I wouldn?t have been able to set up my SingleNest or my boyfriend?s DoubleNest without these a few times. They do need to be adjusted over time as there is some sag when you're in the hammock for a long period of time. I would recommend also keeping a couple of carabiners handy to get the height just right.

Used these a few times, very disappointed in these for the price. Started sagging almost as soon as you lay on it. By the end of the night my bottom was touching the ground. Very happy with the hammock, but no go on these straps.

At first glance I thought there's no way these things will hold me up. But it's such an ingenious design and it works flawlessly. Worth every penny, so much better than trying to rig up some rope or tie down straps.

yeah you could just buy some rope and use that to hang up your hammock but let me say this first, I'm just too damn lazy to do that. I love these straps and they are amazing. Don't drink about it, just buy them and you will be happy.

These are the easiest straps for hanging up hammocks that I have ever used. It only takes a few minutes to get things set up and they're super easy to adjust. With that being said I have had some problems with slipping before. I found that if you wrap the straps around the tree twice instead of once it helps or if you can wrap them around a tree just above a branch then you won't slip down past the branch. All in all a very easy system to use that is lightweight.

I feel the straps are inadequate. They are a single use item. I have used them and they have slipped more than once and I have ended up with my backside on the ground - not a crash and burn, just slipped down the tree. Now I use two 8 foot sections of climbing rope and simple boy scout knots to get the job done.

I guess if you are counting ounces then you'll be happy with them, they are light weight and compact and they hold the weight but if I had it to do again, I would not purchase them.

An absolute must if you buy the Eno Double Nest Hammock. Takes about 3 minutes at most to set up and get to relaxing. Fantastic design works for all size trees.

They work great and there are really versatile they work great with all types of hammocks and are very sturdy. My buddy and I have hung his hammock out camping a few times using bungie cords and rope and these straps work so much better made hanging the hammock easier. Highly recommend if you are camping with a hammock. It also doesn't matter what type of hammock you have just get yourself some biners.

in the included stuff sack. you can fit the 6 stakes that come with the ProFly in here with the Slapstraps...and there is still some room left for extra cordage if you feel so inclined.

Slap straps make chillin in the hammock so much easier. Way lighter than carrying ropes, more reliable than making your own. I've never had a problem with them, although the threads start to pull with two people in it. Definitely the best option for single person hammocking!

Gotta love these straps! Excellent length and great strength, with just enough stretch to allow for some extension in the hammock. Easily setup in all weather conditions. I recommend using a some quick geometry and common sense when setting it up to ensure you don't end up uncomfortable or on the ground.

tough. and i mean tough. i am 6'3" 204. never squeaked or creaked during the night. much easier to set up with these straps than the cordage on the Hennesy A-sym Hammock. just slap it around a tree branch and stick it into the other side of the clips... i know there is a balance to be maintained between lightweight and adaptability, but i would like to see more loops placed closer together at the distal end of the straps. i feel like it would help to more easily level out the hammock over a greater span.

I bought these with a hammock at a local retailer when helping a friend get some hammock gear accumulated to transition from ground dwelling to elevated enlightenment. I myself use dyneema whoopie slings that I made at home. He refused to even try them and wanted the name brand since it would be "trustworthy" (even though with over 300 nights on one set i've never once had a sling slip even a fraction of an inch during the night.

The first and immediate thing I noticed when we got home was that they are made out of nylon. After setting up the hammock he climbed in and the stretch they yielded was absolutely mind boggling to me. I guess I'm used to the less than 2% stretch the dyneema provides me in my hammock.

These things stretch, and any of the hammock regulars know that nylon straps are the worst to use, there are plenty tales of being jarred awake after a sudden introduction to the ground. Including this specific brand.

If you're only using your hammock for naps in the backyard, or a night at the campgrounds a few hundred feet from your car... these things might very well be fine. But if you intend to use these as your suspension for any length of hike where you need to rely on them...you should look for any other brand that uses polyester or switch to a dyneema whoopie sling/hugger combination.

He's had his setup for a few weeks and has slept in his backyard with them regularly. This weekend we went camping and on Saturday night, the second night out at 2am I happened to be awake when all of a sudden I heard him hit the ground in a glorious and hillarious *THUD*. Fortunately I always keep a spare pair of whoopie slings in my pack on the off chance I manage to load them up to their 900lb breaking limit and snap a pair. So there we are in the middle of the night switching out his suspension to the whoopie slings. The first words out of his mouth in the morning was "wow, those lines of your have ansolutely no spring to them, they're great. I guess I didn't realize how stretchy those slaps were..."

I would NOT recommend these to anyone. Sorry BackCountry.

this is a community for honest reviews of gear for potential buyers. i set these up for the first time i slept in a hammock in the dark. i hope that gives you a clue to their ease of use. since, i have slept more than enough nights in different hammocks of varying make and model suspended by the same set of these straps to call shennanigans on your review. i have never had any problem with noticeable stretch or slack of any kind. in fact, a rigid strap would be unwelcome as its tensile strength would vary in greater magnitude with temperature change. i am interested in knowing how many significant digits you deemed necessary and what vertical and horizontal limits you chose to implement on whichever of the many brands of gauges available to consumers that yielded your homemade straps not stretching "even a fraction of an inch...over 300 nights." i would venture to say that your unnamed "buddy" (should he actually exist) either exceeded the weight limit or did not suspend them from a structure with appropriate vector strength to support his weight. this is not an advertisement forum for gear you make from abandoned items in your barn next to the rusted massey-fergusson and collection of antique oil cans. drop the name of your homemade gear that you adapted from a lawn care website a few more times...seriously. wheres the picture? and if your straps are so indestructible, why do you feel it necessary to carry an extra set with you at all times? i say again...SHENNANIGANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have to disagree with John L here as well.The straps work exactly as they are designed - no strap is going to be without the inherent factor of stretch - that is unless you wish to carry chains around with you everywhere you go.

I agree. these straps are a total waste of fossil fuel. They stretch and slip. I now use climbing rope to suspend my hammock above the ground. All you need is a to know some basic knots and the rope outperforms the slap straps hands down. I had my local hiking retailer cut two 8 foot sections of rope. When stewing up the hammock, I wrap the rope 2 (or more if tree diameter allows) times around the tree to prevent damage to the bark.

They can be a little confusing or a pain in the butt to use early on but once you get the hang of them they go up no problem and provide plenty of options.

Slap straps are awesome. I can literally set up my doublenest in under 60 seconds with them. I have blown out 2 loops on them though. Each time was from having 3 ppl in the hammock. The weight rating is NOT a recommendation. I had 2 girls who only weighed maybe 110 each in it with me and it was fine for a few minutes and BOOM. You could absolutely hang without them. 2 good lengths of rope and a basic knowledge of some knots and bends and you'll be fine. These sure are convenient though.

This product makes it super easy to set up your hammock in no time flat. The loops take a minute to figure out the first time but after that, it's easy. Dont worry about strength either, they hold up 2 people in the doublenest no problem. Great product.
