Just got mine in the mail over the weekend from Zilla and replaced the suspension with whoopies. Weight before modification: 24 oz. Weight after: 20.30 oz. I'd say that's not bad for including a net. This hammock is for my wife and we are gonna go test it out when she gets out of work at around 4. I'll try to put up some pictures.

Nice! I got one of these hammocks from the HF Secret Santa last year, and I'm really happy with it. I took it on a couple overnighters, and then I gave it to my son for his birthday since he just joined Boy Scouts. I hope your wife enjoys it.
- We're never going to survive this!!
- Nonsense. You only say that because no one ever has.
We took it out to the park for a test hang, got it at about 37 degrees hang angle, and she wouldn't get up so I could adjust it. I think she likes it. I've got a picture of her in it on my phone and I'll put that up later. She also wouldn't let me get the mosquito netting up in time for us to take pictures before we had to go, but it went up great, and I think it will work well for her. I think I will be putting in a ridgeline. I think I saw other people trying to figure out how to do it, but it looks like I should be able to string it up under the netting and through the ends. Not sure if anyone else has tried that, or if it doesn't work, but that will happen this weekend.

I know she's more at like 45 degrees or so here, but that was the first lay before I did adjustments. Couldn't get her out enough to do full adjustments, but she was comfortable at 37 degrees where we ended up.

Dang, I ordered two of these from Woot a year or so ago, but they ran out or something and never shipped (got refunded instead). I was kind of bummed, so I was hoping they were actually junk...oh well, enjoy.
