I have recently joined this forum and purchsed a DD Travel Hammock together with a HH Ultra Backpacking Aym to get the feel of things. My 7 year old son immidiately showed greater interest in the Travel Hammock I think because he liked the idea of the bugnet being unzippable. I intend to get a mod done on the HH but thats another issue.
The Travel Hammock's velcro were really mis -aligned. Being completetly ignorant to the who hammock experience I thought it was more by design to accomadate the sag of the hammock once it had weight inside it. However with a Thermarest placed between the two layers the velcro would not stay closed once my son got in the hammock.
Should I return it for a replacement or look at a discount?
One night trial in the garden in London UK over the weekend (I should imagine lows would be 55-60)
I found that my son was soaking wet from sweat with the Thermarest placed between the 2 layers whilst I was not like that at all just on top of a Prolite 3 short inside the HH.
Is the fact the Travel Hammock is claimed to be waterproof the issue here.
Feedback please
Thanks in advance
