hammock advise

[Bob W]

Often looked at these myself and as you say, may be good for a try out, but don't do a direct comparison to the likes of a DD or TW hammock. The Trekmates is only 1m wide compared to the 1.4/1.5m width of the others. This makes a huge difference when it comes to the comfortable 'diagonal lay' which enables you to sleep flat.

I did consider that, the reason I posted is because I was thinking about getting one for the exact same reason, but I just jumped in with both feet and got the DD frontline. I'm still considering a lighter hammock for my day sack to use to sit in or lay back and chill whilst mooching about and after reading this thread and looking at the scout hammock (which I've never looked at before), I reckon I'd go for that over the one I linked to, I never noticed the negative points on the reviews of the trekmates before

I never noticed the reviews! I must go back and have a look. I was looking at these for the same reasons as you but had stupidly forgotten about the DD Scout hammock.

thanks for the inputs, the neg reviews put me off the trekmates, will have to look out for a second hand good one, or hope Mr bamford gives us a xmas bonus lol

This is a decent double layer hammock from TW which also includes shipping.

I bought this one below which is longer at 3 metres and is 1.8 metres wide, ideal for a diagonal lay. This also includes shipping.

I like the idea of the wider one, same kinda money to.

Its a decent well made hammock. Once you become a regular buyer from TW you will also get 10% discount as well.

Anyone had much use from a Hennessy? I have one and had a few great nights sleep out of it, it's currently bobbing around on ship so can't use it but toying with the idea of getting a DD or TW.. Happy with the Hennessy but just wondering...

[jus_young]

I think most folks that have used the Hennessy on here have tended to migrate away from them.
