Excellent Quality, Good price
Exceptional product. I bought the SingleOwl camping hammock and received everything in perfect condition. The product came with two very rugged carabiners already attached, one at each end. The hammock has its own storage pouch stitched to the side of the hammock. This is very convenient to roll the entire product up and invert into its own pouch for storage and transport. When compressed into the pouch the product, including carabiners, takes up a tubular shape that measure about 5 inches high by 4 inches in diameter. I guess it weighs about a pound. The nylon is woven, very thin, and extremely strong - thought at first appearance you wouldn't guess it's as strong as it is. The stitching appears to be very high quality; I was not able to find any defects on the hammock I received. The product comes with two detached nylon ropes about 8-ft in length each. I suppose these ropes would be adequate to suspend the hammock, but I haven't used them.
The nylon is a broad woven material that has less "sheen" than you'd expect for nylon - it appears to be more like parachute material, and less like the nylon used on tents. It is somewhat breathable. I'm an average sized guy, about 6'1", 170lbs. This hammock is plenty long enough to be comfortable. The contrasting colored side flaps do, in fact, have enough width to cover a person when laying in the hammock - like a cocoon - but there is nothing to keep them closed. I thought this might be worth mentioning for anyone that was interested. Other than perhaps keeping mosquitoes or other bugs out, I can't imagine why you'd want this, but you can. This is a good product for a good price. If you're in the market for this type of hammock, I can highly recommend this brand.
I also purchased GONEX Hammock straps. This $12 accessory was more cost-effective than other options and still great quality. I definitely recommend hammock straps as an accessory - these will make hanging the hammock MUCH easier and considerably faster. I think the flat webbing of good hammock straps tend to hold the hammock more securely around trees, but that's just me.
