Hennessy Hammock Cub Zip Our Smallest Camping Hammock for Kids

Comfortable! I have had some of the best, most peaceful and comfortable night sleeps and naps in my hammock. That's saying a lot from someone with back issues.
My son loves this hammock for his Boy Scout camping trips. Its comfortable, compact, lightweight, and it keeps him dry!
The material used to make the hammocks is top of the line, and the stitching is strong and neat. No worries about falling out or tearing.
Was out for 48 hours in a thunderstorm and it kept me high and dry.
Wish it was more compactable for weight and space reasons, but I never fail to take it with me into the wilderness.

Hennessy Hammock Explorer Deluxe Classic XL Series - Built Tough for Emergency Services

This is so well made I felt comfortable trying all kinds of different positions. There is plenty of room so I was able to get comfortable and not feel claustrophobic.
This is it, this is the hammock camping solution you are likely looking for. It does everything it says it does and does it very well.
The quality of materials and workmanship is top notch. If you're just starting out with hammock camping and thinking about a Hennessy... don't hesitate!
It's easy to enter/exit, and durable. Very comfortable to sleep in, no bugs or rain inside, pouch to hold keys/phone etc inside tent.
It is simply an amazing hammock. It is very easy to set up, especially if you have the snake skin, it is very well built, it is super comfortable.
It works really well, but if you are a backpacker/trail hiker it might take up more room than you want.

Hennessy Hammock Cub Zip Our Smallest Camping Hammock for Kids

I have used mine in the rain, in cold hot and mild weather, with rain fly and without. I stayed completely dry and so did my pack with rain cover underneath.
The built-in screen protects me from the mosquitos and other bugs. Wow! No need to purchase a separate bug screen.
The zippers are strong and well made. Nice, easy, smooth zipping. No snags! The pocket inside, along the ridge line, is very nice and convenient.
Beautifully made hammock. Lots of fantastic features and details like the tarp prusic knot with hook and the round hooks at ends of hammock. Great little hammock.
Was out for 48 hours in a thunderstorm and it kept me high and dry.
This hammock is awesome but i would get one a little bigger.

Hennessy Hammock Explorer Deluxe Classic XL Series - Built Tough for Emergency Services

Fly could be shaped better, wind can bring moisture in. Bug netting works well.
The fabric is tough and the constitution of the hammock is as good as it gets. It has room to spare inside and I can sleep flat or on my side if I like.
It sets up fast and uses only two stakes to hold both the hammock and tarp in place. It will keep the high winds and blowing rain from getting to you.
Wind and the chill of the night were not a problem. Entrance and exit of the hammock could not be easier. There is a dry line on the inside to hang items from.
Really nice hammock, well made. Excellent value over brick and mortar sources or company web site. Great design except for the bottom entry.
The entry from the bottom is odd. If you sleep with a pad good luck. the fly is way too small to protect against a blowing rain.
