Review on Foxelli Lightweight Portable Nylon Hammock With Tree Ropes And Carabiners – Ideal For Camping, Hiking, Backpacking, Travel, Beach, Backyard & Garden Activities by Julpikz Bellemy

I purchased the purple/dark green hammock first, for myself, just to see if a lower priced hammock was worth it.The hammock arrived, upon opening the attached stuff sack, I noticed the carabiners were attached to rope instead of pictured nylon straps - this is okay because it feels more sturdy to me - just mentioning it because it's different than pictured.I had purchased these in conjunction with the Foxelli Hammock Straps XL, so I didn't have to fuss with the enclosed rope (I'm not comfortable with my knot tying skills). I would highly recommend those for that reason.My boyfriend, in trying to find a good spot to hang this, was testing it out. He's definitely under the recommended weight limit but heavier than I. We had some disagreement about mounting techniques - I think its acceptable to just sit on the sit on the short side and position yourself into it, he thinks you need to first straddle it, then position into it. Well, the straddling technique caused the stitching on the attached stuff sack to pop and it was left hanging by a thread. Not a big deal because I hang both this and the strap bag from the carabiners now anyhow.This is advertised as fit for two - I would have to disagree with this. I don't like my boyfriend that much. It's incredibly. cozy. I mean, we could both sit side by side, easily (which is perhaps what is meant?) but laying down together isn't an option.This being said - I purchased the blue/gray for him - this one coming with the nylon hammock-to-carabiner straps. I was a little skeptical because they looks so tiny compared to the rope I got on my first one but they're holding up quite well!If there were any alterations I would make to this design to better fit my needs it would be - a cup holder (somehow) and perhaps a secondary side loop to pull the side up for sun-blockage. My current solution is just to position my foot to make it more taut, pulling the side up more. I'm not sure how else to explain it but the side tends to hang down, otherwise (as opposed to cocooning the user) - this varies depending on how you position the hammock. I do homework in it so I place the head of the hammock higher in the tree so I'm in more of a seated position.All in all, very happy with this purchase and brand (I have several Foxelli products. I believe they are quality, for the price).
