(More customer reviews)Received the Hammock Bivy by Ajillis yesterday and was impressed by the design and packaging.
I instantly took it out back and let it hang over night to test the waterproof feature.
the rains started at 4am and when it let up for a bit at 1pm I went out to investigate.
As I thought would happen, that outside pocket was full of water. But not discouraged,
I peeled back the top cover to look inside. There was a nice puddle of water inside the hammock.
You can find videos of this on you tube searching for Ajillis.
Obviously, Mine can not be considered rainproof/waterproof at this point and useless for its intended and described purpose.
After email exchanges with Ajillis and settlement, I am keeping mine and seeing if I can figure out the water problem, which could be condensation as well as rain.
Ajillis was fairly quick wth offering a refund and apologetic on the results I have had to date.
I actually like the design, like you would like the ugly dog in the litter. The one bow and bug net work fine.
My biggest worry is that instead of a leak, the water appears by condensation due to the waterproof material.
I hope it works out and will use a rainfly while testing it. Oops..still didn't get answer on weight limits..
I could just suggest others to wait and see if a new improved Hammock Bivy is in Ajillis's future.
Will update if I figure mine out..
Pros: nice packaging, 2.6 pounds, includes tent stakes, tieouts and all webbing. Nice concept.
Cons: leaks and pools water. Water inside hammock without rainfly used(but might be condensation too) and outside pocket fills with water (hmm water collector for survivalists?)
Looking for an updated version in woodland camo that does not leak/hold water and a filter attached to that water pocket.

This hammock bivy can be used as a hammock or on the ground to protect you from the elements. The bivy is durable rip stop plyester which provides for a very light weight and compact size. This bivy is excellent for the back country hunter who likes to stock their game and be on the go. It can also be used for the back country hiker who likes to get deep into the back country and be comfortable while doing so.
