    Hammeck Envy!

    So I was unfortunate enough to have my Hammeck Netty stolen after only owning for two days. My luck turned however when the Meck's offered to let me be the first one to try their new offering the Envy! This is their top of the line, removable bugnet/ outer cover hammock. And I have to say I love it!

    I'm a bigger guy (6'4" 280) so I went with the 11' DL options with a bishop bag mod. I'm also a huge Memphis Grizzlies fan, hence the non-standard colors. The colors weren't offered by Hammeck or their normal custom color provider ripstopbytheroll, so we had to order from QuestOutfitters. It added a bit of wait time, but the Mecks kept me up to date on all happenings the entire time. (During my original Netty order, David answered an e-mail on Easter Saturday within thirty minutes!)

    The hammock was super comfortable all weekend. I fell asleep faster than I do in my bed at home! He included toggles, but I used wire-gate biners in their place. Honestly, I will probably upgrade to the Dutchbuckles.

    I also have to note that I love the placement of the closures on the Envy. The zipper closures are placed so that I only had to manipulate one zipper to get enter/exit. The foot end would stay zipped up and I could close the head end without having to sit up. Hooray Innovation!
    ,
    Alright, what you all have been waiting for the photos! I don't have a photo of the outer cover, it was 80 degree lows in Tennessee that weekend.

    Hey Che, thanks for the great review! We're really happy that you like it! Also, welcome to the forums!

    EDIT: Also, for those wondering, the cover in the photos is called the "Peak Cover" (for now, possibly going to change). This is just a typical solid cover. We also offer a "Peek Cover" which offers a zippered/netted window at the head end of the hammock to PEEK out of. We do not yet have any pictures, but they should be going up on our site in the next week or so.

    Nice looking hammock. I recently purchased a hammock from Hammeck and had it shipped to a priest friend for helping us out with Mass. The quality of the hammocks and the service offered by David and family is top-notch. Will buy more in the future as the need arises.

    Happy hanging.

    man, I'm thinking the mods should make a hammeck sub-forum!

    I just ordered an Envy myself. Looking forward to it. This will be my 4th hammock, these things are like Lay's potato chips, can't just have one.
