Summary: ultra light travel hammack
Comment: This product is great!! I actually bought it to hang under my daughter's loft bed instead of the standard coach. She loves it. It is simple to hang up. It is incredibly light weight but can easily hold a 200lb man. It has enough material too. Great item. The one negative item is that when a grown man lays in it the hammock pulls tight and you can't lay with your legs straight in front of you. But still great!!!

Summary: Good product but has some flaws
Comment: Three of these hammocks were bought for a camping trip with my kids (ages 12 and 14). The first observation, the hammock does not come with a attach it to a tree. So my kids learned how to braid cord into rope so we could hang our hammocks.

The item as its shown at the time of this review says it comes with a free hanging kit. It this hammock does not come with a hanging kit, make sure you get something to hang this hammock with - or you will be sleeping on the ground.

I was disappointed that the hammocks did not come with at least a few feet of nylon rope. All you get in this package is the hammock, no rope, no cord no nothing to hang it with. To fix this problem, I bought some nylon rope and some D-rings with an 800 pound safe working limit. The D-rings can now be used for other things, as needed.

The stuff sack is attached to the side of the hammock. This is a nice touch, as it prevents you from loosing the stuff sack and its nice for having your flashlight close by at night.

The hammock needs to be a little wider, as you can roll out of it somewhat easily. I was sitting next to the camp fire and heard a "thud" - looked over and my 14 year old son had rolled out of his hammock. Good thing for him it was only about a foot off the ground. While I was trying to go to sleep in the hammock, I rolled around and almost fell out.

Overall this is a good quality, but its made in communist china. I was disappointed to see that the hammock was not made in the USA.

Summary: This is a toy
Comment: This is adequate for children to play with in the backyard, but certainly not a piece of camping gear.

Summary: Perfect travel hammock!
Comment: For the price and pack-a-bility, this hammock is perfect. We leave it in the car with the camping stuff all the time. It takes about two minutes to set up, and is super comfortable. I'm a fairly big guy and it holds me just fine. Highly recommended.

Summary: Great hammock: Portable and comfortable
Comment: I bought this hammock to use at college where I can't have a permanent or bulky hammock set up somewhere. It sets up quickly and easily. Since the hammock is fabric, it is more comfortable to lay diagonally than laying straight. There are many comfortable ways to lay in this hammock. I've even slept outside in it twice.

The ropes it comes with are too short for hanging the hammock anywhere but small trees close together, but I spent about $3 and purchased 50 ft of rope which I cut in half and used just like the ropes that came with the hammock. This completely solved the problem.

One of the original ropes got a little worn, so I emailed the company and they sent me a replacement rope free of charge. It was great service!
