    Very heavy, cant realistically use a tarp with it, Looks like the footbox would be a moisture trap.

My hammock used a short pad under my legs and had down insulation built into the torso area, so it was lighter, but it required a more complicated suspension to keep it extended. (It's a work-in-progress which I will get back to some day.)https://www.hammockforums.net/galler...hp?i=17328&c=4
    The demo video on the web site confirms these two pieces. It comes with a tarp, which looks to be fairly specialized for the hammock. The perpendicular orientation of the hammock makes even the included tarp seem to have some coverage issues. Also, it does look to need the pad, although it's tough to know for sure.

    While I don't think I'll try it, it does seem like it could work for some. I'm also a big fan of the innovative ideas. Good stuff.

    Very cool, but $400 is too much. Gonna have to stick with the bridge hammock.

    I was thinking the same thing. It seems very nice and well thought. It is very euro.
