Too heavy for me. Nice for base camp/car camping, though.

at first I looked at the pictures and I only saw the eno lookalike set up but the video did it justice. made everything look alot better. Nice video, I was bummed when I read the page and it said a hammock is not included haha. I was going to say that would be a sweet deal.

Not much of a review really...but I like the inside view. It looks like the bug net is integral to the tarp. Heavy as all get out.

Neat twist on the screen room.

I see that net getting soaked in a rain and then the wind blowing the water around inside.
Looks like a suspended bivy tent.

I have had my sky tent for a little over a month, and it is really great. I say that like I still get to use it. I took it on a trip for a week and as long as it got below 90 deg at night, I was not too hot. Too hot to nap in during the day in AZ in the summer.
What I really like about it is that all my gear is inside with me, shoes and all. I also like that I am not touching mesh at all and the pockets are far enough away that my book and light don't hit me in the night.
As I mentioned at the beginning, I do not get to use this, my wife took it over, She loves it. It gives her some greater sense of comfort than any of my other set ups. I actually could never get her to sleep the night in a hammock before the Sky Tent. All I want to do to it is put another pair of cinch holes in it so that we can sleep two in it. This will make the 45 oz very doable and help when there are no great tree choices.
As for getting wet, I have only been in light rain and it did fine. I could see setting the hammock higher in the fly for big rain with wind and set the fly at a steeper angle to cover more. When it is perfect out except for the bugs, I tie one side of the fly up as high as the ridge or better and get a great breeze and better view.
I will post some pictures after my next trip. Hopefully with the double set up.
