Thanks for the great review. I am hoping to get mine out of the backyard and onto the trail for the first time this weekend. I hadn't tried to stuff the entire thing into the built-in pocket with the Z-liner installed and had instead been using a compression sack. I think I'll give it a try just for giggles tonight.
I also was a little depressed about the size of the interior pockets. It seems that I wouldn't even be able to fit my iPod Classic into one of them. No big deal overall though. As seen in one of Shug's videos, you can just make a pocket out of no see-um netting. I am lazy, and don't have a sewing machine, so I bought these. They also seem to work really well and are also non-existent weight-wise. I just clip one off to my interior ridge line and it hangs up and out of the way. I had originally thought that having 2 would be overkill, but then realized that a Nalgene fits perfect into them so I can have water in one and my iPod, headlamp, watch, etc. in the other. They also completely pack up with the hammock as well so there's no need to detach them every time.
