So far so good! The price is amazing for this tent/hammock! its very spacious inside and gives you the luxury of fine-tuning how tight or loose you want it at different spots by adjusting the little strings on the sides. It's much more comfortable than traditional hammocks and it sets up pretty quick once you get the "hang" of it ;)  This is hammock camping at another level for sure. You can sleep above rocks, streams, logs, on the side of a hill, over anything or anywhere, just find two trees. If you can't find two trees you can use it as a tent which is not as spacious but still works great. Yes, it's much heavier than a traditional camping/backpacking hammock at 4.25lbs, but if you are willing to sacrifice having some more weight for comfort, this is so worth it. I do use a sleeping mat for insulation and even more comfort. The only reason it does not get 5 stars from me is because of the rain fly. It works great, no rain gets in, it's just that you can't see anything which is why I'm out in the great outdoors, I want to see nature! But you are essentially cocooned in. Also, if it suddenly starts to rain you will be pretty wet before you get the rain fly on unless you already planned ahead and had it on half way when you first set it up. I am planning on making my own rain fly out of clear, heavy duty painter's tarp (super cheap at Home Depot or Lowes), black duck tape and some paracord. You can always just buy an already made one too. This hammock would be PERFECT if they had the ridge line style rainfly. I use the SOLITUDE Hammock Tree Straps System with it which I highly recommend. I will update this review with pictures after a few more adventures and once I make my clear rainfly.  Let me know if you have any questions.

I bought this for an upcoming music festival with the intentions of just abandoning it there, and let me tell you it is a super nice tent for the price. It is very easy to build, I set it up in my living for for a dry run and it took 5 minutes by myself.

It also fits in a medium sized roller suitcase if you need it for travel.

For the price, this thing is a steal. Now lets just hope it is rain proof!

Initial impressions:

Overall I am impressed with this tent. I have been using a 3 season Big Agnes tent for about 17 months. I wanted to get a 4 season tent since I'll be spending a lot of time camping this winter in some yucky conditions. This tent seems pretty high quality for the price. I like the feel of the tent poles snapping together and the many different options for your comfort. I am certainly impressed by all the internal covers of windows and vents to seal in the heat. The real test of the tent, of course, will be in the backcountry. I am headed out in Yosemite for 5 days starting today and will update this with my initial feelings of the tent and materials.

Pros-
All vents zip closed
Material seems nice
Buckles and zippers seem quality
Pole system feels high quality
Lots of room (more than anticipated)
Great price! (My 3 season Big Agnes was 2x price)

Cons-
Twice as heavy as my Big Agnes
Doesn't pack as small
More complex to set up than my Big Agnes

About me: I am an avid hiker and backcountry camper. I recently gave up my apartment and material items to hike continuously in preparation for hiking the PCT in 2017. I usually spend 20-25 days a month hiking and camping right now. As for the tent, it is my only means for shelter and therefore will be put to the test!

Update:  My first trip of 50 miles in 4 days and over a snowy 11,000 foot mountain peak in Yosemite gave me more insights.

First, the tent is extremely bulky and doesn't pack very small. I'm thinking I might be able to use a couple compression packs. Second, the poles that go inside the rain fly are difficult to insert and remove. All but one time I even had at least one tip end of the poles come out and need to be reinserted (this was a pain). Third, this tent is VERY roomy. Wow. I was super impressed. It feels like a hotel room compared to my other tent.

The tent material seems to hold up well so far. I'll update this post when I have more.

We bought this hammock b/c we wanted to make sure we really would use it before we spent more money on a nicer hammock.  However this has been a great hammock for a great price.  It seems well made and is quite comfortable.  We've had this up for about a month now and really have no complaints.  The kids and I enjoy storytime in it just about every day.  We wanted a rope hammock so we could leave it up all the time and it would dry quickly after rain and wouldn't collect a lot of debrise from the trees.  I am quite happy with that decision.

I wasn't expecting much for the price but this is a nice hammock. I am a big guy, and this supports me with ease.

I won one of these on eBay for $70.00 shipped. Such a deal! It's a great tent. I set it up in my driveway when I got it two weeks ago, and I have been basically living in it ever since. it's very pleasant in here except when it's terribly hot. Sort of an extended pre-field test, I suppose. I have a couple of chairs and a little table and an air mattress and a good pedestal fan, and my laptop for entertainment. It's a lot of space for one person- would be great for two to four to camp in, and more if they're just hanging out, eating, etc.

 Although this tent seems primarily aimed at folks who want to use this as an extra living space, I see no reason why you couldn't use it as your primary shelter(as I am right now), as it's basically a normal tent without a floor. I have been out here during some pretty major thunderstorms and I can tell you that this is an AMAZINGLY dry tent, considering it's just a "screenhouse." The window flaps do not zip, and this concerned me at first, but I've had little or no leakage due to this. However, the flaps are secured by means of loops and pegs,and the loops can wick water in and drip a bit. I haven't seen any need to do any extra sealing or waterproofing on this tent, but I think I might shoot these loops with some seam sealer and see if that helps.

The no-floor part may be a deal-breaker for those who might be terribly concerned about creepy-crawlies, Jake the Snake, or what-have-you. True, I have a few miscellaneous bugs in here, but nothing horrible, and the skeeters and ticks don't seem to want to sneak under the walls, and that's my big concern. Now, I will say this- if you have one of these and set it up on a hard surface, expect to have water flowing in under your feet- there's nothing to keep it out, and for some reason I didn't initially consider this, until the first good rain came. So now I have a couple of tarps to serve as a floor, with the edges sort of turned up so as to keep the water at bay. Works quite well! I'm fairly sure that if the tent was set up on the actual ground it wouldn't have such drainage issues, or not to such a degree. Also, the tent should probably be guyed, as the directions suggest, which I have not done.....which leads me to the NEGATIVE ASPECTS of this tent, which are few.

First, it is difficult to set up. No, really it is. I'm usually skeptical when people say that sort of thing in reviews- but I'm a believer as far as this thing is concerned. The directions are simple- too simple. Basically, you put some poles in some sleeves, attach some more poles, and you're set. Yeah, right. The directions should warn you that you are about to be extremely frustrated, then extremely exhausted. The sets of poles on the ends neither look nor seem as if they're going to fit the tent. Well, they do, but only after you're certain you're about to rip your new tent in half due to the stress that's put on the fabric during the assembly process......The directions recommend using the included guy lines, but they don't really say where they're supposed to go, and with a tent shaped like this it's not really intuitive. The crummy photos in the instruction pamphlet really should be replaced with line drawings with more detail. Also, Kelty should be ashamed of their ludicrous tent stakes. They're REALLY soft aluminum. Just junk. They're not even as good as the stakes that come with Texsport tents, which aren't supposed to be as high-end as Kelty- so get some decent stakes before you head out.

All in all, this is a great tent, with quality construction, lots of room, and great ventilation. It's very waterproof, and although it's not easy to set up it's very stable even in nasty weather. If it weren't for the setup difficulty, the crappy directions and the seriously deficient stakes I'd give this a perfect rating, but as it is I'm very happy with it, especially at the bargain price I paid. But if you're looking for an easy setup this one's not for you.

This hammock is as good as it gets... I saw a famous ENO hammock at Cabelas yesterday and I guess it feels a little more soft to the touch... but I don't expect to be half naked when camping.

That said, the price for the Hammock + long straps are extremely good.

The hammock is pretty large and comfortable. I have tested it in my basement and it is simple to setup or pair with other products... such as the Snugpak Cocoon (for those going to camp in not so warm weather).

My first 4-season tent, and it's great!  It took at most 10 minutes to pitch from footprint to wind cover, so I'm not ever going to be worried if I need to pitch it in a rush regarding weather or creeping darkness. And it was lightweight at about 4 lbs, perfect for backpacking--which is what I'm looking for.  The aluminum poles had useful nipple-ends that helped the tent lock into the footprint and better secure the tent to the footprint, which made pitching much faster--poles attach to hooks rather than cloth sleeves--again, faster pitching!  I'm a tall guy, and the tent length fits me just from head-to-toe, much more room when lying on the diagonal (if solo).  The vents on the rain cover were a welcome addition to the package; which made it so much more comfortable. Hook at the top of the tent was perfect for a small lantern.  Breakdown/repack was as quick as setup.  I didn't get to test the waterproofing (clear night), but I've heard great reviews regarding the waterproofing.  The only issue (and it's minuscule) was the lack of nylon pockets along the inside of the walls for storage--the ad said there were pockets along the egresses, perhaps I missed them?  A small nylon bag will resolve this, of course. If anyone else noticed the same flaw, I recommend they respond as well.
Overall, great tent for an awesome price! Very High Recommendation!

So far so good.  Two nights in clear, but near-freezing weather and this was a cozy domicile for two adults and a small dog.  Assembly is fun and quick.  I had my doubts about the sturdiness of individual components but the assembled tent is solid and benefits from flexibility when stressed.  At this price point it would be hard to beat.  I'm not giving this 5 stars because it's a great tent...I'm giving it 5 stars because it's a great tent for under forty bucks.

It is the right price, so why would I pass up the extra cover?  I do not expect it to last five years, especially if it is outside all of the time!  Hammocks don't, so why would this?

Happy with what we purchased!

I like the Hammock for the price I paid. It is very portable. It does take a few tries to get your balance in place :)

Five stars for the price. I like the excellent ventilation and view on all four sides. I protect the floor with a tarp under and a canvas drop cloth over. I also use 4.5" Everbilt Movealls to protect the floor from cot and chair legs. The door zipper can stick if I'm not careful. I don't use the gear loft but do hang an electric lantern from the central hook. I pitch it under a 16' x 16' Kelty Noah's Tarp so I can't comment on it's waterproofness. I make sure it's clean and dry before storing.

Update 6/17/2018
After 9 week-long camping trips it's still going strong. BTW - I attach the fly before raising tent, so it's an easy 1-person set-up.

I'm preparing for a camping trip to the Rocky Mountains this summer. I bought this tent because it was in my price range and it seemed like a good size. When I bought it, I set it up in my living room. It took less than 10 minutes to set up  by myself (without reading the directions). I really like the top, it can be removed so that you may sleep under the stars. I bought the 3 person tent for 2 people (so we wouldn't be smooshed together). It was large enough for me (5'8) and my husband (6'2) to lay down comfortably with room to spare. I really like the shoe tarp too.

I haven't tested it against the elements yet. I'm still going to go over it with a sealer, water repellent and bug spray for maximum comfort. I will update after the trip.

One nice hammock for the price! There are no downsides to this one. My bars arrived thick and a nice dark mahogany. Just very pleased with price, make and delivery.

I was initially a bit dubious about this product as the price seemed too good to be true.  My concerns were happily misplaced.  I took my my hammock out for a few days of field testing and it was more than sufficient.  I especially like the interior pockets on the netting.  Everything seems to be of high quality and I did not see any apparent wear due to loose stitching after several nights.

I absolutely love this thing! I'd been wanting a hammock for our backyard for months and I couldn't pass up the steal on Prime Day. I got the brown striped designed to match the rest of our outdoor decor and it's great! My husband had it set up within minutes. It's great!

Great hammock, the material is nice and light weight. It is great to use for lounging around, studying, camping etc. It is super easy to set up. Its on sale so it's worth the $40! PLUS it comes with straps! The straps alone are normally $30. Great deal!
