Haven Tent XL

W najnowszej wersji Haven XL ma poprawione zamki, teraz leżąc w środku można bez problemu zapiąć moskitierę. W poprawionej wersji dostępny jest lounge strap, taki jak w wersji Safari. Materac jest bardzo ciepły, w lato jest na nim gorąco.

I waited quite awhile before I ordered this item. I compared it with the amok, crua and the night cat. With the exception of the crua the amok and night cat were only explored online. The haven seems to be well made. It is very roomy with nothing hanging down into your face. The mosquito netting is taut and vertical along the sides. There are plenty on interior pockets. The storage bag for the air mattress doubles as an inflator. The zippers on the rain fly are nice. They seem substantial and they are easily kept from grabbing material as you slide them. These were the things I liked. What I didn’t like, and almost never mentioned in online reviews ( is it because haven has a sponsorship program? ) is that the haven feels very tippy. The air mattress slides side to side. So when you get out you feel like you are falling out. Regular gathered and hammocks require you to lift your butt over the sides. I saw only one mention on you tube about the air mattress sliding to the sides. And that mention was only to suggest how to center the air mattress when you are inside. Would not be a problem but after some time you find yourself shifting the mattress again in the other direction. If you are not centering the air mattress you are sleeping against the side. I wanted a flat lay so I wouldn’t experience pressure on the side of my shoulders. I sleep on a hammock nightly as it relieves back pain that I develop when I sleep. So sleeping against the sides doesn’t help. You also slide up or down to the head position. They say you need to center yourself where the air mattress rises in the middle. I can’t find the middle position where I won’t end up sliding. I have had my haven for almost a month. And I sleep in it every night. Can’t find that center position. The haven does have a nice ridge line so I have some thing substantial to grab and pull myself back into a more comfortable position. I just get tired of making these adjustments nightly.. The air mattress is the noisiest air mattress I have, it has actually awoken me. I can’t verify that it is temperature rated above 4. But I would play it safe and assume it isn’t. And lastly I sent an unanswered inquiry to haven. Enough on that. I found the crua to be just as comfortable to sleep in as the haven. But the crua has its own set of problems. I am not making the recommendation of the crua over the haven. The crua has its own problems. The haven has different purposes.

Durable and comfortable

Best set up . So easy only complaint is there is no easy way to tie cover back because it goes under guy line

I’ve been hammock camping for about 15 years. All with gathered end hammocks. Everything from Eno to cottage vendors. I’m a side sleeper and usually would sleep diagonal with a pillow between my knees. I’ve wants a Haven hammock for years and finally bit the bullet. The only thing I don’t like is how long it took to buy one. I wish I would have got one years ago. It’s the best sleep I’ve ever got in a hammock. I thought it was a gimmick but it totally isn’t. Now I’ve been giving all my old hammocks away. I’m excited to jump into the camping season with this new hammock.
