Not bad at all...
I got into hammock camping for comfort and to hopefully save some weight in my pack. After looking at ENO hammocks I put it on the back burner for a while because they are so expensive. I looked on Amazon and found an inexpensive alternative and dove in with both feet. Hammock camping done right is unbelievably comfortable! Okay, on to the review... This hammock is certainly everything is claims to be, strong, relatively lightweight, well made, in this respect it deserves 5 stars. It's ready to hang as it comes but you well be more comfortable with the options that come with atlas straps (you could always tie new knots each time you set it up to get the right sag), and bring some sort of cardboard to protect the trees with. The other reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the price... $45 is a great discount from an ENO but there are other options on Amazon at less than half the cost (possibly slightly lesser quality but they've been holding up just fine). If a version 2.0 came out at the same price with lightweight straps or whoopie slings it would be an awesome deal and a 6 star rating!

Great quality, great price
Got my IndigoSport hammock in very quickly last week, and have already used it a few times. These are comparable (in my opinion, preferable) to an ENO double. They are very comfortable, and aren't made out of the 'loud' parachute material that I see with some of the cheaper hammocks. I slept incredibly comfortably with a sleeping bag and blanket. It hooks up easily to any other straps you may have, and you can put something heavy in the pocket and throw it over you to keep out bugs. This will now be my go-to hammock, even above my ENO and Elevated Movement hammocks.

Good quality and competitively priced
This hammock is 100% Nylon, which means that it will resist tears and should hold the max weight that the company claims (up to 440 lbs). The weight max means that it will hold two adults without concern of it snapping the cords, but not if each adult weighs over 200 lbs. I think that being mindful of the weight restrictions will ensure long-time use of this hammock. Another thing the company states is that, packed up, it is very lightweight. It really does weigh less than a bottle of water; and with it being compact, it will be easily transportable to a campsite.I do think the company needs to re-word a couple of things though. First, the company claims that "you will receive a guide for setting up the hammock in less than a minute". First, there really isn't a guide, there is a web address, which takes you to a set up video, and printed instruction. I didn't really "receive a guide", whether instructions on where to find a guide. Nit-picky, I know, but not everyone is computer savvy or may want to visit a website before setting up a hammock. Next, unless a person is looking to test the set up in less than a minute theory, I can't see one person getting this set up in less than a minute. Two people, maybe. It really isn't that complex to set up, but "less than minute?".Another statement made is that a person can use this "while enjoying the view at the beach". The only issue that one may encounter -- as with any hammock -- is finding two trees set at the requisite distance from each other. So, unless 1) the beach has a lot of palm trees (ours don't have any), or 2) you carry along two strapping poles to bury deep in the sand; I can see this being used anywhere but on a camping trip or in your back yard. Unless you frequent a different place with lots of trees.As for packing it away with ease: The bag is part of the actual hammock, so you don't need to keep track of it; and I didn't have to do any special fold up to get it stored away. This is where "under one minute" is actually accurate. I timed myself, shoving the material into the bag. At the end of one minute, I had it packed; the cords wound and replaced on top, and closed up for the next use.This is a good quality hammock and competitively priced, so if you're looking to purchase one, I can highly recommend this one.

Good news is it is light weight, the bad news is it is lightweight....
Going in to our 6th year of scouting, we go through a lot of gear. Recently, we seem to burn through a lot of hammocks (and folding chairs, but that is a different story). So I am always on the lookout for a good hammock that meets a lot of different criteria including 1) affordability; 2) durability; and, 3) good/sturdy/safe design (at 220 pounds, I don't care to wake up at 3:00 am, on the ground, face to face with whatever nocturnal predator happens to be in camp).I am giving this hammock a cautiously optimistic 5 stars, at least until I have had it long enough to get a real handle on how durable it proves to be. The material feels very lightweight, and makes me wonder how it will stand up to abuse. On the flip side, it is great for summer time use because of the airflow. This unit easily folds into its own, attached bag along with the two cords, and is the right size for backpack or motorcycle.Suspension is pretty straight forward, each end of the hammock gathers directly into an S hook, and the cords are pre-knotted for a simple suspension. The cord strikes me as being on the smallish side, but my wife, who fancies herself as the rope guru, claims that since it is more akin to heavy duty parachord that it will be fine. Time will tell, although I still like the wider straps that are now available with more expensive hammocks or as after market add ons.This hammock also seems to slide into the price range I have come to expect for a hammock. Again, the big unknown here is whether there will be a trade off between weight/ease of set up and long term durability. For now, even though the hammock is a double, my guess is that I will use this one by myself so as not to test the outer limits of its long term durability. For backyard use, trips to the park, backyard camping for the kids, I think this should be a pretty good buy.This review is based upon a free unit provided by the seller in exchange for a fair and honest review.
