When it's time to travel light and fast, turn to the Ultra-Light Hammock from Travel Hammock. The UL Hammock is made of 100-percent polyester taffeta, which is not only comfortable enough for quick naps and evening snoozes, but also packs down to a mere 12 ounces. As a result, it's a breeze to bring this hammock on long hikes without weighing down your pack. The hammock is also compatible with a sleeping pad, creating the ultimate off-the-ground sleeping solution.
The Ultra-Light Hammock provides a comfortable, lightweight sleeping solution.
And setup couldn't be easier thanks to the included hammock hanging kit, which includes two 10-foot pieces of pre-knotted 4.5 mm accessory rope and step-by-step instructions. Other details include attached S-hooks for easy hanging, a 250-pound weight capacity, and a mildew-resistant, quick-dry design. Equipped with an attached stuff sack for easy transport, the UL Hammock measures 9.5 by 4.5 feet and carries a 10-year warranty.
Comment: Bargain hammock for day hiking. Decent fabric. Useable as is out of the box, but if you get into enjoying 'hammocking' you'll want to replace the ropes and S-hooks provided with good carabiners, longer ropes to allow you to tie up to larger trees/further apart, and tree straps.
This is a good cheap choice for casually tossing into your day pack for a midday break on a long day hike, a car camping weekend, or a backyard. Packs down to about softball size.
For serious hammock camping, you'll want a different model with sewn in mosquito netting, a rain fly, etc. Google 'hammock forum' for a nonprofit site with tons of great hammocking info.

Comment: I bought the hammock last year and use it almost every day on my lunch break at work. It is very comfortable and no strings to get tangled. I love it and am only writing this review since I came back to buy another one.

Comment: The hammock is good for the money. I weigh about a buck 50 and it was fine with me and my 5 year old son. Not sure I would feel quite the same if I were 200lbs. It's definitely light weight and easy to pack.
