The Expedition at 2.5# is rated for 250#, the Ultra lite @ 1.5# is rated for
200#, If you want lots of room and comfort the Safari Ultralite @2.5# is
rated for 250#, the Safari Deluxe.0  @ 3# is rated for 350#.
We use the Hennessy hammocks for all of our camping (in weather a tent would
do). I weigh about 300# and have spent over a dozen nights in a Hennessy
Original, but my normal personal hammock is the Safari Deluxe. In my Safari
I even take my pack into the Hammock with me. I now have over 70 nights on
my Safari, the only signs of wear is soft wood pitch on the straps and a
tiny bit of fraying on the straps( but you have to look really close to see
it).
