Lightweight, breathable, & durable

I finally got to use my new hammock on a camping trip last weekend & it went great! We weren't sure if the trees we wanted to hang it between would be close enough together but it turned out that they were way more than close enough.I got the "small" hammock & it's still pretty big!My boyfriend & I took turns laying in it to read & it held up great. He's around 200lbs & was worried it wouldn't hold him because the fabric seems thin, but it did & he was really happy with it! The carabiners & hanging straps that come with it are very sturdy. There was also a freak wind storm one afternoon & it got blown around quite a bit while we sat inside our tent. The hammock looked like a sail between the trees at certain times but it was perfectly fine the next day & we kept using it.The fabric is also breathable so you won't end up with a sweaty back, which was a main concern for me when I was shopping for a hammock.For packing, it bunches up into a small case that acts as a side pocket while the hammock is hung up, so that's a plus-plus. Packing space is minimal in our car so having compact items is important to us & this definitely fits that bill.I just sent a link for this hammock to a friend who wants one, so it officially has my stamp of approval!
