Great entry level hammock! I bought this hammock on…

Rating: rated 4.5 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $40

Summary

Great entry level hammock!

Pros

  • Lightweight (cuts 3lbs of gear from my pack)
  • Mosquito-proof
  • Can be set-up in places tents can't go

Cons

  • Not a great cold-weather option, without extra (heavier) gear

I bought this hammock on a whim because it was on sale. It's a great entry level hammock for those curious about hammock camping, but not wanting to spend a fortune.

The mosquito netting gives me what I need from a full tent. Adding a rain fly protects from the element. The hammock and fly shaves nearly 3lbs off my pack, when you take into account tent, footprint, and pad.
