Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am an avid camper, backpacker, and outdoor education instructor. I have been looking for a lightweight, easy-to-pack hammock for my spring and summer excursions, and believe I found the perfect one! When I purchased my hammock from Wise Owl Outfitters, I was surprised how compact and lightweight the hammock was when bundled in its attached stuff sack - an ingenious multifunctional design! Once unpacked, I was relieved to find two very strong carabiners securely attached to each end, and two 6-foot, high-grade ropes included in the bundle. It was extremely easy to install between two sturdy trees by simply securing the ropes to either tree and effortlessly clipping the carabiners to each rope. Climbing inside, I could instantly feel the comfort of this hammock while being cradled by its smooth parachute material. Perfect for the occasional afternoon nap or even a multiple-night camping trip. This two person parachute hammock is very well built. It's seams are triple-stiched, and although the maker claims the material is durable enough to hold up to 400 lbs, my tests did not fully test this weight limit. The attached stuff sack doubles as a side pouch for things like a cell phone, cool beverage, flashlight, etc. After a few enjoyable minutes lounging in the hammock by myself, I asked my 10 year-old to climb in and join me, to determine how comfortable the hammock really could be with two people (see attached photo). We were impressed. There was plenty of material for both (a combined weight of about 250 lbs.) to comfortably lounge side by side! The fabric stretches just enough to cradle the forms of both of us without causing us to roll and bunch up in the middle. I plan on using this hammock for just myself, but I have no doubt that it would be just as comfortable with two adults. So if you are in the market for a lightweight hammock, this is the one to buy! Its versatile, lightweight design is perfect for backpacking, camping, or even just backyard lounging. I received this discounted hammock in return for my honest and unbiased opinion.
