Let me first say that neither my husband or I are campers or really aspire to be campers. However, from an emergency perspective, living in a hurricane prone region, we like to be prepared. Part of that preparation might involve sleeping outdoors, and I really would prefer that not be on the ground, and I'd prefer to not be feasted on by mosquitos if that day ever comes, so this netted hammock solves both concerns! Even better, it comes fully equipped with all of the straps and mounting hardware that would be needed to string it up between two poles, trees, etc.When we first opened up the tent - we thought that we may have made a mistake and purchased a tent cover instead. The tent was so light, and fabric so thin that we were unsure if it would hold our weight. On further inspection of the product details, we determined that we did, in fact, buy a tent. Luckily, hubby has an indoor cloth tent and stand in his office, so we quickly swapped that one out for this one to see how it holds up to his weight and size (6' and 220 lbs.). It fit perfectly and didn't so much as creak at his size and weight. I'm a bit smaller (5' 4", 120 lbs.), so I think I'll be fine.The tent itself has a built-in zipper that encloses you in the netting, which rests a few inches above your face and body once inside. The netting is super fine. I know from experience that it's more than small enough to keep 95% of bugs out of your space, and the only microscopic bugs that get in are likely too small to cause too much trouble on the short term. The fabric was pulled a little taut in our use case, but we found it to be both firm and giving. Depending on your preferences and body composition (hubby has some natural padding), you may want a camping mat and a small pillow.One of the cool features of this tent is that the carrying case is actually attached/part of the tent body. After we took it down, we initially thought we lost it until we realized that it was attached to the middle of the tent. You roll up each side of the tent towards the center, then stuff the very compact, very thin fabric into the attached bag one half at a time. Then the rest of the accessories (mounting stakes, cord, tree straps, etc.) fit on top of the tent in the same carrying case. As you can see in the attached picture, the resulting item is small enough to be held in one hand (ok, maybe a big hand, but still one hand).Overall, our brief indoor experience makes us want to give it a dry run outdoors, but based on what we've experienced so far, it's more than cut out for the job. This small but mighty hammock has earned a spot in the bottom of our "bug-out" bag.

I like having a hammock with me when I dayhike, because I really like stopping and relaxing, and a hammock is like a chair and tent all in one! This is a great value for the current $20 price, and the mosquito net is a welcome addition. I've often found myself swatting away bugs while trying to take a quick nap, even going so far as to bring a citronella candle with me, but I much prefer this simple solution. The zipper that holds the net onto the hammock is nice and chunky, but be careful, of course, because both the net and the nylon material can easily tear if they get caught in the zipper. Slide your finger along underneath the zipper when you open and close it to keep the materials clear of the zipper teeth!This is a great setup to get you started with hammock use, and it can be upgraded to lighter-weight components once you get a feel for hanging a hammock and the supplies you'll need.

So, right from the start this is a step up from other hammocks in this price range. The tree straps are well constructed with plenty of loops for setting the right tension and angle on the hammock. I like that the hammock ends use a heavy carabiner for connecting to the tree straps; that is a modification I usually have to make on the budget stuff. The hammock itself fits nicely in the integrated carry bag along with the tree straps and provides a handy little package for hiking/kayaking or the like.Overall construction is good and on par with this range of gear. Stitching is good but nothing to get excited about. With similar hammocks, I can say that it is not difficult to have a slight accident and tear the mesh away from the zipper. Sometimes that last drink around the campfire is not recommended.It is nice that the bungee cords are included to help keep the mesh up and away from your face, but there is always a downside on these simple designs. the bed of the hammock is deep and comfortable, but it wraps right around you so while you can keep the mesh top from falling in on you, the sides still close up around you. This is not special to this hammock, it is just a fact of life with hammocks like this that do not have any kind of support poles (of course, that adds weight and complexity, everything is a trade off). If you throw a sleeping pad inside, this does help keep it stretched from side to side a bit better.For budget hammocks, I do think this is better quality than others I've tried and certainly has better accessories. It may not be right for everyone, but I can dig it when I just want something simple.

This set includes straps with several lengths of hanging areas, carabiners, stabilizing stakes/ropes, and the all-in-one hammock, screen, and bag that becomes a cupholder (rather than being able to hold the hammock and parts a second time.) I hung this hammock up pretty low to the ground in case the straps slipped on the trees. The last time I had tried to get into a hammock I fell over backwards, so I'm glad this one had anchor straps for each side to help hold it in place. The flexible elastic anchors let the hammock rock gently in the breeze rather than stopping it from moving though. I wish there were a way to hold the mosquito netting further up out of one's face but that's my only complaint. The windbreaker-like material is soft, comfortable, and actually lets the cool through every time the wind blows. That was unexpectedly relaxing, so I stayed in the hammock longer than intended, eventually and begrudgingly going inside at the dogs’ insistence. I'd joked with the kids that I was going to install hooks to hang this up inside the house, and now I'm not so sure I was kidding.
