I'm sad to say that after 5+ years of hanging, I'm just about ready to go back to the ground.
The issue isn't the comfort, it's the WIND.
I live in an area that where there's a limited number of hangin trees so I don't always have a lot of options in terms of wind protection and site selection. My last trip was about the last straw. I had my HG Winter Palace absolutely battened down - doors closed, side pulls tied out, and two trekking poles propped against the walls - and I still felt like the wind was going to shred it to pieces all night long. The sound of tarp edges flapping and my hammock tossing back and forth yet again destroyed what should have been an incredible nights sleep. Unfortunately, this happens way too often in my hiking areas.....so..... it pains me to say that I'm just about ready to give it up.
Bummed hanger.
