Summary

Great compact and well built hammock for lounging or switching over to the world of Hammock Camping.

Pros

Very comfortable
Compact
Good quality

Cons

Suspension straps from Eagles Nest stretch
Suspension is heavy

When switching over from Tent Camping to Hammock Camping I found that the Eagles Nest Outfitters Doublenest gave me plenty of room for a good Diagonal flat Lay (I am 6ft tall and 260lbs.) It is very compact and stores in its own attached stuff sack.

I originally purchased the Slap Straps from ENO and was happy with the easy setup, but the nylon straps stretch (they have a new set of straps that are better from what I have heard throughout the hammock camping forums (hammockforums.net) I personally have changed to a different lighter set up.

I used this hammock along a 150 mile section of the AT last year and Loved IT.

Do some research if you are interested in ditching your tent, but this is also great for just lounging around in.
