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.
