I was given a hammock for my birthday and used it for the first time on the trail and have a little bit of luxury time after a long trek. The thing was heavy and maybe would fit Papa smurf( I’m 6’) and being a landscape photographer, I felt the weight real quick. For once FB was listening to me and Sierra madre ad came across my feed. After hrs of research I chose their Parez hammock with the talon straps. I fell in love with it. I am all about a work smarter not harder mentality. The feel was smooth to the skin and size was perfect for me lay anyway I wanted to. I love the fact that it is light weight and packs nicely with the rest of my gear.

Lastly, their customer service team was great to work with. They answered all of my questions and I had a lot. In the end I keep this on me where ever I go and just recently invested in their stratos system.

So, I decided I should get a Pares for those more lounging type of days on day-hikes and to keep in the car. I am so glad I did! Now, I absolutely love my Solo and Ninox, but each has a purpose and neither of them seemed to scratch that itch of a full sized hammock without a bug net. The Ninox is awesome for sleeping, but sometimes you want to be able to sit up a bit more to see what's around you and this one surely does that. Plus, there's no zipper digging into the backs of my legs when hanging with Virru Ka Sault the wonder dog. Once, again, SMR delivers!

I totally enjoyed bringing my Pares hammock and my home made tensahedron hammock stand to a resort cabin in Northern Minnesota the past week.. The 11 foot Pares Camping hammock fit well on the portable stand. I can say enough about the comfortable flat lay I get with the new Pares Camping Hammock. There was one experience a had on the hammock that I would like to compare it with TM meditation. While consciously awake and relaxed in the hammock a had a rest full wakefulness experience of not being aware of my body position in relation to my hands and arms to my central body. It is a deep relaxation that is hard to describe. Love the Pares hammock.

Great hammock, I love the new quilt attach points. You can attach to one side or the other to assure when on the diagonal your underneath is covered.
