SingleNest Hammock
ENO
The ENO SingleNest is stripped-down simplicity for solo campers who prioritize packed volume and minimal weight over sprawling fabric. It utilizes the same durable nylon taffeta and triple-needle construction as the flagship DoubleNest, but trims roughly a foot and a half of width from the body. That narrower footprint shaves weight and reduces bulk in your daypack, making it an ideal companion for day hikes, bike overnights, or hanging around the fire pit when you know you will not be sharing the space with anyone else. The trade-off is directly tied to sleeping ergonomics. Because there is less material across the beam, finding a true flat diagonal lay takes careful technique. Taller campers or those with broad shoulders will feel the sidewalls pulling taut, sometimes causing shoulder squeeze or calf ridge pressure over an eight-hour night. For lounging, reading, or naps, it is exceptionally comfortable and avoids the cocooning excess fabric that can flap in the wind on a double-sized model. Hardware matches the rest of the ENO lineup, featuring quality wiregate carabiners permanently looped into the gathered ends. Just remember that the SingleNest does not include tree straps, so you must supply your own suspension system before heading outside. **Highlights** - Compact packed volume ideal for daypacks and bike bags - Less excess fabric to flap or wrap around your face while lounging - Triple-stitched seams and robust gathered-end design - Included wiregate carabiners for quick clipping - Breathable fabric that dries quickly after damp mornings **Watch-outs** - Narrower width limits diagonal sleeping positions for taller users - Suspension straps must be purchased separately - Prone to shoulder squeeze during full-night sleeps

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
