Exactly what you would want from a hammock.Comes with an attached bag that is plenty big to fit the entire hammock and the two straps in it.The straps are a major plus because you can never find the right rope or the correct knot. With the strap, it takes all the guess work out of figure out how to tie it to a tree.About the only cons I have are that the insect netting gets in the way when not in use. However, I don't know what the solution to that is. One idea is to have it be removable, however, that opens it up to getting lost or misplaced. The other ideas is to make it as big as the hammock itself (currently it is a bit smaller) so that when not in use, you flip the hammock upside down and basically have the netting disappear under the hammock. The problem with that would be that the netting would then be too big and would droop on you when over you. Hence there is no right solution to the problem of it getting in the way. It just something you have to live with when not in use.Aside from that, I found no issues with it.

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.
