WindPouch Inflatable Hammock

After seeing this product on social media, I decided to take the plunge and purchase it with the Amazon credit that I have accumulated through my Amazon credit card. While there were many cheaper versions available on Amazon and other sites, I opted for the WindPouch brand because it seemed to come from the most reliable seller, be made of the best material, and came with a one year warranty from manufacturer defects.Pros:Very comfortable (although it takes a little getting used to in order to adjust and find the most comfortable positions). If you sit higher in the pouch, you will have more back support and be sitting more upright, or if you sit lower, you will lay more flat but have more head/neck support.Portable. I have taken this thing with me everywhere. My favorite use for it so far was when I took it to watch fireworks on the 4th of July with family and friends. It was a huge hit and I received many compliments and interest from people who wanted to know where I got it.Floats. When I saw that the product could be used in the water, I was doubtful and expected it to easily flip over due to its shape. While it isn’t the easiest thing to get into, it is much easier than I expected and after tipping out a few times, I quickly got the hang of it. Once you are in, it is very comfortable and relatively sturdy as long as your friends don’t tip you out.Warranty. After a few weeks, my WindPouch started to leak air. I wasn’t sure how this happened, since I hadn’t used it around anything sharp. I emailed the WindPouch support team and they shipped a repair kit to me within a few days. They also offered to have me ship it back and let them repair it. The instructions for installing the new tubing weren’t the best, but I was able to figure it out in around 15 minutes.Cons:Tubing Material. Although the cloth outer layer is very comfortable, the tubing inside is relatively thin and flimsy. I only realized this when changing out the liner though, so maybe it is strong enough to withstand most of the elements.Price. I still think the $80 price tag on this item is over the top, but I do love the product. However, a lower price tag may help with preventing other knock-off versions from gaining market share.Bottle/Can Holder. While the pockets on the side of the WindPouch are good for holding your phone or wallet, the bottle/can holder is just an elastic strap with no bottom and is also poorly positioned to hold anything. This feature is relatively useless.Overall, I love the product, but I think there are a few kinks that should be ironed out for a product this expensive to deserve a five star review. I would still recommend WindPouch over other brands for the quality of service and warranty, which have already been helpful!

I recently ordered the Crimson windpouch, and IT IS AWESOME! It took me two tries to get it inflated the first time, but after that it's easy. I lay on it more than I do my recliner and couches. Great for outdoor events like a picnic or just relaxing in the park. It stays cool in the sun and has pockets and a beer holder. It's easy to roll back up and it is more compact than I expected. Im 6'0 and I can easily sleep on this thing! I can't wait to travel with this thing! Colombia, here I come! Oh yea it came in on time!!

TL;DR this thing is awesome and worth every cent. For a bag of air, it is super versatile, surprisingly durable, stows away nicely, and with a 2-year warranty I am not sure what could go wrong. After seeing it on facebook, I was initially thrown by the price, especially after discovering what appeared to be similar products for less on Amazon, but after exploring the impressive WindPouch website a little more, I decided that when buying a bag of air, you probably get what you pay for, and that this was a quality product with a company that stood behind it. I was right. The windpouch came in a nice drawstring bag with a note that reassured me that I had made the right choice.First time trying to fill it was in a small room and was definitely frustrating. I realize now that by design, one can simply roll the end a few extra turns before buckling to compensate for not being able to scoop as much air as desired without losing overall size. With room to move around and a little practice I can get this thing inflated and lounge-ready in under 30-seconds and without looking too ridiculous. At the beach inflating was as simple as facing the wind and opening the flaps, the wind does the rest. The stake does not hold in sand very well, but as long as someone is laying on the windpouch or there is weight (a cooler or bag) on the stake it keeps it from blowing away. The pockets are convenient for holding sunscreen and phones, and what I can only assume is a cup holder on the other side does indeed hold a can very snuggly. The drawstring bag is durable and has room to spare for a wallet, phone, keys, and a few bottles of water, everything you would need for a grand day out.We were all fighting over who got next turn on the windpouch. It was so much more comfortable and less sandy than laying on the ground, and it was a great marker for our camp as you can easily spot it from afar. At one point we did take it out into the water, and it worked like a giant inner tube, and I actually managed to ride a wave, however the lifeguard prohibited further fun 'I dont know what THAT is, but you can't have it out there', fine fine, we'll keep it on the shore. Breakdown is easier than setup, brush off the sand, unclip and roll from the closed end and reclip once rolled up. After about the 4th time closing it, I found a method that works for me to get it all wrapped up to where the clip holds the pouch together and it slides in the bag without having to wrestle or force it.I was worried about the durability, especially with the sharp shell fragments, canine claws, rambunctious kids, and dragging an inflated pouch across rough concrete and gravel, but it has held up wonderfully and aside from some sand I cannot even tell it spent an abusive weekend exceeding its recommended weight limit. At one point we found ourselves short on seating for everyone in the hotel room...I busted out the pouch and all was well.One more item worth mentioning is that this thing attracts attention. I caught alot of people staring with envious eyes and sandy cheeks. We actually got passes from a promotor who asked for (and received) a demo. Granted you probably shouldn't be going to a public beach, let alone with a windpouch if you find the idea of people looking at you bothersome. I imagine the effect is multiplied if you order a bright pink one.I am 100% satisfied, even after being skeptical of the initial purchase. Will update review if things change.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT!! Husband bought me another brand of a similar product and it wouldn't hold air for more than 30 min. The Wind Pouch has surpassed my expectations! I returned the previous off-brand one and purchased the Wind Pouch. It was worth the extra money by far. Quality Made and has held air for more than 24 hours! It was also super easy to fill with air and use. Love, love, LOVE It! My favorite way to enjoy it is to throw a blanket over it, crawl in, and wrap up to enjoy a movie or a super comfy nap. My little dog also loves to jump in my lap and lounge in it. Can't wait to use it on the water and outside when it gets warm.

I originally purchased a WindPouch for my boyfriend, but the one I received was defective. The WindPouch Company customer service was outstanding! They provided a new one with no hassle at all, and responded to all comments and concerns in the same day! We loved the product and customer service so much we acquired another one. Anywhere we go we are constantly asked about the Pouch and will continue to recommend it to others. This WindPouch has been excellent during the summer. Pro Tip: only fill WindPouch to about 75-80% then roll 3-4 times, and enjoy!
