Single size. Not Nano. Not UL. Not SB

GT sells a nominal $49.95 "single" nylon hammock in a number of colors. An illustration shows what look like 7" loops or straps from each channel attached to the included carabiners.

Does it come that way, with those loops through the channel?

Is the great 10.5 foot length, that of the fabric bed or out to the 'biners?

BTW, what do I know about 'biners, but the ones with Nano seem to be same as sold with best price of $5@ elsewhere, smooth, and properly rated. Climbers may sneer. But the gate action and finish seem good to me.

PIF (Paying information forward): The Nano comes with the 'biners already in the channels. No extensions. I like the Nano.

I just bought a GT single. It came with that cord in the channel and the biners. My hammock fabric is 118 inches long. So the 10.5 must be with the biners. I replaced mine with whoopee slings so I can't measure the original length.

Thanks. The cord is shorter than it looked to me; but the important thing is that there's just 2" shy of a full ten feet. Nice.

What do you like about it, and, if you're in weight weeniish mood and capacity, what does just the hammock weigh?

Single piece of fabric for the bed, or augmented on the sides?
So many GT models, it gets confusing.

I like that its a nice simple backyard hammock that I got for $37 on sale. I don't backpack so I don't know what it weighs by itself. It has three pieces of fabric, one main piece and two narrow side panels. The stitching for the panels doesn't bother me at all but I'm not trying to sleep overnight in it.
