What do you guys think about the Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter Pro ?
My 1st hammock. For the price is this good or are there other options?
Thanks

I am new to this as well and this is the one I decided on. It arrived this week and I had the chance to hang it up briefly and was amazed at how comfortable it is and how easy it is to set up. I can't wait to get it outside in the woods and give it a try.
I had seen one before last summer and the guy using it loves his as well.
IMO it's a tad short for me @ 5'10". But it is inexpensive and reasonably comfortable. I would recommend it given the height limitations.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

It's my go to summer hammock. I'm 6'1" and 265 and it is extremely comfortable for me. Wider than my GT single so it allows me a flatter lay.
I am 6', 165lbs,,and have laid and used my wifes a few nites...very comfy and soft feeling. Stretchy and that makes it comfy. I sleep very good in it.

I'm new to this, and went with the SB Pro because of the price, and also because enough people have them that you can find threads about using /modifying them.
Haven't slept in it yet, but finally got around to hanging it yesterday. Seems fine. Finally know what people mean by calf-ridge pressure and shoulder squeeze - I'm going to have to adjust the sag to see if I can alleviate those issues.
The bug net is certainly in the way. I'll probably make holes in either end of it to run my ARL through, to get it off my face.
The SB Pro isn't the smallest, lightest rig around, but my whole setup is geared more toward car camping so I don't mind.
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test that it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
It's my backup / loaner hammock. Love it, plus it's a GREAT first hammock. Do change the suspension ASAP though, the provided one is short & very hard on trees. That is if they are still supplying the rope suspension.
When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.

Had the SB regular, but it just didn't feel right no matter how much I messed with it. Got the PRO edition and it is great, guess i'm just too tall.
