Evolution 20 Synthetic Sleeping Bag Hammock

I recently took this bag/Hammock on a pack in trip to cloud Peak in the Wyoming Big Horn Mountains. The bag kept me warm at night and was actually really comfortable especially once I added a pad. I would recommend the set up.

Having purchased two Grand Trunk hammocks and hammock frame, I found them to all work perfectly, however, the East coast of Scotland is notorious for its cool onshore breezes even in "summer", making additional insulation essential. After five years of using travel rugs, travel cushions and sleeping bags with my GT hammocks, I discovered that Grand Trunk had designed a sleeping bag hammock and hammock pillow so I ordered both. After paying £112 in duty, due to the lack of a USA-UK trade agreement, the box was duly delivered after a transit of about 14 days which was pretty good. The items were safely packaged in the transit box and the sleeping bag hammock was in its own transit pack with cinch-able plastic buckles but there was also a mesh bag to allow the item to breathe when not on the move - a very useful inclusion. Furthermore, the item came with two snap carabineers which could have been clipped directly to my GT hammock frame, but I used some GT hammock straps from an earlier purchase. The hammock pillow also arrived in an integral transit pouch and was easy to deploy to the correct position inside the hammock's hood. The sleeping bag hammock when opened out has a 'head end' and 'foot end' so work out which way you want to face before deploying the hammock. That done, I just sat inside the edge of the hammock and slid my legs into the zipped open sleeping bag, after a couple minutes I was toasty in ambient temperature of 15C, which is quite typical for a Scottish "summer" hereabouts! This sleeping bag hammock is perfect for daytime hammocking in cool temperate latitudes where sunny days are often accompanied by chilling winds; consequently, I can Highly Recommended this item for this type of location and purpose.

So long story short, the free international shipping took forever. Like 1 month forever. And import taxes were freaking expensive, like over 100$! But that is because of Norway.
The product is very much as described though! It feels like quality and I was positively surprised by the ability to sleep asymmetrical for a flat lay, that is awesome! Especially since I'm a really big guy. I've had it out two times since it arrives and both night got down to about -6*C. It wasn't overly warm but this was about pushing the product to its limit and it really delivered. I really had a good night sleep in this. I also purchased the siesta hammock pillow and that worked great with this hammock.

So thank you Grand Trunk for this great product and I hope I never have to use that lifetime guarantee.

Decided to bring this snow camping as a first trial. None of the people I was with believed me when I said I was going to spend the night in this without a sleeping bag. They all chose to sleep in their cars. It got to around -5*C over night and snowed 4inches. I ended up being the warmest out of anyone, without a single ache or pain.
I can't praise this hammock enough, it's the quiver killer for camping.
Ditch your ground mat, sleeping pad, sleeping bag and tent for this beauty and the abigo rainfall.

Love this hammock. Camped in 37 degree temperatures. Brought a blanket for extra warmth but didn’t need it at all. This hammock is warm and comfortable.
