Beyond that, Ed Speer is a quality human who has gone well above and beyond the call of duty to promote and support our recreation activity and we should be happy to pay twice the price just to keep him in the game.
    That sold me. I just placed my order.

    ^^^That was Sunday. Wednesday night I was in my new Speer hammock watching the Perseid meteor shower. Great show, great weather, great service!

    Thank you, Ed.

    I have a Speer hammock with bugnet. It's meant for someone 6'5" tall, so it's a bit big for me and I've been thinking of selling it, since I tend to collect hammocks. But after this thread, I'm enlightened.

    Glad I read this thread. So glad.
    Researching UQs.
    Thinking that the top of the wishlist item, the SnugFit was out of the budget.

    Reading this thread, the many comments about the Speer's quality, service and the company,
    brought my father's voice to my ears : buy quality and support locally (USA in this case ).
    We will get the SnugFit soon.

    Once again : thank you all for the shared information.
