    In the words of the late John Denver "Far Out"

    I came across these hammocks on another site. Made from seat belt material.

    There's no excuse for laziness...

    but, if you find one, let me know.

    For when you want to be safe in a hammock collision at highway speeds.

    Those are some good-looking hammocks! I bet they would be pretty comfortable too, as long as you're not backpacking them!

    It would be interesting to see a 'user test' over multiple days. Those 'spreaders' don't seem to be rigged to do the job of keeping the ends from 'gathering', but it's hard to tell. They also look a bit tippy, but they may be larger than they seem.

    Woven strap construction can be comfortable if it's tensioned properly. I've spent a lot of nights on beds with woven (cotton) strap construction in India - cool and comfy...though not as nice as traditional woven rope beds a.k.a. 'charpoys'. But the side-to-side tensioning is important.
