Haven Tents Lay Flat Hammock Tent - Waterproof Tent & Camping Hammock with Mosquito Net - Includes Insulated Pad and Rainfly - Haven Tent, Haven XL, Haven Safari

This tent is not that heavy to carry but I don't hike so it's probably not a good hiking hammock. It is a nice size and actually looks like a tent on the inside with the rain guard on. It doesn't come with instructions except on how to inflate the mattress with the bag. Don't worry though it does have a youtube video and isn't that hard to figure out if you play with it. I was able to comfortably lay on my stomach, side, and straight on my back. It is definitely high quality materials and the free gifts are adorable. It pays for itself already and I haven't even slept in it. There is a TON of storage places. All in all it is a great product that works as advertised. I HIGHLY recommend this tent especially if you're a full time hammock person like me.

This is as close to perfection in outdoor sleep systems as I've ever experienced. Super easy setup, the mattress pad inflates in just a minute even if you blow it up by mouth, the rainfly is completely effective at keeping the foul weather out, lots of pockets for all of your stuff, and OH MY GOD what a comfortable sleep! I'm 55, not such a youngster anymore, and my mind will normally push my body way past its limits and stiffness and soreness are usually the result. Tents, even with air mattresses, are one of the things that normally bring out the worst of those aches and pains. On my first camping trip this year, I spent 6 nights in the deep wilderness in this hammock tent, and woke up TOTALLY PAIN-FREE every morning! I turn often in my sleep, and no matter what position I found myself in when I woke, I felt totally rested and ready to explore again! I cannot give this system enough praise! It truly is THAT great!

Works well and is built strong. Comfortable sleep. Screens make air movement difficult to penetrate therefore in very hot weather, I needed to not use to be cool enough to get to sleep. It was 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In the fall, screens help with the cold. Noisy design

I understand this was a kickstarter project originally and they have an innovative design that I appreciate. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I'll keep this. Certainly too heavy for back packing for me when compared to my Hennessy and Warbonnet hammocks. I'll give you some of my nitpicks and things I really like.Pros:Overall shape/design: If you ever get on hammock forums to research camping hammocks the first question everyone asks is "what if there's nowhere to hang, what if I have to go to ground?" In this case....the answer is "nothing", just set it up like a pup tent.Fabric: Appears to be good quality. Maybe a bit heavier than needed for the fly and parts of the hammock body but I'm looking at this more from the perspective of a car/kayak camper. The pad alone is too heavy to make this a viable backpacking option for most people I think.Pockets!!!! Probably my favorite thing behind the comfort. Lots of places to squirrel away your headlamp, phone, etc once you're inside the hammock. It would also be simple enough to add some hanging storage to the ridgeline much like the Hennessy.Cons:Suspension: Not a fan of the ladder-strap setup. It's "simple" but not terribly easy to use or adjust. I'd prefer whoopie slings, straps/buckles or something else. Both of those other options being lighter as well. The straps are very short so that also limits your hanging options. And.....the included carabiners are junk. They're the cheapest steel biners I think I've ever seen with lots of little sharp edges and burrs just waiting to tear a hole in the fly or elsewhere. I'll be swapping those out immediately and maybe the whole suspension setup. Adding a 2nd light weight biner means I'll be able to leave the complete suspension/tarp attached to the hammock, but still be able to quickly attach the ends to trees.Netting/zippers:Being that I always camp when/where there are bugs, being able to remove the netting is of little to no benefit to me. Therefore....having a double-pull zipper setup makes much more sense. This way the zippers would end up in the middle of the hammock when it's zipped shut, rather than one end. For those of us getting older, reaching down to our feet or beyond our head to reach the pulls when nature calls is a hassle. They should also include some reflective zipper pulls to make finding them in the dark a bit easier. Even some of the reflective guyline included would work....but orange/chartreuse much better.Pad: Comfortable, but very heavy. The bag-pump is a little fidgety but after a little practice will work well I think. I didn't experience the foot pump design but that seems to have gone away in the current model.Tarp:A little small but I believe it will do the job. I'm a little confused on the method to connect it to the hammock body. Some videos show running the support carabiners through some reinforced slots in the ends. But....there's also a webbing loop and some smaller cheap carabiners included. The instructions are very limited so I'm watching a bunch of review videos for more information. Even their website is pretty lacking. Several other reviewers indicate the fly leaks at the points where the webbing loops are sewn on for tying back the sides. I haven't been in the wet yet to report but that does seem likely.Ventilation:The no-seeum mesh is great to keep out the critters, but doesn't so much as let a puff of air through. I was laying in a park with gusts of wind that were shaking the trees and hammock body, yet couldn't feel it at all through the mesh. Great for the cold months, not so good for summer trips. The end vents in the hammock body seem kind of a waste for this reason as well. I think they could simplify the design, delete those, and maybe reduce the cost a bit.Nitpicks:Stakes....use the "Y" style rather than the shepherds hooks. They hold much better in soft sand and are stronger. The guy lines are kind of overkill but work OK.Packaging:The stuff sack link with the flap to connect the pad is very gimmicky. It's nice to keep them together but very unnecessary. The stakes should have their own small bag just to keep from dragging sand/mud into the rest of the setup when you're packing everything away. Assuming you keep the tarp connected to the hammock body when packing up there's no need for the other medium sized stuff sack included, nor the elastic bands.Marketing:The website is big on sales, small on information. That will likely change as time goes on.

Very disappointed in this. Did lots of research for it to be a complete piece of crap. Leaks, seams coming apart after only a couple of weeks of use. Can’t find a way to get ahold of an actual person at customer support. Now I’m stuck in the woods of the Philippines with nothing to sleep in.

Not a big fan of hammocks but also not a fan of sleeping on the ground. I have been doing quite a bit of motorcycle camping so I needed something small to fit in the bags on my KTM. The pack size it small but setup it is a very comfortable way to sleep. Didn't fold or swing during the night. Holding up well and setup is a breeze.

The first 5 pics are of the way I received the haven xl, it looks like a melted spot in one area and you can see someone has attempted to patch another area with rip stop patches. I Paid a lot of money for a new one over a used one. The last picture shows the threading to the middle clip of rainfly ripped off after day 2 of a 7 night trip leaving me concerned of long term durability. I will say that I originally couldn’t decide between the haven tent and the amok draumr 5.0 and ended up going with the amok for the past couple of years, until my son was ready for a lay flat hammock so I decided to try this one out since I know what the amok sleeps like and i will say that I should have went with the haven XL over the amok originally. It is much easier to get in and out and I like the flexibility of being a tent on the ground as well and the rain fly comes attached instead of needing to setup a separate ridge line and tarp like with the amok. Both are great, innovative hammocks but i have given my son the amok draumr 5.0 and aquaquest guide tarp and I’ve been using the haven XL, both of us sleep very well and are happy although haven tent should do a better quality control check before sending out, these things are not cheap and warrant being checked to confirm the customer gets exactly what they’ve paid for after paying so much for one.
