Night Cat Flat Lay Hammock Tent with Mosquito Net Waterproof Rainfly for 1 Person Backpacking Hiking Camping Lightweight 330LBS 87x28x19in

Son loves it and that is all that matters! A bit more $$ than I was wanting to spend, so hoping it is worth it in the long run. We are hoping he will take it out soon and give it a "live trial" for camping, hiking and back country hunting in the Montana and Colorado mountains. He says it will definitely be more comfortable than a "cheaper" hammock. Weight is a little more then he was expecting which throws off his pack weight. Unsure of the durability at this time, hoping it lasts awhile. Assembly was ok, a bit awkward but maybe once he gets more used to it and comes up with what works best for him, it will get easier and fast. It is a tent, ultimately, so warmth is not an "option" but he has a great light weight, deep freeze bag so should be good to go. LOVES the under storage, however, we have excessive bear counts near us, so stringing up is 1st line of avoidance and non-edible storage underneath.

Weighing 3.2 pounds, it has an amazing functionality, and you can sleep anywhere. No need defined flat ground. Assembly takes about 10 minutes and once you get good at. It takes around 5, although on the pricier side, it's well worth the money and has good value. As I've taken this across the world camped with it in New Zealand and Australia, and it never ripped held up beautifully. The weight was a little heavy for backpacking, but I was able to do it with four months on the trail, so it wasn't too bad.

I was skeptical of the “lay flat” design of the hammock and the stability after reading some of the other reviews. After I set it up I was hesitant to just jump in as this is my first experience with a camping/ sleeping hammock. I have been in several other types but none like this. I was happily surprised with how stable it felt and how easy it was to get in and out of. I was comfortable and had no issues with set up since the design is fairly intuitive. The only reason I did not give five stars is due to the difficulty of zipping and unzipping the rain fly and bug netting is. I’m used to small one to two man tents but I have never had to scrunch up into a ball to shimmy down to one end to reach the zipper like I do in this hammock. I am sure I will work out a method for it but it was cumbersome to say the least as I am not a short person. For anyone who has an issue with stability use trees with some decent girth, 20+ inches diameter. This gets the straps to hold out wider and therefore more stable.

Great product. Almost sleeps flat when hanging, super comfy, and set up time is less than 10 mins once you get the hang of it. The company is fantastic! First night using it I entered the wrong way and flipped it, causing the rain flap to tear. I couldn't find a replacement and emailed the company. Within 3 days they replied and are sending me a replacement rain flap for free! Couldn't be more happy with this purchase.

Decent materials and design. It requires a very specific formation of trees to work well. If you roll in your sleep, you’ll likely roll into one of the sides as it will tilt even if it doesn’t flip completely.

I've used this about 3 times now and it's kind of hard to get set app to where it doesn't feel like you're gonna fall out of it if you can double wrap the supporting straps around the tree base. It really helps also if the trees are wide that really helps with stability. It's very comfortable to land I use a climate V-2. Sleeping Pad inside so comfy. it's perfect size For me i'm 6'1 about a hundred and eighty five pounds. I got this because I didn't want a traditional style hammock. Because it seems kind of awkward to land and I see a lot of complaints of being shaped like a banana. But this seems to be perfect for me. It is a bit heavy for backpacking. But I do mostly car camping so it's not really a problem. The package size is very small. It's actually smaller than my sleeping bag. Packed up, there is only one con that I can think of and it's the rainfly. It's extremely flappy and it doesn't seem to like be very tight around the top of the hammock, but it seems well made. The bottom is very heavy duty. I did get caught in a few very heavy thunderstorms. And I did not have any issue with getting wet inside the only moisture that I had Inside seems to be from either the condensation from breathing or something. But the top gets very wet. But I was camping in really cool conditions around 40° at night. I didn't get to see how well the bug net works. Because there was no bugs because it was so cold. But definitely an awesome little tent hammock thingy I really enjoy it

Really comfortable and easy set-up

I have friends who told me about using hammock tents but I wasn't thrilled by the idea of having sway-back all night trying to sleep. Then I found this. I've slept in this roughly 30 nights by now and I sing its praises to anyone who will listen. Everyone who sees it is enthralled by it and I love to show it off and explain it to people. It packs up small enough that it fits in the saddle bag of my motorcycle or I bring it in my pack on canoe trips. It takes a bit of time to set up and tear down, mostly just ensuring everything fits nicely into the bag, and it's a bit of a learning curve to get a consistent setup. There are ways to ensure it feels more stable. I actually bought and added two additional straps that I can daisy-chain onto the included lower straps so I can a) put it between trees that are further apart and b) do a full wrap of each tree - this provides greater stability. I'm 6'4" and 250lbs and the tent supports me well. The gear channel below the tent is brilliant, keeps everything off the ground and dry and it holds a lot. It has a ring inside that you can hang your lamp from if you're reading. It's stable and easy to get in and out of for me. The fly keeps it dry but it could use a bit better of a design to accommodate non-ideal set-ups. If the top straps are on too great of an upward angle or the trees are close together, you can't get the fly taught enough. The support bars that make it lay-flat are showing signs of permanent curvature but I'm not concerned about failure. I put a thin inflatable mattress pad in it under my sleeping bag which provides good insulation. I wake up in the morning feeling like I just slept in my bed. You can sleep on your back or either side...no stomach sleeping though. Love, love, love this tent. Highly recommended.

I have used my Nightcat Flatlay Hammock numerous times through the 2023 and 2024 camping seasons, and I definitely like it. I'm 6'2", 275lbs, and this thing supports me very well, even with a 75lb Pitty onboard, it feels very secure. I have purchased the underquilt for winter camping, and an offbrand tarp and poles just for extra rain projection. As it comes, I have not gotten wet, yet. I would suggest: Once one circles the tree with the lower straps, cross them over, so left strap goes to right side, right strap goes to left side. it definitely adds extra rigidity to prevent/eliminate any feelings of "flipping over" or "falling out". Fantastic sleep system. WARNING: like all tents, it is NOT flame proof, so embers from camp fires will make holes, Gorilla Tape and Super Glue are your best friends here. (Other reason for the extra tarping) I recommend this product.

It is far better than a hammock but it’s really hard to have actually stable, our (dog friend & me) second night was far better than the first because I really yanked on the side pulls. The instructions lack slightly as I’m still not sure I’m setting right. Also was way harder to find trees than I thought! (On a heavily forested hike) Would be worth carrying extra rope as a lot of the trees were so big I couldn’t loop the provided straps around them. Also think a ratchet strap would help, so we shall see how the next hike goes!! Definitely need some sort of mat or no slip matt to prevent the sleeping bag from sliding around all night. And a pillow. The handles inside were very helpful for repositioning throughout the night. Also helpful that I could shake the tent to scare the squirrels & chipmunks away from our stuff in the night, so no damage. The lower shelf was so great. Just be mindful of condensation.

I’ve had a chance to field test this a few times, and I have no complaints. It’s very well put together and comes with everything you need. The only thing I had an issue with was the tension on the stability straps, but that was on the first use. I now know to tighten them much more. Everything about this product is amazing. It’s not just a hammock, it’s a bivouac off the ground! The zippers are a great quality, the hammock is roomy, comfortable and has places to hang things (hooks at either end) and store things (interior pockets). And if that wasn’t enough, the added storage below the hammock will accommodate all your bigger items. I had my pack, tool, fishing rod and tackle box in it, and had room for more. I wish it had a compartment to throw a mat or other such thing in, as it does get cold fast, but it’s not a dealbreaker. I now use a smaller down filled bag, with a heftier down filled bag on top, and that is ample warmth. I say this as a resident of Northern Canada. Coldest night in it so far was 4degrees Celsius, and I was toasty. I can’t recommend this highly enough!
