We’re swinging right into prime hammock season, so the timing is perfect for the ENO SkyLoft. This hammock eliminates the common “taco” effect of a gathered-end hammock by using spreader bars to create a truly flat surface. No backaches or hunched shoulders when you wake up from your siesta. At 3 pounds, plus the weight of accessories like a bug net & rainfly, the SkyLoft is really meant for car camping & backyard chilling rather than the backcountry.

The compression of your sleeping bag and clothing against the tension of the hammock can make you chilly. The Hammock Cocoon solves that problem. It encases your entire hammock with layers of Travelsoft insulation—this not only reduces compression but keeps you warmer and even reduces wind chill. Made of anti-bacterial fabric it stores in a compact compression stuff sack & weighs just 6 pounds.

Combine a tent and a hammock, you get the Tammock.

A combination hot tub & hammock, the Hydro Hammock also works as a portable hot tub liner for sand or snow, a hammock waterbed, and swinging pool. Let that all sink in. It’s got a water heating system that hooks up simply with your garden hose or it can draw water from a stream or lake.
