they are a good starter hammock for people who don't want to make their own; they tend to be a bit prone to ripping easily due to the fabric used and once a rip starts it does not stop until one is on the ground - in other words be careful not to damage the fabric; the ENO suspension is at best questionable (are they still using nylon in their slap straps???) I would not recommend their suspension - go to some third party for a whoopie sling / polyester tree strap suspension unless you are willing to make your own suspension.
