In reply to Kate S. I think they are both great. Fabric is good, lay is good.

Hi Derek. I’ve just hit the ‘buy’ button on the Pro single as I’ve been keen to get a lightweight hammock to add to my kit. I plan to use it for day / camp site use, not as a sleep system. I see you initially tried the ultralight as well and wonder if you think the pro is worth the extra weight? What were your thoughts on the ultralight?

In reply to jim. For your height, I would get the double.

Hi Derek,

I just read your review on the Sea to Summit Pro Hammock and was wondering if you could provide me some guidance. I wasn’t sure if I should get the single or double and was hoping to get your feedback.

I am 6’1″ and 180 lbs.

Thanks,
Jim

In reply to Bernhard von Oppeln. You’ll fit fine in this hammock. It’s a great option, but you may want bug protection?

Derek,
I’m new to hammock camping and not very tall (170cm).
Would you recommend this hammock as a serious camping hammock? I’m kind of a minimalist and always looking to lighten up my gear… Just switching from tarp and bivy to hammocks. I have slept 2 years in a more traditional hammock, felt very comfortable. But it was a much bigger one. I plan to use a hammock with a inflatable pad inside my sleeping bag. Would appreciate any advice…

Bernhard

In reply to Ari. Thanks! I’m 5’10” (70 in / 178 cm). I think you’ll be at the comfort limit; too small for your friend. I’d get a longer hammock.

Hi Derek, bought your book and am loving it, excellent source of information and the illustrations really help explain things.

I am wondering about the Sea to Summit hammock and the size. You say that it fits you well, but am wondering how big you are and whether this will fit me and a friend who is considering a hammock. I am 183cm (6ft) and my friend is around 192cm (6ft4).
Any comments on this?
