Great Buy - first user review
Great Buy for the price. I took this unit on a 4 day mountain bike camp trip in Copper Harbor, MI. I am 6'1 200lbs and this hammock was more than big enough. Before you read this review know that this is my first hammock and I did not do any research on the setup; figured I would wing it. So don't take my rope length and angles as perfect, this is me trying to find the sweet spot.Hammock performed great, setup is a joke and its actually quite comfortable. The first two nights I woke up with no back pain, no stiffness, nothing. The 3rd day We rode downhill mountain biking for a solid 7 hours. This is an important factor because my lower back was blown out. The ultimate test would be waking up the next day to determine how screwed up my back has become. To my surprise, I woke up fine- not sure what the deal is but I slept like a baby in this hammock and was back to 100% the next morning. for that aspect I was impressed. I found that sleeping slightly at an angle with give you even more room. From my photos you can see that I also used a sleeping pad due to the nights dropping into the 40's. Without it I would have been a bit cold- and the pad did open up the space inside-As previous reviews mentioned, the netting is quite oversized, you can find a way to take the slack out or deal with it, its no big deal- I ran a separate line fairly high and this solved the issue. Zipper is high quality, one zipper is facing outward the other inwards so you can seal yourself in. Great buy, if I missed something or you have a question respond and i'll try to answerthanks

A quality really well made hammock, but is lacking some features
This hammock was a quality made hammock and I wanted to give it more stars. IF you're a weekend warrior who only hangs once in a blue moon then this hammock will suffice. If you're an experienced hammock junkie then this hammock lacks some basic features that I find necessary for a quality night of hanging.1. The zipper does not fully unzip, and I would prefer that the zipper unzipped the full length of the hammock making entry and exit easier.2. The mosquito netting has a single set of ridge line loops which only raises the middle of the netting. My old Enu had a middle ridge line and two outer loop sets to help spread the netting more. With a single ridge line the hammock feels claustrophobic. .3. Same with the hammock body, there were no loops a long the body of the hammock that would allow you to stake off the hammock and spread out the body. Luckily I use a Klymit hammock V which helps spread the body of the hammock making it not so confined.4. There was no internal storage pouches to put your keys, cell phone, or any other item that maybe in your pocket. There was the outside bag, but I'd rather have my valuables inside with me.The company did reach out to me several times asking how happy I was with the purchase, which I appreciated, and I think that with some additional features this company has a bright future in the hammock making business. .

It's insanely comfortable (my gf and I have fallen asleep on it ...
Seriously this hammock is everything I wanted and more. It's insanely comfortable (my gf and I have fallen asleep on it countless times and we've only had it like 2 weeks). I probably searched 30 to 40 different hammocks trying to find the right one that was both large enough, light enough, came with good carabiners/tree straps and had a strong warranty behind it. This hammock not only met but exceeded all of those requirements. The mosquito net was also a major feature I wanted and the fact that this hammock has a super easy to use one that I'm pretty sure also has YKK zippers is amazing!After my hammock arrived I decided to test it out at a popular park here in San Francisco. After seeing how easy it is to set up and how seriously comfortable it is. I've now probably shared the link to this hammock with at least half a dozen or more people.The hammock has more than enough space for a large 6'3" 210lb guy and his 5'4" 140lb girlfriend. That being said, last week I bought my gf her own personal one since she was so envious of my new lounging lifestyle haha, yes mam!

So worth it.
I'm by no means a "pro" hammock guy. I don't know anything about knots and use things like night ize figure 9 carabiners to hold lines tight.That being said, I motocamp and have started becoming a hammock convert from tenting. All of these hammocks seems pretty similar to me. I also have a Grand Trunk double. The material on this Everest one is a little different that the parachute nylon commonplace in other hammocks. I agree with another reviewer in that it feels softer.Several big draws here: 1 - The price. Outstanding value. Makes me wonder why other hammocks cost almost twice as much with less features. 2 - Integrated bug net. I have a Grand Trunk mozzy net (big, bulky, but gives you a floor) and nearly bought an Eno bug net that goes around the hammock but that looked like a real pain to use or get in/out of. Having the net integrated makes things so much simlper to me. And it comes with lines built in to hold it up. And just flip it upside-down when you don't need the net.It doesn't pack quite as small, obviously. But the built-in pouch has a compression strap sewn on it which is convenient (and you don't lose it). I slept in this every night on a two-weel 4000 mile ride from New England around Ontario and around Lake Superior. Had no issues and slept fantastic, and no bugs bothered me.I like this so much, I bought a second one recently in case it disappears from Amazon or in case something happens to the first one. I have a fear the bug net will pull away from the hammock. This may be unfounded - the stitching seems strong, and it's a beefy zipper. Worried more about me doing something dumb to rip it moreso than a product failure.In summary - get it, pair it with some tree straps and carabiners and enjoy. Note that it doesn't come with carabiners - the ends of the hammock are zip-tied together. Which I'm fine with - I'd rather add good carabiners and not pay a little more for low-quality ones. My thanks to the manufacturer for offering a solid product at a reasonable price.
