FYI- For fairness to the use of 550 cord, and the stretch issue...look at the trees bend, this is exacerbates the already existing sag issue with a dynamic style cordage. Again, a better static cordage is Dyneema or Amsteel for the suspension on a hammock.
+Adam Alford First, sorry for the late reply... I am thinking I would prefer this one, I am not familiar with the Texport version. After a bit of research I have found that for me, I like the Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter PRO. It is worth the extra 25$ compared to this one.
918Gear.com Well I ended up buying the snugpack and when I put it up the netting tore away from the loops. I returned it and ordered another so this time hopefully it works better.
Don't string the net too tight as that has been a problem on other product netting. Seems like stringing the net with bungee like the Skeeter Beeter is the way to go.
Most thorough and direct hammock review I've seen.
