Looking at getting a hammock for my girlfriend who has been obsessing with hammocks for weeks now.
Will be used primarily for recreational use, just hanging out with a book, maybe taking a nap, but if we really like it, we'll take it out camping this summer, so I don't want a rainbow hammock like pic related.
I'm considering the ENO DoubleNest, which I've heard lots of people sing high praises for, but others hate.
Also Grand Trunk Double (one website rated it the best double), and Kammok Roo (which is more expensive, but supposedly higher quality).
I'd appreciate any input you may have to offer!

Grand trunks are terrible, they rip after light use and aren't nearly as comfy as an eno

Do you know this from experience?
That's interesting, because this website ranks it among the best: http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Hammock-Reviews

Thank you for your input.

I got one of these 25 dollar eno bag knock offs from walmart. In the camping section. Used it about 15 times so far mostly camping. Has slept me plus a girl, and often me plus my dog. I weigh 150. Dog weighs 60. Girl probably weighed 130. No rips yet, and for the price, could get a new one.

You've slept two people in a hammock?
Amazing. I've heard that's next to impossible.

That's for the input. I ended up getting a Bear Butt+straps for about $50.
I figure if it sucks, they're money back guarantee will be nice and I'll try a Grand Trunk... or maybe not... but I might.
I'll let you guys sort that one out in the meantime.
