It can hold up to around 300 pounds and is made of nylon material. I comes with 2 nylon ropes each and there is hooks attracted to both ends. I like that you can roll it all back up and put right into the bag it comes in. The bag is connected to the side when it is opened that you can use as a holder for things. I think this hammock is great and made very well. It is very durable and great quality. I love the 2 tone colors as well. It was easy to get hung up and is comfortable to lay in. It is light weight and portable. This would make a great add on for camping or just a in your backyard for a good oh day of relaxing. It is a good size for 1 person but roomie for 2. Awesome hammock and I recommend this item.
I bet it fits nicely in a back pack. I might get stuck in it though.
