Camping Hammock Tent: Lightweight Portable 4 in 1 Hammock with Rain Tarp and Mosquito Net for Hiking Jungle Outdoor

Rain fly was not waterproof. Deal breaker. Update: so I wasn’t happy with the Hammock and decided to send it back. No biggie, just decided I’d stay with my tent. Shortly after I sent the hammock back, Night Cat contacted me without asking to see what was wrong with my product. I told them what happened and why I sent it back, expecting nothing in return. In fact, I didn’t even think to check my Amazon messages for 3-4 months after the return. When I did finally respond, they didn’t say anything about my delayed response, just picked up where the sale left off and worked to make things right. They sent me one of their two person tents to help make things right. The tent is great, waterproof, and lighter than my Kelty tent. Hard to say if the long term quality will match the Kelty, but it says a lot that Night Cat reached out to me and sent me a replacement product at no cost and without me having to contact them and ask for something. Most backpacking companies I’ve purchased gear from don’t reach out or try to make things right if a product doesn’t meet expectations. 10/10 would recommend based on the customer service. Also my hammock wasn’t 100% waterproof, but was super comfortable and would have been amazing in a dryer climate. Again, it speaks volumes the level of customer service in todays world of mass produced everything, especially since I dropped the ball several times getting back to them. Most companies would have not reached out at all or stopped trying after the first attempt at contacting the customer. 10/10 10/10 10/10

As an avid backpacker, I was interested in hammock camping so I purchased this to see if I would be able to sleep on multi night hikes. I quickly found that it is very easy to set up (about 3 minutes) and it was very comfortable. It was concerned about the banana effect on my back until I learned that it works better when you lay offset from the centerline allowing you to lay flat. I was impressed with the built in sleeve for my inflatable mattress. One of the nights out, I woke up to a very heavy sustained rain. My instinctive thought was to get up and check for flooding.. then It occurred to me that it didn’t make a difference because I was not on the ground. The built in rain fly worked flawlessly and kept me dry all night long. I enjoyed being able to look out through the bug net and just watched the rain on the lake that I was at. I now own multiple hammock setups for camping, each costing a lot more money but for the price of this unit, compared to all of the others at $300 to $600 dollars.. this one was definitely worth every penny as not only does it work well, but it also taught me what details that I was looking for prior to diving in deeper with more expensive units. I have used it on about 12 trips and the material has held up without a single problem. I did order snake skins for it for ease of deployment and packing.

So overall I am very pleased with this 3-1 Hammock Tent. I set this up in my backyard the day I got it to insure I had everything I was supposed to have and everything was intact. Setup was easy, although I took my time to make sure I was going about it the correct way so it was about 1/2 hour…but again, initial setup with other things I was simultaneously, observing and learning. I am going camping ip in Western NC (Pisgah) and wanted to make sure I had it all correct. So here is my Pro/Con List which I hope you’ll appreciate. Fortunately my “Cons” are not make or break, but rather design engineering flaws I know they could’ve done better on: PROS: 1.) Versatile: it’s a 4 in 1 Hammock. I love the fact that you can use this as a simple hammock, a hammock with mosquito netting, and/or the full package with a rainfly (which incidentally I went ahead and scotch-guarded just to be on the safe side to include the bottom of the hammock should in need to set up on the ground). I also love that you can set this up as a ground bivy tent when no trees are available. That’s HUGE to have that in your back pocket as an emergency scenario option or just if you feel like tent camping 2.) Durability: this is surprisingly durable. I am 6 feet 285 pounds. When I got in the hammock, it held me solidly. I had no fear of it ripping or falling apart. This is just something I’m going to have to keep an eye on overtime. But I think with proper care and washing it out. Every time I use it should prolong its life for a good while. 3.) Setup: Very simple. Instructions are available should you forget, but you can easily figure it out. 4.) Compact: Comes in an “all in one” zip bag and total weight not too heaven…about 5-6 lbs. Grest for bike packing but maybe not for backpacking…that’s a judgement call…(side note…I wish the smaller bags inside main bag dedicated to tent stakes etc, were pull string and not ghetto tie string)…but, whatever. CONS: (Again not deal breakers but worth noting and caused them to lose a star) 1.) Securing strings and tent stakes. WHY-WHY-WHY did you only include TWO (2) Flex Strings and Tent stakes when you have FOUR (4) TIe-Down Points???!!! Suffice to say, I immediately went out and got Two (2) more stakes and used my 750 Paracord as tie down strings for the other two corners. Now the hammock is more flattened with ZERO accidental turnover possibility. 2.) Rain-Fly Engineering and Design: There are BO GROMMET holes for the Rainfly cover!!! WTF Over???!!! You have them for the tent Ron’s to go into, but not a second grommet hole on the furthest end of the hammock strap for the rainfly to sit into. I literally have to tuck the rainfly and pull it down over the bivy rods hoping that the rainfly won’t creep back up over time while I’m in it or rocking the hammock. POOR DESIGN FLAW FOR OMITTING THAT OUTSIDE GROMMET HOLE FOR THE RAINFLY 3.) Straps: Hammock straps are very good and look durable. However, they are not very long, and force the user to stretch the strap to its weakest potential if it has to be set up over a wider area between trees. The straps could easily be about 2-3 feet longer. Simple fix…get longer straps at W/M or wherever. So to summertime…overall very pleased The CONS that I mentioned agsin, are no deal breakers (at least for me) by any means, BUT certainly worth mentioning. For those small cons I took off One (1) Star for and install rating of FOUR STARS **** Lastly, again, consider scotch guarding prior to use. Just to make sure rain fly is completely water and impermeable. Wow! This is got to be the longest review I ever wrote. But I think well worth it, and hopefully will help you in making your decision as to whether or not this hammock tent is worth getting.

Super great product. Has the power and functionality to get you resting quick! Fully recommend this and it has worked great since I've owned it. Still going strong in the durability and design looks like it will keep it going strong for many years. Highly highly recommend buying this. Will work in Kuwait, Iraq, UAE, and Saudi. Good for Camps around the CENTCOM area! Can have you operating like a night cat fast and in a hurry. You should buy this immediately if not sooner.

Easy to build, and comfy!

So this thing has been fun to have. Used regularly for camping. Nothing like rocking to sleep and having the breeze keep going. Happy with the purchase and a lot of bang for the buck.

Second night of use... bug net pole snapped in a rain storm... that morning was so mad threw everything away

I took this to a hike-to primitive site in Florida. It is lightweight and very easy to set up! Just be sure to have enough space between the trees to make it nice and taught so when you're inside lying, your back isn't curving. And be aware that before you pin the guy lines in the ground, the hammock will try to flip upside down. It's normal and the guy lines will stop that. I put them (2 included) on opposite corners and it was no issue. I love that there are 2 hoops inside it, on each end, to hang a light or whatever you want to suspend. Also has a pouch in there for storage. Tying/rolling the flaps up to keep the rain fly open was kind of weird but maybe I didn't know how to do it properly. I absolutely love it and will always sleep in it if I have a place to hang it. I haven't used it as a ground tent yet. IF YOU'RE CONTEMPLATING GETTING THIS, GO FOR IT!

Best compact tent I’ve owned

Práctica.

I've had it out a few times, and it's been great. On the ground its pretty small, but if you use it as a hammock there's plenty of space. I love that I can use it as a small hooch shelter if there's no good trees to hang it from though. The material seems durable enough, I haven't had any problems with zippers or clasps yet. It's pretty light weight, and packs down small.

Easy to set up, would recommend putting the ropes further off the ground if your heavier. I'm about 105kg at 6 foot tall and found the tent to be sturdy but hangs lower than other comparable tents. Only problem I have is that when setting up the guide poles can invert and it's annoying to have to put the hammock down to out them back. Easy fix with a bit of string/cord. Would recommend. Is a tad heavy if your going on thru hikes ECT.

I love this, it's very comfortable with a pillow under your head, and under your knees. It could use a little bit more support.
