Reminds me of the Exped Ergo hammock, my friend has one. Certainly its a nice piece of gear but not sure if the price is justified. Same goes for the Amok I think, I mean $415!

Just seen the video on liveleak I was really impressed until I seen the price tag.

Interesting concept but don't really see any real advantage?

Flatter lay. Smaller span, more options.

Very interesting, and very out of the box thinking!

I actually quite like that - I wouldn't buy it - well if I had the extra cash just lying around and I had nothing else to do with it I probably would, but I don't. I like the way it has been thought out with the bottle holder pockets and netting.

Although couldn't a similar thing be achieved with an normal hammock but just extra wide...

Flatter lay then most standard hammocks yes but most top end ones or ones that have enough material you can get virtually flat.

What extra options does it have?

More options as in which trees to use...

Yeah true, do see your point about smaller span but dont think its worth the extra price. Still looks cool and unique though

Doubt it would work with standard quilt.

Why - you're not constrained? It'd be the same as in a tent.

He's referring to underquilt.

As am I. Using a pad in a standard gathered end hammock can give you cold shoulders where they get "squeezed" by the hammock - but looking at the photo's for this one it isn't the case.

I've just recieved my Sky Bed. Very pleased with it too. Hoping no cold shoulders.

Be interested to see some pics and hear your thoughts Mike when you get out with it.
