Eagles Nest Outfitters SingleNest Hammock (Powder Blue/Royal) Review

Average Reviews:

this hammock is amazing. it's so comfortable and durable. i've set it up both inside and out, and i LOVE it.
it doesn't look like it should hold up, but it does. also, the extra fabric makes a great covering if it's a little chilly. given the choice between a thermarest and a sleeping bag and an eno, i'd sleep in the eno. all my friends who have one love it as well.
you don't have to buy the straps that eno also sells if you or someone you know knows how to make some.
all in all, it's a wonderful product, great for the outdoor lover.

when i bought this hammock, it was for my long awaited vacation to florida that i took with a friend.we both love the beach and we thought hammocks would be great to bring for the trip.i bought the travel hammock and received a great hammock and the ropes were included!my friend bought some other hammock (paid more and didn't even get ropes to hang it, yuk!)
i used it just about everyday i was there, this thing is great. i wish the vacation wasn't over cuz now i have to wait for warmer weather now to relax in my hammmock again.

Product Description:
Tired of sleeping on uncomfortable tent floors? Want a cozy spot to tape a nap after a seven-mile hike? Turn to the single parachute nylon hammock, a portable hammock that packs easily and sets up in less than a minute. The hammock is made of high-strength parachute nylon silk, with 3x stitching on all weight-bearing points. As a result, it can hold up to 400 pounds, giving you plenty of support whether sleeping alone or hanging out with a friend.



The hammock sets up just about anywhere. It's also generously sized at 10.5 feet long by 5 feet wide (52.5 total square feet), making it the largest single parachute hammock on the market. Best of all, the hammock offers a trail weight of 1 pound and stuffs tightly into an attached stuff sack. Compact and versatile, it performs equally well at the campsite or in the backyard.
The hammock is easy to set up thanks to the included stainless-steel S-hooks and two pieces of 10-foot, pre-knotted 4.5 mm accessory rope. As a bonus, the quick-drying nylon material is mildew-resistant, so it won't rot when sitting in long-term storage. All Travel Hammock hammocks carry a 10-year warranty.

Eagles Nest Outfitters FastFly Raintarp Review

Eagles Nest Outfitters FastFly Raintarp
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is my second rainfly purchase from ENO. The stitching and seems hold up well, the tightening system is ingenious, and will stand up to years of use. The only reason it's not five stars is because it's a little heavier than I'd hoped for.

Product Description:
Rain is beautiful. It's being wet that really sucks. Imagine the bliss of resting in a hammock during a spring rain. Frogs singing, droplets splashing on the leaves, the fresh smell of a forest washed clean: all while you stay completely dry. Welcome to heaven. The FastFly's perfectly contoured drip lines will cover you and your gear, and its four-point connection system is a snap to setup. With enough room to cook while sitting in your hammock, you have all your essentials covered. When the rain quits, just stuff it and get back on the trail. ENO offers the outdoor enthusiast a versatile, high-quality option for forging through rough weather. This product complements all ENO hammocks and is displayed with lightweight, rip-stop tarps and shelters. The FastFly can be used with other brands of hammocks as well as independently, to shade and protect your buddies, gear, clothes, or dog.

Hennessy Snakeskins #3 Review

Hennessy Snakeskins #3
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought a pair of these for my Hennessy hammock.I tried them, but I think I prefer using a stuff sack.Using the snakeskin takes up more space than a stuff sack.But if you attach it to the outside of your pack, that probably does not matter.I did not like the way the snake skins bunch up at the ends of the hammock.It makes using the hammock in tight spots a little harder.I tried to put both the tarp and hammock into the snake skins.That works, but if you do that, you can't easily put the tarp on a separate line (running above the hammock), the way you see in the pictures.So all-in-all I would not recommend it, but your mileage may very.I have heard some people strongly endorse the snakeskins, but after using them, I do not understand why.

    Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest Hammock Review

    Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest Hammock
    Average Reviews:

    (More customer reviews)
    UPDATE:I ended up purchase the Grand Trunk ultralight single hammocks for my two sons, so was able to actually compare the ENO with the Grand Trunk brands.

    The ENO is definitely a thicker material - parachute nylon - while the Grand Trunk hammock are made a very thin nylon material.But for a hot/humid climate like Texas, the Grand Trunk hammocks outperformed the ENO hammock this weekend (May) while camping. The GT hammocks allowed the breeze to circulate, and actually keeps you quite a bit cooler.I think the ENO hammock will be better in the cooler times of the year, but for the summer - and for this price - the GT is a winner.

    Also, if you are planning to purchase the "Slap Straps Pro" as I previously recommended - be wary that the tag states that they are for a weight max. of 200 lbs and does not tell whether this is per strap, or for the two straps combined (although the ENO hammock is rated for 400 lbs).If I had noticed this before I purchased, I would have contacted the manufacturer for clarification.

    I debated between this and the Grand Trunk Double Hammock that was about $40 compared to ENO at $58.The ENO hammock has very good quality caribiners, unlike a lot of hammocks which have S-hooks (although I am sure you could purchase your own caribiners or higher quality S-hooks).Also, the ENO hammock is supposed to be able to hold up to 400 lbs, compared to most other hammocks which state 300 lbs.The hammock appears very durable and strong, and we have actually had it in the rain, and it dries very quickly.

    The only Cons I saw compared to the GT hammock is that the ENO hammocks only carry a two year warranty, compared to GT's 10 year warranty.However, the ENO hammock quality appears superior.Also, note that the double hammock is very wide compared to a single hammock, so it takes a little bit of getting used to all the room you have :)(the extra material can actually "cover" you like a light blanket).

    If you camp a lot and can spring for the Eagle's Nest Outfitters "slap straps pro" which are around $20-$25 - you won't regret it.They make putting this hammock up super-easy and super-fast.They are thin, lightweight, but super strong.They are also easier on tree-bark compared to plain rope.On that note, this hammock DOES NOT HAVE ROPE ATTACHED.So make sure you have some on hand, or buy the "slap straps".

    Product Description:
    ENO's DoubleNest hammock makes you want to snuggle. With two-feet of extra width than the SingleNest, the DoubleNest allows room for one, two, three, or however you decide to pack 400lbs. The DoubleNest seats more than one person comfortably and is essential for family adventures. The DoubleNest still packs down to the size of a grapefruit, so there is no excuse to be without your ENO hammock.

    Lawson Hammock Blue Ridge Camping Hammock Review

    Lawson Hammock Blue Ridge Camping Hammock

    I went camping for the first time with this hammock on a lake in the Cascades outside of Seattle in early in June.It rained all night the second night and I stayed dry, while my friends on the ground all got a bit wet due to problems with inadequate flys, etc.It was a noisy night with the rain hitting the hammock fly, but again very dry.I had some gear under the hammock that also stayed fairly well protected from the rain.

    I have two gripes about the hammock.Both result from the fact that it is designed to allow for the fly and therefore to function like a tent.This all-in-one design requires the use of stretch bars at both ends of the hammock and these bars create a flatter surface than that of a traditional hammock.That flatter surface creates a couple of problems.It is a harder surface to sleep on.You need a pad for comfort and warmth even though you are not on the ground.And worst of all, the whole thing is vulnerable to flipping over if you move outside the center of gravity inside of the hammock when you turn over in the night.I found myself waking up needing to roll over and having to hang on to the side of the tent/hammock tightly as I gingerly repositioned myself.

    Also, because is has a flatter surface, you can't lie at an angle or somewhat perpendicular to the line of the hammock to straighten out, and as a result your feet and head are always above the center of your body.Not a big deal, but does make for stiff knees in the morning (I am 58 years old). You need to attach another sleeping bag under the hammock to keep warm on chillier nights.This makes for more gear to haul around with you [1-2 pad(s), 2 sleeping bags, one for the under side of hammock, and one for inside, and the hammock itself].I use a kayak or a canoe and do not backpack, so the extra weight is manageable, which would also be true for car camping.

    My hammock was ordered in green butit arrived in camouflage material. The natural pattern is actually very pretty and blends in with the surroundings well.No complaints, unless you want your tent to be brightly coloredfor visibility in case of an emergency.

    Overall, this hammock is affordable and much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground with a pad, or sleeping on a cot with a pad; neither of which work for me any more.So I am definitely going with this contraption over those two other options in the foreseeable future!
