Roo Double XL
Kammok
Taller hammock campers know the misery of heels and heads pressing hard against gathered-end seams. The Kammok Roo Double XL solves this by extending both length and width, providing a cavernous platform tailored for campers over six feet tall. Kammok builds the body from their proprietary ripstop fabric, which incorporates recycled materials and features a distinct water-repellent finish. It feels noticeably silkier and less clammy against the skin than standard commercial taffeta, while delivering exceptional tear resistance. Where the Roo Double XL shines in the field is attention to camp utility. Along the perimeter, Kammok integrates multiple low-profile gear loops, allowing you to clip ridgeline organizers, trail shoes, or an underquilt securely in place without rigging makeshift guylines. The hammock also includes lightweight, climbing-grade carabiners and cleanly spliced ends that shed weight without sacrificing structural confidence. For a single tall sleeper, the extra length provides an effortlessly flat lie, virtually eliminating hyper-extended knees. All that extra real estate brings minor penalties. It requires a slightly wider span between trees to hang correctly, and the increased fabric weight makes it better suited for car camping, canoe trips, or relaxed backpacking than fast-and-light pushes. Like most premium hammocks, tree straps are not included in the base package. **Highlights** - Extended length and width accommodate tall campers comfortably - Proprietary recycled ripstop fabric with soft, breathable hand feel - Integrated perimeter gear loops for clipping essentials and underquilts - Climbing-rated aluminum wiregate carabiners included - Roll-top integrated stuff sack doubles as a pocket **Watch-outs** - Needs wider tree spacing due to longer overall footprint - Higher weight and bulk than minimalist options - Tree straps not included in the standard box

JungleNest Hammock
ENO
If you have ever tried to sleep in a standard hammock during black fly or mosquito season, you know an open hammock is useless without full bug protection. The ENO JungleNest combines a dedicated sleeping hammock with a fully integrated no-see-um mesh canopy, turning a breezy lounger into a sealed backcountry bivvy. What sets this model apart is its structural spreader-bar ridgeline system, which vaults the mesh up and away from your face and chest, completely eliminating the claustrophobic dread of netting draping across your skin. Setup is clean and intuitive. The netting zips open with a full-length zipper, making midnight exits hassle-free. Inside, hanging loops and internal pockets provide sensible organization for your headlamp, phone, and glasses. When the bugs subside, the entire netting system can be unzipped, rolled back, and stowed out of the way, giving you a conventional open hammock for daylight lounging. The ripstop nylon fabric is robust and holds up well against trail grit. Because the JungleNest incorporates an internal DAC featherlight spreader bar, zipper tracks, and dense mesh, it carries a noticeable weight and bulk penalty compared to standard gathered-end slings. It also does not include a tarp or tree suspension straps, so you will need to pack a separate rainfly if precipitation is on the radar. **Highlights** - Integrated no-see-um bug net with full-length zipper access - Internal spreader bar vaults netting up and away from the sleeper - Mesh can be unzipped and stowed away when insects are absent - Internal gear pockets and ridgeline attachment points - Sturdy ripstop nylon bed with reinforced stress points **Watch-outs** - Suspension straps and rainfly sold separately - Heavier and bulkier than standard gathered-end hammocks - Requires assembling the small canopy bar during setup
