OutEQ Portable Parachute Nylon Travel Hammock - Lightweight & Durable Fabric for Camping & Hiking

Captain ColonCaptain Colon: I purchased this hammock for a Long Trail hike; it was cheap and I figured it'd be "good enough" to get me through a few days and then I'd probably just forget I even had it. Little did I know I would end up loving sleeping in this thing more than I love sleeping in my own bed! I was honestly a bit scared of it at first; how could something so thin and light that fits in such a tiny bag possibly hold me up all night long? Well it did, and it did it without complaint. I am a bit of a restless sleeper i.e. sometimes I toss and turn a lot, but this hammock has handled all of that and given me some of the best sleep I've ever had (FULL DISCLOSURE: a foam sleeping pad assisted in this).

Setup is simple; the hammock has carabiners at both ends so all you need to do is rig up something to clip them to using the included rope lines and you're ready for bed! I have no concerns about either the carabiners or the rope included; the hammock material itself will fail before either of those do. Frankly I bet they could probably cut the price by a dollar or two by using weaker materials here, but I won't complain about being able to be confident in the little things that other...

S. Szolomayer: I've had this hammock for about 3 years now, and like it well enough that I bought a second one for my daughter. It's fading and the ropes are fraying but I like it well enough that I'll replace the nylon rope and keep using it. I take issue with the weight provided - 7.2 ounces? I just weighed mine on my food scale and it comes in at 20.4 ounces, not including the extra nylon rope that you tie to the trees. Without the heavy metal carabiners, I'd say the weight of the hammock is just about 1 lb. For day use or car camping, this weight is fine and the cost is quite reasonable. If you're considering using it for backpacking, you'll want to look elsewhere since you'd need to mod the nylon rope and carabiners attached to the hammock ends in order to reduce the weight.

Eleanor LynnEleanor Lynn: I’ve had this hammock for several years and it’s still going strong!

All through college I used others ENO hammocks because I didn’t want to buy one and someone always had an extra. After leaving I had to get my own and really didn’t want to spend that much on it. So I figured for $20 I could try this one out.

I bought one for my sister and I. This was by far one of the best $20 I’ve spent in my life. It’s lightweight, easy, and highly durable. I’ve left it outside in the rain several times and didn’t wipe it down/properly let it dry, I’ve tossed it in the shed, I’ve used it numerous times and it still lives. Mine is starting to grow a hole from where a squirrel got into our shed this winter and there’s a little mildew in the pocket but that’s more my poor storage/care. But it still keeps going.

I 100% recommend this hammock. You really can’t go wrong with a simple, cheap hammock.

teresa shughart: I have ALWAYS wanted a hammock. I love reading and just being outside on a beautiful day so I thought they were the coolest thing. Now that we have a house with a lot of shade and beautiful trees to look at, I insisted that this would be my year to get one. However, the price can be a little overwhelming when looking at most hammocks, especially if you aren't sure how often you will really get to use it.

When I saw this hammock, I was intrigued. I wasn't sure if the parachute material would be comfortable to lay in (it is!). I wasn't sure where i would attach it (between two posts under my deck works awesome!). I did love the idea of how small it folded up so I could store it easily when not in use & even take it camping if I wanted. So I bit the bullet & bought it.

Love it! The clips make it so easy to put up and take back down. If we were to take it camping it would be a bit of extra work, but it would be worth it. My husband & I can both fit in it, though it is a bit awkward trying to position yourselves. I can easily lay in it with either of my children (8 & 3). I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants portability with their hammock...

Caro D: I absolutely love this hammock! I know some people bought new ropes, but I haven't had to do that. I think the ones that come with it have been really durable and very useful. I love that I can unclip the hammock at a moments notice if it's going to rain or if I need to take it with me. It repacks so well in its little pocket, that I love to take it down and take it to the park. I am also really glad that I bought the large one! I have often laid in it with my sister, or niece and it fits us so well. Also, when I'm by myself I can wrap it around me and keep the mosquitoes from getting to me!

While on the hammock you can feel a breeze through the fabric on your back, so I wouldn't recommend sleeping straight on it if it's cold outside, but I don't see why you couldn't sleep in a sleeping bag inside of it. I'd like to try that one day. Anyways, if you're looking for a hammock, buy this one! Super sturdy and versatile! I got the blue and black one and I love the color, I recommend it too!
