This is a great review. I can tell you, when I got my Travel version the stitching was perfect, maybe they listened to you. I had the same question about the loops myself, they could be bigger but, I just cut an old arrow shaft in half and pack it. It weighs nothing and fits perfectly everytime. Only takes a minute to put a couple stitches in the two end loops. I wouldn't trade this hammock for anything, absolutely love it.
@Elenkhos appreciate the comment.. DD has the best design bar NONE! Hopefully they fix their prduction line and get that stitching problem and loops solved. For the 95 usa shipped you get a fair product. don't forget the hammock sleeves! In Woodland camo and good stitching it would be a 10/10 in "my" opinion.
@Elenkhos That's pretty hard to say. with or without bugnet? For what purpose? quality? best lay? For my size under 200lbs or for a bigboy rated 350 plus? I really like my 40 dollar Rothco Jungle hammock for price and normal lay. This DD hammock can be used in many ways and is lighter. Claytor Jungle Hammock feels the best and has better quality. The ajillis is more compact and lighter than all. Works well with rainfly after suspension changed.
@Elenkhos there are so many out there and it does become confusing. Hennessy and warbonnet make popular camping hammocks with gather ends...alot of people like them, I have tried both and like neither.. that's a personal choice and both are not made for survival in my opinion but for fun camping.
For a bug out bag this DD has become the one for survival. Design is excellent and double side zippers for either side exit is a big plus! Although I have issues with the thread comming out everyplace and the color does not blend as well. Which puts Claytor back on top with Woodland Camo and quality stitching.
