Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"This 3-season, solo shelter is the latest in lightweight, inexpensive and comfortable shelters for ounce-conscious hikers! New asymmetric shape of hammock bed improves comfort and asymmetric shape of rainfly improves coverage. Hammock also functions as a chair/lounger, or with a pair of hiking poles it functions as a tent. Patented "easy entry" is through the bottom; automatically snaps shut behind you as your weight tensions the entrance with VELCRO brand closure. Integral ridgeline design holds a comfortable shape each time the hammock is set up; keeps your back straight and level when resting diagonally. No-see-um mesh canopy keeps the bugs away while allowing air circulation. Gear pocket suspended from ridgeline holds small personal items. Waterproof, asymmetric silnylon rainfly can be adjusted at any angle for weather protection, can be rolled up or completely removed for separate use. Support ropes are lightweight polyester-covered Spectra cord. Low-impact, environmentally-friendly design requires no ground leveling, trenching or staking; webbing straps protect tree bark. Floor dimensions: 108 x 48 inches diagonally; weight capacity: 200 lbs."

From EMS:
"Lighten your load by 5 to 7 pounds with this camping hammock. It replaces a tent and eliminates the need for a sleeping pad -- and sets up in 3 minutes. 70D high-tenacity hammock fabric (170 x 90 high-count nylon) is lightweight and strong. 20D polyester no-see-um netting provides excellent bug protection and ventilation. Waterproof 1.1-ounce 30D silicone nylon canopy can be tilted to any angle, rolled up above, or removed. Ten-foot-long 1,450-pound-test Spectra-reinforced ropes with polyester cover; 1 x 42-inch tree-hugger straps protect tree from rope burns. Packed size: 5 x 10 inches; setup size: 5 x 10 feet; ridgeline length: 100 inches. Sleeps 1 person; weight capacity: 200 pounds; height limit: 6 feet."

"I love my hammock. Best sleep on the trail comes in a hammock. Only problem is you can't curl up next to your significant other in a hammock."

"I found this product by searching for a bivy sac on the web. I liked the idea and the price so I ordered one over the internet.

I spent two rainy nights in the Catskills and it workded like a dream. I loved the way you can tie off the hammock to one side and use the fly as a cooking shelter."
