Ultra light hammock - has anyone used?

[jammy_monkey]

I'm in the process of hunting down a bivvy bag for a forthcoming trip, but I when I came across the following, I thought it would be nice to still carry a little hammock:

Has anyone used one of these? Thoughts? Thanks!

Alright for sitting in or a half hour lounge

Looks like a gear hammock rather than one for people, no?

Definitelly justa utility hammock. Good for sitting and for gear.
PS. Nylon is much better than net, you will snag the net every time you sit in it and loose small items. Something like this:

Aye Up,

I've been using one of those as a comfortable, off-ground obs platform for years and as an occasional back-up to my usual ground living set up for instances where I need to pitch on a steep slope or over marshy ground.
I see it as a temp option as opposed to a regular one and it scrunges up not much bigger than a baseball so no carriage/weight issues.

In the warmer months I don't use a doss bag just a softie jacket and trousers (For me - hammock, plus doss bag, plus quick exit required = aaargh! )

I've used it twice in each of the above instances and it has worked fine so long as you create a spreader bar (I used a green branch, a couple of inches in diameter and with a slot cut in each end to splay the net strands out. It makes the hammock a bit more comfortable and stops you ending up like a salami hanging in a butchers shop!

I've also used it beneath a tarp to spread out a damp inner clothing layer for drying off before hitting the sack - and as some have stated, as a gear hanger.
