Just to follow up, I did sleep in this hammock last night. It was comfortable, but I did not like the blue 1 foot width extensions on each side blocking my view and that fabric tended to touch my face at times. Also, these sewed on width extender made it more difficult to exit the hammock. You have to get over the ridge it makes.
The bugnet was pretty good once I got used to the entrance and zipper. I did try it 2 ways. Once with the ridgeline above the bugnet as the video shows, and the 2nd time with a standard ridgeline on the hammock and inside the bugnet (bugnet resting on the ridgeline Fronkey bugnet style). Both ways worked, however the sewed on stuff sack was always dragging on the ground.
As a side note, I put this bugnet on a Dutch 11ft hammock with full length UQ and it fit nicely. The ridgeline was inside the bugnet 'Fronkey style'.
The heavy web/steel biner suspension was simple and fast to setup and adjust. It is heavy duty - solid.
When I packed up I kept the bugnet attached and stuffed the entire system back into the detached stuff sack (did not use either of the attached stuff sack). The youtube videos on this hammock system show what I experienced too.
It will never be my favorite go to system, but at $11.04 free shipping it was well worth the price and fun to mess with.
