I've travelled A LOT with a tent, but this will be my first time with a hammock, and don't really know how to choose it. I will start my travels in Colombia and them go to other parts of South America, from jungle to mountains.

From my research, I got to choose between two models:

A NightCat hammock tent, something like this

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0DR5QLXK2/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B0DR5QLXK2&pd_rd_w=5uRrE&content-id=amzn1.sym.bf6dbf94-e926-4351-8952-c09f45cdef70&pf_rd_p=bf6dbf94-e926-4351-8952-c09f45cdef70&pf_rd_r=CA70FP3X0HCMEHE4BWH3&pd_rd_wg=vorUQ&pd_rd_r=9f76db9a-58be-4022-b4c9-3e2a684eb24e&aref=riF8pvOwx0&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw&th=1

pros: can use as a tent as well, seems easy to set up, cheap

cons: not sure about quality and durability, heavy

Or a Hennessey like this:

https://eu.hennessyhammock.com/products/ultralite-backpacker-asym-zip

pros: light, it seems to be better quality

cons: small tarp, a bit more expenssive, more difficult to set up.

As I said, I don't know much about hammocks, any suggestions are more than welcome!

Ideally I need some brand that I can order inside EU, as I am leaving quite soon :)
