I wanted to take a minute to give a quick review of the Twisted Root Big Mozzi hammock I picked up on woot not too long ago for $30.

I wanted to compare it to the Yukon Outfitters mosquito hammock I got on woot last year since they look identical from the photos.
The biggest difference is the size. The Yukon outfitters hammock I have is 8'9" long which proved to be a little cramped for me. The Twisted Root is 10' long which ended up being much more comfortable for me (I'm 5'10")
Next is the material. The Twisted Root is a diamond ripstop that is thinner, lighter, and more comfortable than the Yukon. I found the material to be far superior in my opinion.
Third (and less important) is the suspension hardware. The Twisted root suspension is a thinner rope and a lighter aluminum carabiner than the steel screw lock D ring that comes with the Yokon. I changed out the suspension on mine for whoopie slings but the included suspension would be fine.
The final comparison (and probably least important) is the shock chord for the mosquito net. The length of the included shock chord for the Twisted Root mosquito net allowed me to go around the trees that I hang my hammock on even if they are quite far apart. The YO shock chord was only long enough to stretch to the suspension so the two halves of the net were close together leaving the middle to hang down near my face.
All this being said, I think it is a great value for a hammock with an integrated mosquito net.
I have tested it in my yard and took it out for a quick overnight on Saturday and it performed well and was very comfortable. I did add a ridgeline, but it is on the outside of the mosquito net.
