As a lifelong camper, I have always enjoyed everything about living outside…except the sleep. I’ve tried every conceivable way to achieve a comfortable sleep, but ‘adequate’ is as good as I’ve been able to get. 5 years ago, I received a Ninox Flat-lay as a gift, and knew the second I got into it that the game had changed. I quickly worked to trick out my rig, and now have the entire ensemble needed for comfortable outdoor living. My standard set-up is the Ninox and rain fly, Puffle, and Stratos shelter (I know it’s not designed for the Ninox but I was able to easily retrofit it myself), and I will typically get about 10-14 nights/yr in it. It has been through torrential storms without a drop of water getting in, and the rain fly allows for air to move freely through the unit as well as maintaining views outside…something not found in the tent world. I love every second. There is definitely a learning curve, but once you get it figured out, it will be by far the best sleep you’ve had camping. At 50 years of age, getting up without being sore is something I can’t even get in my bed at home, but I spring out of the Ninox in the morning feeling refreshed from a deep sleep, and bounce around like a teenager with no soreness at all. I’m considering getting one for in the house as well.

Between civilian camping and military bivouac I've been camping most of my life. In this time I've used a ton of different tents, sleeping mats, cots, and sleeping bags. Years ago I tried a surplus military jungle hammock but did not know how the set up or sleep in it, so it was a disaster. Over the past two years I started trying to use hammocks again after buying a cheap one of amazon. While looking at thing to improve that $40 hammock I stumbled onto the Sierra Madre site. After reading reviews and researching I settled on the Ninox. I recently took it into the Ozark mountains for a long weekend. I am impressed! I slept better than I do in my bed at home. This thing is great! The design and features are brilliant. Set-up is fast and easy, everything is where it should be and already attached. I was sad when I had to take it down and return home. I cant wait to use it more.

This company is just too amazing, not only did I receive the most amazing flat laying hammock that I’m finding a way to sleep in it every night, my back doesn’t hurt! But I also won a $100 gift card!! This company is the best gear company out there. Don’t think just buy it. You will not regret it. EVER.

This hammock is a game changer. I had the Ninox Fly for a bit before I got the double-layer hammock. it is soft, strong, and huge. Took it to Silver Falls this last weekend and there was heavy rain. was no problem.
