"The hammock is difficult to properly deploy - believe it or not. It works very well once set up. Despite what is said in literature it is not for people over 6' 2".

Worst part - I got soaked in a heavy downpour. Rain went right through the fly, then accumulated in the waterproof base! Terrible design."

"Love it. Can't sleep completely flat, but I can get pretty close. Super easy to set up, no rocks in your back, perfect for slopes or uneven terrain.

You WILL get cold underneath unless you adapt in some way. My solution--a trimmed-down $7 Walmart blue pad and some velcro."

"I love my Hennessey Hammock! It's great for summer use, nothing better than a hammock after a long day in the canoe. It can get a bit cold, however, so avoid using without some preparation. I use a "space blanket" underneath my bag when it's chilly outside."

"I used the Asym ONE TIME on a two-night backpack in the Smoky Mtns in mid-May. Night one it rained a bit with temperatures about 48 F. Slept very cold with my summer bag (rated to 20 F). Used a Therm-A-Rest in the tent with me and it slid all around, got bunched up, etc."

"Ok, as a gadget guy I have a tendency to try items that do not always impress. This is NOT one of those occasions. My first Hennessy hammock was the Scout, paid about a hundred bucks or so for it. I learned fast that reading all the information on a web site would be a great idea before purchasing an item for backcountry use! It was a little small for my build, I am over six feet tall!

While it was a little tight, I did sleep better than usual, there were no issues with looking for level ground, and that’s a Huge benefit when one hikes until the wee hours of the night! After a few months I treated myself with an upgrade!

The Explorer ASYM fits like a glove."

"I slept in this hammock every night for about a month on a university campus in the middle of a major Canadian city in December. I would have been much wetter and colder in a tent. However, I was never quite as comfortable in the hammock as I would have been if, all other things being equal, I had been able to lie flat."

"I have camped in tents for years. No longer! This hammock packs up and weighs less than almost any tent. Loads of room inside. I am 6'3 280lbs. Will hold my heavy a$$ no problem as long as you know a few simple knots.

I've actually set it up during the remnants of hurricanes in the backyard to test the water-proofness and if set up correctly, it won't leak."
