I recently bought a Hennessy Hammock Backpacker Ultralight Asym hammock. I experimented with it in the backyard for about a week and then took it on a 6 night trip. The hammock is very comfortable. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The reason I am selling it is because I am using it for endurance mountain bike races and I've just decided to go with something a bit more minimal. The hammock comes with the original stuff sack, 1 inch tree webbing, and the rain tarp. The hammock sells for $190 new. I'd like to get $150 for it. Hammock is suitable for about 185 lbs I believe.
In cooler climates people can get cold in a hammock. It depends on the person, the wind chill, temperature, etc. Some have luck with closed cell foam pads inside the hammock. I did not like that option because it is difficult to get the pad to stay put throughout the night. I opted to purchase an underquilt from Jacks are Better. This is a down underquilt that secures to the under/outside of the hammock. It creates a warm pocket of air underneath you and makes a tremendous difference in comfort. I got the UQ on sale this summer for $150 and would like to get $125 for it. Again...nothing is wrong with it. It comes with the original stuff sack and I'll throw in the suspension system to attach it to the hammock (the suspension system sells for $10). UQ size is a regular and will fit someone up to 6'.
I also have a set of Snakeskins for this hammock. They allow you to set up and take down the hammock without it ever having to touch the ground. I think they sell for $20. Mine have never been used. I'd like $15.
PM me for questions.
