Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Byer of Maine Moskito Traveller Hammock weighs less than one pound. It features an attached storage bag for easy packing and transport on road trips. Fine mesh net protects you from biting buggers while you nap. Shock cords support the mesh, creating a roomy cocoon that's almost as large as a queen bed. Lie on it diagonally as they do in this hammock's country of origin, Brazil. This ensures proper support and maximum comfort. Simply flip the hammock over when you don't need the mosquito net protection. The attached 8- x 4-inch stuff sack is a great place to stash your flashlight and snacks, and it helps protect the hammock when not in use."

From REI:
"Byer Moskito Traveller Hammock offers a cocoon of comfortable, insect-free space. Fine mesh is supported by shockcord to keep it up and off your face and body; bottom is made of extremely strong and durable parachute nylon. If protective mesh is not needed, simply turn the hammock over and enjoy the Moskito as a regular Traveller. Attached storage bag doubles as a handy pouch for a flashlight, keys and more."

"This is one of the best camping hammocks available for the price. I purchased my hammock from REI. My husband cannot sleep on the ground because of back problems. This was the perfect answer! The hammock comes with a stuff sack and is VERY lightweight."

"A 3 is a well deserved rating. It stands halfway between perfect and, well, crap. As does the Moskito.

Every measure has been taken to cut weight - this thing is incredibly light, I will not lie. However, the construction does suffer. The 10 or 12 ropes "securing" the hammock to whatever is used to suspend it (hooks, tree straps, etc."
