I have Amazon Prime, so getting this Swift-n-Snug Hammock was quick at only 2 days for delivery.

There are a few color options available, but I picked this orange/gray color in case I needed to use it in an emergency situation — like getting lost or stranded somewhere during a hiking or camping trip. I figured that the orange color stands out enough to alert others from an elevated position (like an air rescue team searching from above) or flagging others on the ground. I got this tested on the wooded area in our property, and the orange color does stand out, which is what I wanted in the first place.

The hammock itself was made for portability. In it’s folded position inside the storage bag, it is only about 8-inches long, about 5-6 inches in diameter. The storage bag has a drawstring and lock to tighten the bag as needed. By the way, the storage case is attached and sewn into the hammock itself, so there will be no worries about losing it. I don’t know about you, but that is important to me because I’ve misplaced some carrying cases in the past.

Included are also 2 carabiners which appear to be very strong.

Setting up the hammock was not very difficult. Just find 2 appropriate branches/tree trunks within an appropriate distance, tie ’em up and you’re done! Getting into the hammock is the fun part (I’m sure you’ve seen hilarious home videos of people getting into and falling out of their hammocks). I’m glad I didn’t have that issue and was able to settle in just fine. At first, I was worried that it might not hold my weight as I attempted to get in — as it appears to be made of lightweight material, but surprisingly the lightweight hammock held up pretty good without any tears (to my relief!). According to their website, the hammock can hold up to 400 lbs. The hammock is lightweight (for portability and ease of drying), but made of durable nylon material. The included rope is also durable.

What I like about the hammock is that I have more than enough room to wiggle. In fact, I was able to wrap the material around to cover me completely from the top– which is really useful if there are a lot of mosquitoes/bugs, as it provides an additional barrier.

I can definitely see myself bringing this on a backpacking, camping, or hiking trip. For now, it is good for relaxation out in the woods on our property.

The Swift-n-Snug Hammock is currently available on Amazon for $39.99 with FREE shipping. It comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee as well, so there’s nothing to lose.
