The Hennesy Hammock A-Sym is a great choice for bike packing. It’s lightweight, you don’t need a sleeping pad and it sets up in minutes. THe only drawback could be trying to set it up in a desert environment, or any area with a lack of trees…you might have to get creative. But it packs up tiny, and you will sleep well!
i tested these in the philippenes… Whatever anyone tells u, whatever u read, they are NOT waterproof. Not not not not waterproof. Not in severely watery conditions.
when buying the hennessey please don’t skimp, buy the undercover too as you’ll freeze without it.
otherwise i love it.
I thought 30 D silicone nylon was supposed to be waterproof.
I have used one of these for several trips and it is indeed waterproof as I have had no problem and have been very satisfied.
Maybe what the gentleman was speaking on was condensation? Maybe he got a faulty one?
Myself, and two of my friends went and stayed at Davison river near Pisgah forest, for 3 days it rained, and no one got wet, so… I D K…
no rain on me, in mine, in t-storms for 2-3 days of weekend trips.
dry, comfy. and with the right gear at the right time of year, warm too.
I think I’m returning mine. I like to change positions, sleep on my side, etc and this is very difficult to do in this hammock. If you are comfortable in one position all night then this might work for you. I also found it extremely difficult to get into my liner then my bag while in this hammock. It’s nice for relaxing in, napping or reading a book away from the bugs but I couldn’t sleep comfortably all night. Seems like a great idea and I love how light and compact the whole setup is, it just didn’t work for me.
