Some will agree with you, likely, and some won't. The consensus opinion (sum of all reviews) should be a good guideline for the overall quality of the hammock.

edited to add - This is a perfect opportunity for you to use the 4sale section, Neo. I'm sure someone will take it off your hands, happily.

it to short if it was longer it would be a great hammck

. I'll buy your DD Neo. How much is a hammock that you give a rating of 1 to, $7. I have a hammock stretcher.

I'll give you $9 and pay for shipping. any more than that and you'll have to ship it at no extra charge.

I had to do some checking because I thought the Claytor and the DD Hammock were the same length, with the DD Hammock being a bit wider, so here's the facts:

Claytor Jungle:
Length: 300cm (9.84 ft)
Width: 125cm (4.01 ft)

DD Hammock:
Length: 2.7m (8.84 ft)
Width: 1.4m (4.59 ft)

So yes the Claytor is 1 foot longer than the DD but DD is still an almost 9 foot long hammock. That's bigger than I am used to but shorter than you normally use neo. The DD is about 6" wider than the Claytor. That says you can probably hang the hammock with a little more sag than you do with a Claytor and go more diagonal in the hammock.

I plan on doing a day hike Thursday so hopefully I will get a chance to play with the hammock.
