Anyone tried a Rothco Jungle Hammock?

So I was in my local Army Navy Surplus store today, just went for a bit of window shopping and picked up a 100% wool hat for $8. I also saw this hammock for $60

I've been contemplating a hammock for a while, but it wouldn't see much use as I normally go camping with the misses and we use a tent when together, or usually a friend who doesn't have a lot of gear so again tent is required. But still I do go out alone from time to time, and the thought of carrying a lighter pack has intrigued me, hence the interest in a hammock. But I didn't want to spend $150 on one.

I decided to hold off the impulse buy and do a bit of research first. Not a whole lot of info, a scatter youtube video, and a mix of good and bad amazon reviews.

Has anyone here used this hammock? Is it any good?

Any recommendations for a different well priced hammock?

Thanks
H

Just found this. Much lighter and has more positive reviews. All I'd need to do is add a tarp.

DD and Tenth Wonder do very nice hammocks ranging from simple to more advanced and robust bivi types. Have used both and will be getting a TW Hornet or 3 layer bivi as slightly cheaper than DD and I see no quality differences. Both can be found on own online stores or ebay etc from around £15 to £50-60 depending on type. Tarp extra of course. TW even do a tarp with doors!

Cheers

Highlander have launched a hammock complete with tarp - looks like a good product, I'm certainly happy with all the other things of theirs that I've bought in the past

Looks nice, very lightweight to lug around and with tarp included very reasonable.

Think someone reviewed the hornet/ highlander one on here recently

There is a Hennessy expedition used for sale locally, but it's missing the fly. Seller had it up way to high for my liking. I've made him and offer and may go for that, and pick up a small tarp for it.
