The Travel Hammock Ultralight Hammock

The Travel Hammock created the 10-ounce Ultralight Hammock so you can stretch out and relax between two trees in camp, yet it won't weigh you down on the trail. A quick-drying nylon blend material creates a relaxing place to kick back even when you can't find a flat piece of ground. The Ultralight Hammock fits into its own built-in stuff sack for quick-and-easy storage when the time comes to get going again. *Max capacity is 250 pounds.

Bottom Line: The Ultralight Hammock from The Travel Hammock provides comfort in camp at less weight than most rain jackets.

comfy

Comfortable and light. It's $20 and well worth it. It's easy to pack back into its own pocket and even with a few holes after much use, it has not torn. Get a few because everyone will want to use yours.

Let's be Fair

I have to write a rebuttle to the unfair posting by Mr Big, whom obviously works in the hammock business and is taking a shot at The Travel Hammock. First of all, the Ultralight hammock is a price-point product, plain and simple, otherwise it wouldn't be $19.99 Second of all, comparing this product to the parachute nylon Travel Hammock just isn't fair. If you were to do this you would find (specifically compared to eagles nest and other parachute nylon hammock makers) that the Travel Hammock is made by the original manufacturer of parachute nylon hammocks and is simply the best made. It's actually made in a hammock making factory, not a furniture and gift maker shop. The size is longer, wider and has been independently lab tested to hold 400lbs. Not to mention the fact that they include a FREE hammock hanging kit (not trying to force you to purchase an additional rope kit, like eagles nest) and offer a no worries 10 year warranty...have you tried to return an eagles nest hammock? Finally, let's talk about price. The Travel Hammock is at least a 25-30% saving over eagles nest when you include the FREE hammock hanging kit. So Mr. Big I would challenge you to try and prove these facts wrong and in your defense, at least you didn't recommend a Hammock Bliss hammock, otherwise I would have to call the opinion police on you.

This review just isn't fair, especially comparing the entire Travel Hammock line based on the review of this product. By the way, every review from him is negative....something smells fishy and it's not his breath hopefully. Let's face it, this is a inexpensive product, what do you want?? As for the other brands mentioned, you have to look at the products that are actually competing products. Such as the Travel Hammock parachute nylon hammock that kicks ass! It's bigger, stronger and has a better price than the eagles nest hammock. Plus, the warranty is the best there is, 10 years. Not to mention the fact that the Travel Hammock gives you a FREE hammock hanging kit, which Mr. Big also complained about, I guess he likes to pay for something you should get included with the product. Either way you look at it, the Ultralight Hammock is a nice, lightweight product that is extremely affordable.

Adequate.

This was the lightest non-mesh hammock I could find and the most packable. It was also a very good price and comes in decent colors. My only problem with The Travel Hammock, and I've used quite a few of their products, is that the quality isn't as good as a Hennessey, Eagles Nest, Speer, Mosquito Hammock, Jungle Hammock, etc. The material is simply low quality and the stitching isn't terribly tough. With use, the hammock will rip and eventually fail. For the models which have mosquito netting, it will eventually rip as it is made of lower grade stuff. With that said, this is an entry-level hammock, yet one of the better (price, weight, size, etc.) for an infrequently used piece of gear.

I have never bought a travel hammock before, but have always been interested. I have a major concern about attachment to trees. How does it work?

Travel Hammock gives you two pieces of very thin yet strong rope/cord. The idea is to loop it around a tree and attach it to an "S" hook on either side of the hammock. It holds fine, but if you're concerned about the tree, it will dig into it a bit. Some manufacturers offer a fairly easy solution to distribute the weight of the rope/cord against the tree. For example, Hennessey uses a 3" wide piece of nylon strapping with a loop on either end. The nylon strap goes around the tree and the hammock rope/cord slides into the loop. Because the nylon strap is wider then the rope/cord, it disburses the weight better and doesn't damage the tree. You can make something like that yourself and I think Hennessey sells them for something like $15/set.

just bought one of these lightweight little hammocks and couldn't love it more. was at a local retail shop and compared this to the byer of maine and the design is far superior, plus i got a free rope kit to hang it! it's also bigger than the byer hammock. took it hiking and when i got tired put it between 2 trees (which was easier than expected) and wala! had a little safety meeting and went to sleep.
