I previously had a Neotools hammock, but after a few years of use, it wore out a bit and I decided to buy a new one. Unfortunately, after literally a couple of uses, this Highlander is in the same condition as my Neotools after a few years. The mosquito net is very weak; because the zipper ends about 20 cm from the end of the hammock, I already tore the mosquito net on both sides during the first entry. The bag for the hammock, which is sewn onto the hammock, also tore off after a few uses. Generally, I expected something a bit better. It's also clearly shallower than my previous one, which might have affected how quickly I ripped the mosquito net. The tarp is fine, but after all, what can I expect from a rectangle with strings.

The hammock itself is solid, but the mosquito net was damaged on the very first night. I definitely do not recommend using the included straps—they can be dangerous for users. During the second use, one of the ropes snapped in the middle. My weight is 92 kg, so it was too much for ropes rated at 110 kg. I strongly suggest purchasing stronger ropes separately, as they are much more durable.

The hammock works great for outdoor overnight stays. The advantage is the built-in mosquito net, and the whole thing is easy to assemble. The design seems well thought out. For this price, the product is definitely worth it. The need to replace the straps is not a big problem.
-
Everything would be fine if not for the poor quality mounting straps, which don't even have loops at the ends and are too short. You have to buy the straps for the hammock separately. A minus for the lack of illustrated instructions (e.g. with knots), which would make it easier to set up the hammock. There's only a text instruction and it’s quite basic, as it doesn't explain much.

The hammock is very good, as is the tarp, but at this price I would expect better straps, these are fit for the trash. They don't hold and stretch out, and I weigh 70kg. I suggest buying decent straps together with the hammock.
