You may not get as much breathable material in the summer time, yet it will not be hot at all as some may claim and will not be wrapping around your body. On the contrary, I find there is more ventilation through the side netting in this type hammock than the new top end nylon cocoon types. Lay is very flat when taut, as should be and normal in performance. You can sit or lean out to make your coffee in the morning like any other hammock design. The lean is every bit as stable as any hammock out there imo. Remember the top as well as the hammock is secured to a tree, your not going anyplace. Always use a rainfly over any Hammock and single wall tent! That's a must have to go with these while camping. The built in top in my opinion is nothing more than a way to hang the netting and block the sun. I found the Rothco camo version to be a bit larger both in length and in height than the texsport model. You will need about 50 feet of paracord or amsteel, tree huggers etc. and a stuff sack to go with this hammock. You may have noticed the tarp laying off to the side in the video? This is if i put the hammock to ground, basically hang it the same way but at ground level and use a footprint/tarp below it. Would work the same ...
