I waited eagerly for this hammock. I’m used to the daytime relax and unwind with a book style hammocks. So when this one arrived, I had a few first time surprises. First of all, this thing is longer than I was imagining I needed. About 16ft between trees and and then hang about 5ft up. This allowed the stretch of the hammock material to accommodate my 205llbs. That was the second surprise. I was thinking the material seems awfully thin (actually great for packing weight) but, it holds up! Third, sitting on the side of the pares is easy enough but once laying out, you sink in deep. The sides feel like you are all wrapped up in a human burrito. I imagine it’s going to really help stop evening drafts in the cool of the night. I’ve even combined it with my Stratos bug shield! It’s a perfect set up for Florida adventures!
