Review on Portable Double Camping Hammock With Net And Straps - Ideal For Outdoor Hiking, Survival, And Travel - Fits Two Persons, Sunyear Brand by David Foster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very nice but beware of hammock width vs. your height

This is actually quite a nice hammock for the money. It comes with everything you need to set it up quickly (2 carabiners, 2 1" wide tree straps, 2 stringers) and start lounging in comfort. It has triple stitching on the body seams, and double stitching on the seams where the bug net attaches to the hammock. Yes, it has a bug net! You can lie in it, like any other hammock, OR you can flip it over and use it with the attached net. It includes two stringer lines to let you raise the net above you. The net has a double zipper, on one side of the hammock, and is permanently stitched to the opposite side, allowing entry from the one side. I haven't tested it, yet, but the size of the netting looks to be small enough to keep out most all of the bugs that might annoy/bite you.It also has two pockets. One large pocket (that is actually the carry bag) on the outside, that is large enough to stash maybe three 1 liter water bottles, or items of equivalent size, and one smaller pocket, inside the bug net, that is big enough for a phone, a single 1 liter water bottle, or any smaller items. The only downside, for me, is that I mistakenly ordered the single size (55" wide) hammock, instead of the double size. I am just under 5'8" and I really wish I had ordered correctly. While I AM able to lie at an angle across the width of the hammock, I feel that the double size would allow me to lie a little flatter and more comfortably. Again, this is my own fault for not paying attention when I placed the order. If you're shorter than 5'8", the single width may be fine for you. Just my personal preference.Also, I don't feel that this single width hammock would leave you enough room to comfortably use with a sleeping pad. You might be better off with the double wide for that. Other than that, this is a rather nice hammock. It feels sturdy, looks nice, and is WAY more comfortable to lie in, than not. Especially when you can lie in the shade, gently swinging in the breeze!If you're looking for your first hammock, or simply a decent quality hammock at a low price, I don't think you could go wrong with this one.EDIT: With regard to my comments about the width of the hammock and my own, personal comfort - after using this hammock EVERY DAY since my review, I have absolutely gotten used to the size and have made adjustment to the angle at which I hang it. I now have no problem lying in this hammock for hours on end, in absolute comfort.EDIT - 6/18/22 - Have probably used this hammock 200+ times and it is still in great shape. No rips, no tears, no seams coming apart. It's still as comfortable as ever.
