The Voyageur combines the simplicity of a traditional netless gathered-end hammock with integrated triangular hoods inspired by the Trail Lair.
The hoods spread the fabric at each end of the hammock, helping reduce calf ridge and improve comfort. They also create convenient storage areas near each end. Their effect is most noticeable with standard-width fabrics, as wider fabrics naturally provide additional room.
The Voyageur supports either diagonal lay, with accessory locations configurable for your preferred sleeping direction.

I am very pleased with my Voyageur hammock from SLD. Jared was very responsive to my request and order, and helpful in getting me ready for a camping trip. The quality and ability to customize the hammock to meet my needs was a selling point in my order. I have plans to order another hammock for my son and look forward to many years doing business with SLD. Thanks for keeping me hanging comfortably!
Ordered a 11" X 64" Voyageur in Hexon Wide 1.6 with a peak shelf. Workmanship is flawless. Have used it for 13 day trip outings and expect to use it for some overnights soon in the Tonto and Coronado National Forests.
First of all, Jared's quality of customer service, his shipping/lead times, and craftsmanship are worth they're own 5 star review. But to focus on this hammock, I got a 10' Hexon 1.6 Moroccan Blue, with the head end peak shelf and sewn-in continuous loops. I've been trying a few different hammocks, and I could never get a comfortable lay. Either the walls were too high, or the calf ridge was annoying, or there was shoulder squeeze. With the voyageur, it was immediately the perfect fit as soon as I sat in it. I had never been that comfortable in a gathered end hammock before, but this one seemed to fit the bill for me. I had my ridgeline set at 83%, and I actually preferred keeping the head and foot ends tied at the same height. I could get as flat a lay as I've ever been able to get, and it felt roomy and very comfortable. The color is beautiful; it's muted so it doesn't stand out too much, but it's still a really nice shade of blue. Plus, the material feels so nice to lay in and there's almost no stretch. The peak shelf is definitely worth it if you can afford to add it on, you'll find something or another to put in it. All-in-all, I loved this hammock so much I felt compelled to write a review which I've never actually done before.
I had such a great experience with my trail lair that i purchased this hammock for the man cave.
They say lightning can't strike 2xs in the same place...but at simply light designs it happens.
This is not even close to how wide my trail lair is but yet ..somehow ..i actually get a flat...flat lay..no shoulder sqeeze at all!
For reference mine is made from 1.3 ripstop. I did not opt for the peak shelves.
For the minimalist this hammock will achieve comfort & a great lay at lighter weight.
