Hammocks

Clark Outdoor’s Vertex double hammock houses two independent hammocks in one breathable enclosure. It also has a storage compartment large enough to store backpacks. If you want an insulated two-person hammock, check out Clark’s VX Ultra.

The Nomad is a 20L backpack with a built-in hammock. It uses an intuitive system of straps and Velcro patches to guide you in unfolding and folding the hammock back with the rest of the bag. It’s made of Cordura 1000 nylon and nylon mesh.

Ultimate Hammocks’ Ultimate Straps with Nano Weave are slim, light and up to 60% thinner than other hammock straps, yet don’t sacrifice strength or durability. They have no traditional stitches, eliminating weak points. Available in 800lb and 1600lb capacities.

Kammok’s highly versatile camping accessory can be used as a 2-person tent, a sheltered hammock, a lightweight sun shelter, or a solo hammock. Its ventilated interior is surprisingly spacious at 35 square feet, along with a 40″ peak height.

The Treeo is a waterproof ripstop nylon hammock that can also be used as a blanket and a rain fly. Transitioning between its forms is simple thanks to its drawstring. It comes with carabiners, stakes, guy lines and tree straps.

No trees, no problem. Eagles Nest Outfitters‘ Nomad lets you enjoy your hammock on any site that has a stable surface. It’s made of aluminum alloy and comes with a carrying case as well as cargo loops. It’s also available from Amazon.

Flying Squirrel Outfitters‘ handmade hammocks have a unique double-ended pouch. You can slide the pouch along the hammock to adjust the tension, so you can create a stiff hanging chair or a loose hammock. Available as 22oz two-person or 11oz one-person hammock.

TrailNest’s foldable hammock stands are meant to be attached to vehicle roof bars, but can also be used on the ground. They have their own floors so you won’t step on your roof. There’s also a kit that comes with a ladder. Available in single or double stands.

Wildish’s packable outdoor gear turns into a blanket, a tent or a hammock in seconds. It’s made of water-repellent ripstop nylon and has reinforced stitching, ballistic webbing straps and nylon loops. Comes with eight carabiners and ground stakes.

Most portable hammocks require that you string them up between trees. But this one comes with a folding frame, making it perfect for the beach and open fields. It has a movable canopy for sun protection, a 9-can drink cooler, and packs up into the included carrying bag.

REI’s first hanging tent aka bridge hammock. It’s a one-person hammock that weighs a little over 3lb, a ripstop nylon body with shockcorded poles, all the cords and clips you need to hang it, as well as a removable bug net and a rainfly.

We can think of few more relaxing ways to spend a day than floating on a quiet lake, or in a lazy hammock. The MelloShip combines both of these “activities” into one. Lie back, relax, and steer the solar-powered vessel via remote control. Holds two hammocks, so bring a friend!
