Dont pay attention to low review's
I've been camping for over 30 years, 6 of which Uncle Sam paid for when I was reviewing barracks, e-clubs and portable cuisine as well as live fire marksmanship training after arriving in style, dropped at 20K feet from the back of a C130.
The material in these hammocks is of the same quality as the chutes we trusted our lives to. Just like those chutes, they do not react well to sharp objects nor are they intended to be a replacement for a jungle gym.
If you want an extremely lightweight, well constructed (I'm 6"2 295, wife is 5"10 170ish and it didnt strain) and self contained relaxation implement that also protects you from the insects AND you treat your gear with respect and care for it, this is the hammock for you. At under 3lbs all in a single bag - there is no equal.
Sure you could make a more rugged hammock but you would quadruple the weight. When you are backpacking miles in and every ounce counts?
Thus is for you.
