The Pursuit – EP189 – The Pursuit Podcast….Is DEAD Adam X Sauerwein
All summer and into this fall, I’ve been testing the Grand Trunk Evolution Down 20 Hammock. Testing a down hammock in the summer might sound a bit ridiculous, but there have been cold nights, and there have been scalding nights, and I intend to give you the full picture.
Okay, so let me start by saying, I generally hate hammocks. There, we got that out of the way.
In this case, “how’d I fit?”
Not much fashion to be had when it comes to a floating sleeping bag, but I will say, it’s about as gucci as a hammock can get. Look out for compliments from the floor dwellers.
This is as good of a product, for the intended user, as I’ve ever tested. Worth noting, while I understand why there isn’t a suspension strap system included, maybe including something would be a good idea. Users are often sporadic with their adventures, and it’s within the realm of possibility that someone orders this hammock, doesn’t dive into details, and just shows up at a campsite. Beyond that, hammock-hater no more, I’d like to try some of their standard ones to see if the quality and comfort is in the same realm. This should speak to you, because generally, sleeping at campsites is not a thing that previously I’d have enjoyed. Now the only ones not enjoying their camping are my partners, as they listen to my incessant snoring.
Fit: 9.0 | Function: 9.5 |Fashion/Aesthetic: 8.0 |
Score: 8.8/10
