I'd test it out though prior to the trip.

This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much. That makes sense! I really appreciate the videos and photos.

The Sag in the Paras was quite a bit (for me). If I hung the hammock at sitting height I would end up on the ground. I weigh in at a little over 200lbs.
Keep in mind that it’s a fairly wide hammock too.
The Ninox is their new product, I don’t know much about it other than reading posts. If it uses the same material as the Paras I’d guess it has a decent amount of stretch too. This is just me guessing on the Ninox, like I said, I have no experience with it.

Thank you so much for the insight. I have seen three or more videos saying the Ninox also has issues with sag. One showed the height before sleeping and the height the next morning. It was significant.I’m 185lb, so similar to you. I was interested initially in the Paras because of its size and overall the reviews talked of it being very comfortable. I’ll take this into consideration. Thank you again.
