I bought Wanderlust setup, which is what I think this developed into. I had already had a couple of camping hammocks, including a Hennessy, but I was never sure what to get for an under quilt and honestly, was never very comfortable or confident with it. Buying the whole kit was perfect for me. I got what I needed, and a little more, and it all works.

The HG hammock is comfortable, but it is also easy to set up. You don’t need to know any knots, everything is easy to get into place. It all fits together, so you know you got an under quilt that will work with a hammock that long, and you just clip it into place. You do have to fuss with it a little to get everything fluffed and sealed, but you know it’s going to work. It comes with suspension straps, a double ended storage bag, and a mesh snake to store the tarp. The insulation kit is a separate charge, but heavily discounted. It consists of an 20* underquilt and top quilt. On my first trip with the Wanderlust kit, it got down to 28* and I was plenty warm. And hey, once you’re already on the order page, you know you need an organizer and a storage loft, and… . I am now almost totally set up in Hammock Gear stuff, in matching Moroccan Blue.

In reply to GPW. Yes, you can lay either direction.

Is this a symmetrical hammock? I often swap diagonals through the night so I want a hammock that lets me sleep on either.

This is a nice looking hammock! I like the netting for the bugs but it also looks like maybe you can see better from inside it? Doesn’t look super deep. I like that.

In reply to Mark. Yes, it is a great entry-level hammock.

Would you consider this to be a solid entry level into the hammock? Not sure I’m sold on it yet and don’t want to spend too much too soon.

In reply to Marshall Moore.

Yes — all of those “hooded” ends are tricky to seal. I keep thinking if Hennessy didn’t get it right with their over-cover design that just “snaps” over the hammock. The HG hammock is nice, but it’s hard to say whether they will go “head-to-head” with some of their cottage competition as they also do a lot of partnering.
