The top piece can be completely removed, just like the original model, and stored at home when not in use. The new XLC offers the same foot box for optimum legroom as well as a conveniently placed storage shelf that provides around 2 square feet of easily accessible internal storage space.
The improved zipper design on the new model allows the user to easily remove the top, turn it inside out, and reconfigure the hammock as a reverse lay model, with the head right and feet left instead of the standard-lay, head left / feet right arrangement. The updated zipper also makes it possible to buy add-on accessories in the future, allowing you to develop and customize your hammock system as you go.
The new XLC includes an optional top cover, just like the older model. Like before, top covers are constructed of permeable, wind- and water-resistant fabric and are frequently used in cooler weather to block the wind and trap a little more heat. Two built-in air vents, one in the peak at the foot end and the other between the tie-outs, which also serve as a window with a broad field of view, are new additions to the top cover, along with a new, lighter-weight fabric.
The 2/3-length Yeti and our full-length Wooki are two of our underquilt styles that work with the XLC just as previously. Anyone wishing to update their bottom insulation FROM a sleeping pad to something more pleasant may consider one of these underquilts. The new XLC now offers an underquilt protector for individuals who wish to give their hammock even more wind and weather protection. In cooler weather, an underquilt protector enables the user to completely shield the bottom of their hammock from the wind without using a full-sized winter tarp. Ours fastens with a straightforward shoestring tie at each end, but it can also be zipped up to the top cover to create a full-on winter sock that seals off your hammock and all of your insulation inside its own breathable, wind- and water-resistant microclimate.
Finally, the XLC works with all of our models of lightweight tarps. Therefore, if you want to save weight, top it all off with the MiniFly, the SuperFly, or the ThunderFly, depending on your coverage needs. Warbonnet has you covered no matter when or where you go hammocking.
