This is a very comfortable hammock that is extremely lightweight, and packs to a small 7"L x 7"W x 3.5"H. This hammock gets mixed reviews but as a avid hiker it performs very well. I live in Florida so this is a plus for bug protection. Very easy to hang, very easy to get in and out of. You can add a sleeping pad inside if you must.

I weigh about 160 lbs and it supports me with no problem. I know guys at 250 lbs using this with no problem but maybe a little stretch as all nylon hammock do.

I would recommend this hammock as a starter hammock, or to an avid hammock camper. It comes nestled in its own pouch attached to the hammock. You can store a bottle of water and some gear in this pouch. It also has two other pouches stitched inside the hammock on the mesh for other gear. It comes with a suspension rope/guy line for the netting.

There is no hanging kit for the hammock itself but that is no a big deal. Go to a hardware store, or order a slap strap, micro rope hanging kit, etc. I use a tarp over this as my tent. Also waterproof the hammock with Sno Seal Silicone Water-Guard or other brands. Now you have a factory silicone nylon protected hammock and tarp.
