These things are incredible.For the price you pay, they are durable, lightweight, and come with warranty. I won't travel without it. The doubles are definitely worth it too ;) Doubles are breathable and by "cocooning" it you block out bugs and light rain!

This review just isn't fair, especially comparing the entire Travel Hammock line based on the review of this product. By the way, every review from him is negative....something smells fishy and it's not his breath hopefully. Let's face it, this is a inexpensive product, what do you want?? As for the other brands mentioned, you have to look at the products that are actually competing products. Such as the Travel Hammock parachute nylon hammock that kicks ass! It's bigger, stronger and has a better price than the eagles nest hammock. Plus, the warranty is the best there is, 10 years. Not to mention the fact that the Travel Hammock gives you a FREE hammock hanging kit, which Mr. Big also complained about, I guess he likes to pay for something you should get included with the product. Either way you look at it, the Ultralight Hammock is a nice, lightweight product that is extremely affordable.

I have to write a rebuttle to the unfair posting by Mr Big, whom obviously works in the hammock business and is taking a shot at The Travel Hammock. First of all, the Ultralight hammock is a price-point product, plain and simple, otherwise it wouldn't be $19.99 Second of all, comparing this product to the parachute nylon Travel Hammock just isn't fair. If you were to do this you would find (specifically compared to eagles nest and other parachute nylon hammock makers) that the Travel Hammock is made by the original manufacturer of parachute nylon hammocks and is simply the best made. It's actually made in a hammock making factory, not a furniture and gift maker shop. The size is longer, wider and has been independently lab tested to hold 400lbs. Not to mention the fact that they include a FREE hammock hanging kit (not trying to force you to purchase an additional rope kit, like eagles nest) and offer a no worries 10 year warranty...have you tried to return an eagles nest hammock? Finally, let's talk about price. The Travel Hammock is at least a 25-30% saving over eagles nest when you include the FREE hammock hanging kit. So Mr. Big I would challenge you to try and prove these facts wrong and in your defense, at least you didn't recommend a Hammock Bliss hammock, otherwise I would have to call the opinion police on you.

I have used this hammock a couple times now and I love it... I live in Colorado and I love hiking and back packing and I will never camp or backpack anywhere without this hammock... It's light weight and very strong. My friend and I (about 400 Lbs combined) sat in it to test it out and it felt very sturdy. Buy a couple because as soon as you lay it you won't want to get out to let your friend in you are going to want him to get his own...

Comfortable and light. It's $20 and well worth it. It's easy to pack back into its own pocket and even with a few holes after much use, it has not torn. Get a few because everyone will want to use yours.

I got one of these and I think it was either poorly made or defective. I would advise against anyone buying one of these. I set it up according to the instructions and after about thirty seconds of laying down in it it ripped in half and I fell to the ground. I only weigh 165lbs and it is supposedly rated for 250lbs. And no, I didn't have anything sharp in my pockets or on my pants. Stay away from this. I hit my tailbone hard and narrowly missed hitting my head on a log.

Buy it. It works, its light, its strong, it packs down small, its cheap.

Great Product

Well what can I say. Bought it cause it was cheap. Found two trees and wrapped the chords around them eh voila! (sp?) Ploped in and read away and then dozed off.

This was the lightest non-mesh hammock I could find and the most packable. It was also a very good price and comes in decent colors. My only problem with The Travel Hammock, and I've used quite a few of their products, is that the quality isn't as good as a Hennessey, Eagles Nest, Speer, Mosquito Hammock, Jungle Hammock, etc. The material is simply low quality and the stitching isn't terribly tough. With use, the hammock will rip and eventually fail. For the models which have mosquito netting, it will eventually rip as it is made of lower grade stuff. With that said, this is an entry-level hammock, yet one of the better (price, weight, size, etc.) for an infrequently used piece of gear.
