This is what my 20 yr. old son hangs in and he loves it. He did ask me to make a new stuff sack for it as he dislikes the attached bag.

How tall is he

[PapaSmurf]

5'9" & 285ish. it's the only store bought hammock we have. Everything else has been DIY.

I've got one. Working on a review.

If you get one I recommend changing the ropes for saving weight and bulk. It also doesn't come with a tarp, so you would have to get one somewhere. You will also want to get tree straps which are sold separate as well.

It has a lot of functions of more expensive hammocks. But it is also bulky, and weighs a good bit if you plan to backpack the thing. But the net is very strong so you can flip it upside down and use it like a double layer in cold weather where the net is the second layer. It is a HUGE hammock on the inside, and used normally I've noticed some strtetch issues which I am still working through before I write my review.

Yeah, the net is strong. Flipped mine and was hanging upside down - in the net. It didn't tear, but I couldn't get out!

Of course my son running to get his camera didn't make things any better!
One of my favorite hammocks. Love the feel of it. Does need modifications like Sgt Rock mentioned, but who ever gets a hammock and not make changes anyway!

I have it and like it, but it stretches too much for me to sleep in it comfortably. I use it now just for afternoon hangs.

some of my best nights were in that hammock. I still have it in my sac of gear to grab if and when I want to use it again. The above mods are a must.

I agree the stuff sack could be bigger

I've had mine for two years and have never thought of using it upside down like a double layer, I flip it over when I first setup then flip again to put up the net before I turn in. Thanx for the tip Sgt Rock. Oh yeah I give it a thumbs up! especially for the money! Look on Amazon for a good deal.
