Byer® Moskito Traveller Hammock offers a cocoon of comfortable, insect-free space.

Fine mesh is supported by shockcord to keep it up and off your face and body; bottom is made of extremely strong and durable parachute nylon
If protective mesh is not needed, simply turn the hammock over and enjoy the Moskito as a regular Traveller
Attached storage bag doubles as a handy pouch for a flashlight, keys and more

This hammock hangs loosely and deep in the center, designed for you to lie diagonally, ''the Brazilian way.'' Your back stays straight and you can relax, sleep and dream for hours in ultimate comfort.

Note: hanging system sold separately. A flexible connection such as a carabiner clip, S-hook or shackle should be used between the hammock eye and the attachment point to avoid chafing.

Imported.

After a 6 nights hiking 62.4 miles the Hammock worked great - when it started to rain we throw a trap over and went to sleep.

Comments about Byer Moskito Traveller Hammock:

Not a bad hammock for the price, but the net is a worthless option. I just turn it over and avoid the net altogether.

Good "light duty" hammock

Comments about Byer Moskito Traveller Hammock:

I took this with me to Belize and used it on the beach. Haven't used the screen part yet (the breeze kept the bugs down). You can just flip it over and use it without the screen.

It has a 250lb rating, and they mean it. The strings get twisted up and tangled a bit, but that happens with hammocks.

Make sure you set it up high enough that you don't drag the screen on the ground in "non-screen mode."

My friend's kids liked it. You just can't keep kids out of a hammock!

I weigh 190 pounds, and the first time I carefully climbed into this hammock, it ripped, and I fell out. I would only recommend this hammock for people under 100 pounds.

Comments about Byer Moskito Traveller Hammock:

I bought this hammock several years ago and have never regretted it. This thing is light and fast to string up. For summer camping/backpacking (where you know you will have trees present), this thing cannot be beat. Like a previous reviewer, I simply throw a poncho over my hammock anytime I expect rain --the added cover helps keep things a little warmer on cool nights, too.

I can see how some buyers might be hesitant in regards to this product's durability, but be realistic. This hammock is made out of parachute nylon … maybe you shouldn't be dragging it around across rocks. I have always treated my hammock with care and have never had problems with cords knotting up. For the last several years, there have been times that I have slept in this hammock for weeks at a time. Often, I tell people that this is one of the best buys that I have made for the price.

Comments about Byer Moskito Traveller Hammock:

I have used this hammock on the Appalachian Trail through the entire state of Georgia and half of North Carolina. I have used it year round with a Thermarest pad for insulation in the winter. I am now living in Jinotega, Nicaragua and use this hammock for 5 or more day trips up the Rio Cocco (the northern border with Honduras) and it continues to serve me very well. I weight 160lbs and have no troubles with this hammock at all. I use it with Eno straps and a Hammock Bliss rain tarp and it sets up in about 5 to 10 minutes depending on terrain. I love that the carry bag is sewn onto the side of the hammock, it makes a perfect place to store my headlamp so that it is always close at hand. There is also a mesh pocket sewn into the inside of the mosquito net that can be used for storage. There is a mesh loop in the top of the net where I hang a light weight LED light for reading or what have you. This hammock is light weight, inexpensive and tough, I highly reccomend it!

Comments about Byer Moskito Traveller Hammock:

I bought this as a way to overnight ANYWHERE I want without regard to rocky or uneven terrain. Of course it filled the bill. However, I have taken this on a lot of hikes into the colder months and used it successfully. Down to mid-20s with mild winds. With a combination of my Noah Tarp, Thermarest 2.5 in pad, and sleeping bag, I am warm and very comfortable in this hammock. It is the best night sleep I get when in the outdoors. It is light weight, yet strong enough for me (200lbs of me and sleeping stuff). The only downside is that it is delicate but mosquito nettings and nylon inherently is.

Great Hammock, but be careful

Comments about Byer Moskito Traveller Hammock:

I bought this hammock after reading the reviews. Several reviewers said this is an excellent hammock to get if you are thinking about getting into hammock camping, and they are absolutely right. There were also some reviews that speak to the durability of the netting. I personally did flip the hammock over one time when learning how to adjust myself while in it, and I can say that the netting did in fact rip. I weigh about 200 pounds and would not expect this fine mosquito netting to hold that much weight. My point is that you have to be careful. I would recommend flipping the hammock over like the description says when learning to get in, adjust, and get out of this hammock. Overall, I was very pleased. This is a very comfortable hammock and quite durable in general.

Comments about Byer Moskito Traveller Hammock:

I got this bad boy just to see how I liked sleeping in a hammock, expecting to buy a new more expensive one if I liked it. I have slept in it 6 to 8 times and spent a lot of time just laying in it reading and it works great. Easy to set up with some webbing and 'biners and fits me well (5'8" 140 lbs). The loops that hold the net ripped on me but I fixed it with duct tape so that's not that sweet. For the price I paid I am quite satisfied with this hammock. It gives me good nights of sleep and keeps the mosquitoes out. The cocoon is often hard to leave, especially on chilly mornings. I plan on using it for a while yet.
