Hi,

I'd like to know if this product is reliable, including in long term.
It's a light hammock, mosquito net, and tarp.

I'm kind of doubting its resistance... And waterproofness.

Thanks!

Here's what I'm talking about, wasn't sure I could post it.

You can post a link as long as your last name ain't Hennessy.

Seems awfully expensive to me. I have never heard of this item before, so I cannot speak to its quality. But seems expensive. Wait, I've already said that.

I don't own a Hennessy, everybody that I have talked to that does, swears by them (in a good way).

Hennessy is the gold standard to judge all other hammocks to. There are better, more expensive ones, but most are just improving on the Hennessy. The price is right for what you get. The tarp is waterproof and will keep you dry in a heavy rain. In fact, it will be more comfortable and drier than in a tent. You won't go wrong buying a Hennessy.
Of course, you can also do better, and if you make one yourself, then you can do better for cheaper.

I have two Henessy Expedition Asym hammocks. They aren't the lightweight ones you mentione (but still only weigh 2.5 lbs complete). They can hold more weight and are more durable than the hyperlites. Great Hammocks!
