I wasn't really looking for another hammock (ya right) but someone posted that Woot had these for $20 so I figured I'd give it a shot, since they sell for $65 on Amazon.
The hammock is 11'6 long and 6'4" wide, which may be my least favorite feature. They call the material "high-stretch" parachute nylon and they aren't kidding. This stuff is streeeeeeeeeetchy!!!!!!!
It is almost the same size as my WBBB XLC so I set it up with my turtledog stand at the same height, and found myself laying on the floor when I got in due to the stretch. Overall, its actually a very comfortable hammock once you figure out how high to hang it. I ended up hanging it at about 40 degrees instead of the normal 30 to find the sweet spot. The biggest drawback I can see, is that it is so wide, all of the floppy material is all over you and you can't get away from it. This is one hammock that could really use the Knotty mod to get rid of all the extra fabric that comes with a 6'4" wide hammock.
The other thing I did was get rid of the junk suspension and put an Amsteel continuous loop through the end to replace it.
All in all for $20 its hard to say its not a great buy!! I put it right square in the middle of my Eno single and my WBBB XLC. Definitely something I'll use in the back yard, and take along with me on campouts for a place for people to crash and see if they like to hammock.
