Comments about Byer Easy Traveller Hammock:

I got this hammock about a week ago and immediately took it out to test it. Some people on other sites say it is a bit hard and complicated with its micro-rope set-up. I disagree completely. You have an adjustable system that comes with the hammock and in my opinion is quite easy to set-up. Adjust the rope through metal toggle to your needed length, stick it through the loop on the other side of the rope and you're done. No need to go out and by a 20 dollar slap strap system. It is comfortable and you can lay either diagonally or horizontally. Packs up tight and when laying in it you can use the attached packing pouch as an odds-and-ins holder. Also, personally I would not go and buy one of these 60-70 dollar rain fly's. I am just using a cheap, waterproof, and lightweight tent footprint and using that as the fly. Same thing and a heck of a lot cheaper, probably lighter as well. Anyway, after using this I feel like paying the extra 15-20 dollars for an ENO is just paying for the cool logo. Get this one if you just want a good, lightweight hammock.

Comments about Byer Easy Traveller Hammock:

I just bought this hammock and ran home to immediately set it up in our yard (as we do with all our new toys!) and I love it! I can't wait to get it out on the trail. The rope/handles that come with it are super easy to use and the weighted handles make it easy to toss over a tree branch for us height-challenged folks! The only con I see in the future is that I will want to bypass the day-hikes and lay in the hammock and read instead!!!!!

Comments about Byer Easy Traveller Hammock:

This is great! I threw out my old couch and hung in the house. I am constantly in it! Only issue was the color; much darker than shown in picture. Basil is more olive green and what looks like cream is tanish/grey. No complaints though. Great buy!

Service and delivery comments:

Great service. Quick delivery!

Comments about Byer Easy Traveller Hammock:

This is terrific for backpacking (if you'll be in an area with plenty of trees). It is fully self-contained with ingenious and effective hanging hardware/cords. It is a great after you get camp set up -- to read, nap, or chat with friends. Every backpacker who's seen or tried ours has run off to buy one of their own. It is on the heavy side, but much lighter than any of it's competitors. Highly recommended for comfort-oriented hikers. We use it on overnight and day hikes. (Be prepared for arguments over who gets to use it though if you only have one.)

Comments about Byer Easy Traveller Hammock:

I got this hammock about a week ago and immediately went out to give it a try. Some people have said it can be a bit hard to set-up, but I think its quite easy. The adjustable toggles on it save you from having to go and buy a slap strap system. It is very light. Mine weighed in at 14 ounces. I am using a lightweight, waterproof tent footprint as a rain fly. I would highly recommend this hammock to anyone. In my opinion this is a great hammock that is equal to other more highly priced hammocks.

I love this hammock more than I do my bedroom matress. It's great for the campsite, relaxing while on the trail or in the backyard on a lazy afternoon.

Comments about Byer Easy Traveller Hammock:

Because of its inexpensive price, I wasn't expecting a whole lot out of it. I was surprised. It's great for in-between seasons when there is no need to worry about the insects. It's surprising strong and very light in weight.

Comments about Byer Easy Traveller Hammock:

I got two of these to try out. Once they arrived I ran outside to set em up. Which took me all of 2 mins. Where I live we get high wind gusts during this time of year, and today was no exception. Plus living up on the mountain gives me more wind than normal. Today's gusts were about 40 mph, but when I laid down in this it was AWESOME. Of all the things I've bought from REI this is my favorite. My wife and kids loved em too. (my wife is not an outdoors person). But told me to get online and buy two more so all of us can sleep in them on our next camping trip.
