The Jammock is very well constructed, sturdy, compact and easy to use. As I keep the top off as much as possible, it is very easy to throw it in storage daily and pull it out whenever I stop on the trail. With having several options on installation/placement and only taking moments to set up, it has become one of my favorite mods. The straps and buckles even feel strong enough to hold whatever weight you have for it and not be worried you will fall out due to a failure.
The only flaw I have found is the buckles to hold the strap. These buckles are constructed in such a way to use the tension on the strap to hold tighter as weight is applied. However, if the strap is fed in the incorrect way, the strap will hold tight until weight is applied. So be careful and check this prior to jumping into the Jammock, as it is a good weight to end up in a heep in the floorboard.
Overall, I use my Jammock constantly. It is such an affordable and simple mod, that is quick to set up and easy to store. I take it with me everywhere and constantly reminded that it was an excellent purchase. Drive In Movies, baseball games, naps on the trail or date night under the stars are several of the applications I use it for. Far and away one of the best (non performance) mods you can spend your money on. Get one, tuck it next to the recovery kit and enjoy!

The Jammock was tested by a former US Army weapons tester and will not break when used correctly. The testing consisted of developmental and operational scenarios, including 20 human users. It is secured to your roll bars via two webbing lengths of 1” polypropylene webbing (2,000+ lbs breaking weight, each). The webbing is attached via 2 tension buckles (880 lb. breaking weight, each). The Jammock has been tested to hold 300 pounds without failure. Now, we believe that it has a breaking strength of many times that weight, but given our current tort laws, Jammock, LLC does not recommend going above 350 lbs.
