Gold Armour Camping Hammock - XL Double Hammock Portable Hammock Camping Accessories Gear for Outdoor Indoor with Tree

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband, but honestly we both love it so much that it feels like I’m the one benefitting from it. I purchased it for a steal during Black Friday but would have paid full price if the sale hadn’t been available. We use it to hammock in the backyard, at the park, and under the beach board walk. Once we go to a less tropical climate we intend to use it for lounging on hikes and when camping as well. The hammock is very easy and quick to set up and take down, feels very secure, and has a great selection of colors available. The attached bag carries all parts and is compact enough, but would likely be too bulky if you’re backpacking and carrying all supplies in one bag. Regarding quality, it feels comparable if not better than more expensive portable hammocks. Undeniably it’s nicer than what’s available at sports stores I’ve looked into. My husband commented that it would likely increase the lifespan of the fabric if it had a ripstop design similar to what Eddie Bauer uses. We always take any keys or pocket knives out of our back pockets before getting into it just in case. As far as comfort, it is equally comfortable compared to other hammocks I have used. On colder days, a coat or blanket goes a long way to keep your butt and back from getting cold. The sides block wind well even if you have two people inside. I wouldn’t recommend sleeping overnight in it because I don’t like the way hammocks support my spine when I sleep, but if you’ve slept in one before and enjoy it this one does fine. It was also easy enough to get in and out of when 9 months pregnant as long as it wasn’t hanging too high. The amount of weight this hammock can hold is no joke. As a household of two adults of an averaged height of 6’ with healthy but muscular weight, the hammock always feels secure. It can also hold two adults and an infant. Considering the time it takes to grow a family, we have not been able to test further than two grown ups and a baby yet. I trust however that as long as your family’s combined weight is under the limit though the hammock would hold. I also appreciated the fact that the hammock seemed to come from a US small business. That type of thing matters to my family. All in all: I love it and it was worth it, but I wouldn’t use it for overnight sleep or to hike the Appalachian. Preggers approved. Read more

This hammock is the double. It was plenty roomy, as seen in the photos I've added, to put your mat sideways and sit viewing out from the horizontal position or at an angle. Both positions give you a lot of room. I used a caraboner clip to attach my canteen bag and a stuff sack to the line through my bug net sleeve. I was able to keep plenty of things next to me (a book, an arm rest pillow, a travel neck pillow, a drinking canteen, and moist towlettes) and have room to move around. I recommend adding the bug net. It worked really well to keep comfortable through the night from mosquitos and I climbed in after cooking to eat and avoid the meat bees that come after you for your steak and hamburgers. The material looks quality and I hung the nest pretty high in one trip but climbing in it did not tear or have any quality issues pulling myself in from about 3- 3.5 feet up. Which worried me at first. The material is lightweight and the tripple stitching is great. I was uncertain about the detached bug net style at first but many people complained about bug nets that rip from the seam of an attached hammock and so all things considered this net is roomy durable and optional with the plus of not having to worry about it making the hammock itself overly delicate. The bug net and hammock were both easy to set up and easy to take down. I had no problems getting these back into their stuff sacks and was glad the sacks are attached for convenience. I went with this company because it's hard to find American companies these days. I paid a little more to buy local. I am from sacramento and was glad to not only buy American but San Francisco. These pictures were taken about 2 hours from the bay in Shast Trinity Forest McCloud River and Ellery Creek. It was beautiful and my whole trip was comfortable thanks to my Gold Armour. Read more

5 stars period. This company makes excellent products. Hammock butt (cold and wet sensation on your butt when laying in a hammock) is very real though... Rather than buying an underquilt, I considered what I had and decided to use my emergency wool blankets and tarp clips. One under, one over (that I lay on). Flip the hammock inside out and over for your underquilt. Then reverse that and do one clip at a time for your wool on the inside. Fair weather, all you need. Otherwise, just have a 3rd blanket. This can of course be done with lighter material than wool but I prefer my aged, soft, and temperature regulating durable wool. About their hammocks themselves, this is my second I've owned (I didn't replace my original, this one just fills a different function) and they are both cherished items. This one and a bugnet variation. I'm SOLD on hammock camping and will never sleep on the ground again unless I just feel like practicing tolerating discomfort. Zero issues and tons of enjoyment. A big thank you to Gold Armour for making a great AND affordable product! Read more
