Not lightweight....but...cheap hammock/bag. - 06/18/08 12:54 PM

I was searching the posts to see if anyone has used/reviewed the High Peak 'Panda' sleep system. It's a center zip mummy bag that doubles as it's own hammock. Heavy at 4.5 pounds and none too small when packed - but knowing myself like I do, I'd probably put straps on it and turn it into a 'Gearskin-like-thing' anyway...

A discount shop is clearing them out cheap, so I thought I'd get someone's impression who's tried one before I plop the money down.

With my Hennessy and my homemade, I don't really need another hammock, and at 4.5 pounds, its twice the weight of my homemade hammock and quilts...

...but for the price, it may be a good backup, experiment, or maybe just camping.
