First of all, I must point out that I did not purchase this through Amazon. I got it off of ebay after trying in vain to purchase it via the DD website.All I can say is holy human hanging baskets batman!! It's a steal!I took 2 with me (one for the Mrs) on our 10 day hike through the pyrenees. It was my first ever trip with a hammock and I opted for this one specifically due to its ability to transform into a bivi of sorts.I also purchased some tree huggers, whoopie slings, and giant karabiners in order to hitch the hammocks. I used the marlin spike hitch knot thing* to set up the hammock, and then attempted to mount said contraption.If it's your first time,you will be subject to vivid memories of that horrific moment when your schoolmates/siblings/parents/boss/magician first said to you "trust me, just fall back and i'll catch you". It's hard to really turn your full weight over to the strength of your own knots, but happily once you do you will be filled with delight that such a thing actually works.In my opinion the comfort is a 100% improvement on the floor (yes even with pad) and the hammock wraps around you providing a feeling of security (in terms of not falling out). If you are subject to motion sickness it may not be to your taste as the hammock does rock with every move. There is of course a way around this and some guy lines will sort you right out. I personally preferred the gentle rocking motion.There is a compartment designed specifically for the insertion of a sleeping pad, and this is one of the few things with which I took issue. I have a contoured sleeping pad which moved around something silly whilst I was sleeping and I ended up not being on it half the time, which left me cold (as I had decided to save weight on the optional underblanket). I haven't docked a star for that because of the contoured design and the fact that after 2 nights practice I was able to correct this issue without leaving the comfort of the hammock.Having mentioned the underblanket, I feel I should mention that is is a recommended buy if your predicted night time temps will drop below 10 degrees. My synthetic sleeping bag is rated to minus seventeen and I was slightly cold.The other issue I have is that although the hammock easily accomodated my 6'5 height very well, if I didn't rig the hammock almost perfectly horizontally I ended up with that weird hyper extension thing where your legs try to bend the other way at the knee. Not pleasant. Again, I haven't taken a star because it's solvable (by lying on your side or rigging the hammock in a specific way).The hammock itself is barely noticeable weight-wise and it did not become a burden at all.The mosquito net is designed to keep even midges out and it kept the mosquitos out perfectly.I could go on about this thing all day, but the fact of the matter is that it's only 50 odd quid and it's a bloody bargain. I simply won't be without it now if trees are my intended destination.I don't know why the hennesy hammocks are 100 quid dearer but they must be special if they beat this one.My advice is that you will definitely make worse £50 purchases in your life, so just chance it.*there's a youtube video in which this exact setup is demonstrated for those of us who aren't boy scouts or seafarers.

I love camping but hate the backache I always get from sleeping on the floor. This is the most comfortable bed ever. I put it up to test it out, and ended up falling asleep in it. I love the fact that it has a mosquito net inbuilt into it, and that it doubles up as a bivy bag in case there are no trees. When I first put it up I thought it looked a bit small, but once I was in it I felt like a pea in a pod, there was plenty of space for me and my stuff. There are four pockets inside, so you dont have to leave your mobile ect out of the hammock, its so well designed. My back got a bit cold, but there is a flap in which you can stuff some insulation, so I am going to take a bin bag and stuff a bag of leaves or whatever is around under me,to keep the cold out. It is quite heavy when its all folded down, but not as heavy as a tent and airbed, and much more comfortable. Its brilliant and I am really looking forward to camping with it, much better than a tent. 5 stars!

Ok, the cons.This is a little bigger and heavier than other hammocks on the market that have less features and more modular choices.The pros.Buy it. If your considering a hammock this is a great place to start or upgrade to. Great build quality. All stitching, webbing and nylon feel strong and ive had little if any stretch. Size is good, very hard to fall out of (ive tried) and can be used as a recliner or a chair. Mosquito net is strong but is sewn in so no modular options, but only a problem if you live where theres NO bugs.But as with most hammocks the real reward is comfort. If your laying down or sitting its extremely comfortable. I cannot recommend this product enough. Ive used it in -2 in January,slept on cliff sides and even over a small brook. Buy one!

Fantastic hammock! great quality fabric, double layered. I flip the hammock upside down without putting bug net up, just for that quick chillout, less fraff instant set up for when you need to keep getting in n out to tend your fire etc..only small nitpicks, would be nice if a snake skin was included in the price, or some tree hugger straps. Could work out expensive by the time you add the other pricey added sundries, but worth it for a new hobby. Wish stuff sack was a few inches bigger too as bit of a tight squeeze to fit everything back in, especially with added snakeskin.However, minor gripes and this hammock is fantastic and well worth the price! DD seem to be the best!

I went for the travel rather than frontline version to give added flexibility. People have had worries with them over condensation but I have had no issues.This is a comfortable hammock and quite a big hiking tent inner in one at a competitive price. I had a problem with one of the zips and the hammock was replaced by dd immediately and express courier sent to France ! Can't fault them for service and response. No such issues with this one and it is doing a great job. At this price range, there is not much to compete with dd.

Very pleased with this hammock and the price. It's for my son who will be working in France for the summer when he is on a river dissents. He wanted a hennessey but No way too expensive. We trialed this hammock yesterday - very easy to put up and down and pack away and he said it was very comfy :-) We have ordered the basha just in case of bad weather and I'm sure that the set up will be really good whilst he is away for 6 months.

I brought this hammock as a present and had to exchange it for a different model. The process was quick and painless and the DD Hammocks customer services were very helpful; always responding quickly to my emails. As far as the actual hammock went, it seemed to be well made and of high quality, but I obviusly didn't have a chance to test it because it was being returned. The new one seems to be of equal quality.

So I've had a hammock in the past for camping which cost £17, i remember the pain it give me putting pressure on both shoulders. This hammock gives me no pain at all and I am quite broad.The quality of the hammock is fantastic and I can't fault it, great material, great netting, great rope.It's very easy to pack.I can't find a bad point to it so if you want a good hammock that will last then this is the one!

Super comfortable, because as background, a person is comfortable and no sensation of falling, super tough, I used to improve comfort a foam mattress camping between the double layer, then you will not believe it is really good, and gives to wrap the foam mattress while the hammock PERFECT!!

Impressed with this from the very first second.Outstanding quality, very light, great having the bug net.Tested several times outside in some cold forests in Scotland - great time, great comfort, and great sleeps.

Love this, only purchased it towards the end of the summer so didn't have a great deal of time to use it, but when i did i had a great nights kip.small, light weight and looks cool.

DD are without a doubt be best brand of hammock around. I've got two that I've had for years and used them in wind, rain and snow and they look brand new!

22.6.2014

It's easy setup lightweight at a reasonable cost. Much better than a tent and much more practical what else is there to say.

23.5.2015
