Also until 6/6 - free shipping on orders $25 or more for REI members.

These are some funky GTs and funky prices. Amazon is mucho cheaper for those searching.

Can anyone in the know recommend that woven cotton one? I'm thinking $40 for a casual home hammock doesn't sound too bad.

yeah, i just bought one of the gt's for like, 20 shipped. rei is rarely "cheap"

I think REI's free shipping (in this case) and generous return policy counts for a lot. Otherwise yeah, there are better deals out there most likely for just about anything you might buy.

Agreed. I have a rain jacket that I bought about 2 years ago, and never got much use for it until recently. When I did get use for it, I found that it wets through, and really is not a good purchase. I'll be returning it for a full refund. Can't beat that.

I am also curious about the $40 cotton hammock. Anyone with input?

Yeah - the cotton hammock is what I was looking at as well.
Does anyone have experience with that brand/model?
Seems like it might make a nice indoor hammock.

I have a very nice one but my ex-wife still has it at the moment. I am going over there in a little bit. I will see what brand it is for you.

SierraTradingPost also has a couple of cotton hammocks:
These aren't quite as big as the REI one (95x61")

78x52" $18.66

84x60" $34.95
http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,...a-Hammock.html

free shipping if you can find the riddle in the catalog and answer it
(I haven't found the riddle in this catalog yet)
