The short answer

ENO DoubleNest Hammock
Ranked #3 in Best Portable Hammocks
ENO DoubleNest Hammock
2 sources1 derived$75as of Aug 1

The ENO DoubleNest is the everyday classic, a tried-and-true two-person hammock with triple-stitched 70D nylon, upgraded hammock-rated hardware, and a 400-pound capacity. OutdoorGearLab recommends it for everyday use and GearJunkie rates it 8.5/10. It's spacious enough for two and packs to the size of a sleeping pad. The main knock: that durable fabric isn't as soft as some rivals.

Strengths
  • — Tried-and-true everyday design sold in numerous colors
  • — Triple-stitched 70D nylon taffeta with upgraded hammock-rated carabiners
  • — Spacious 8'9" x 6'3" canopy fits one cocooned or two relaxing
Watch-outs
  • — Crinkle-treated fabric still isn't as soft as the Kammok Roo or TrunkTech
  • — 400-pound capacity trails the 500-pound budget doubles here
  • — Straps often sold separately depending on the bundle

Grand Trunk TrunkTech Double
1 sourceall derived$69.99as of Aug 1

The TrunkTech Double is the ultralight-soft pick: a bedsheet-soft 40D micro-grid ripstop hammock that packs nearly half the size of ordinary parachute nylon at roughly 12-16 ounces, with a 500-pound capacity. GearJunkie's tester was won over by the silky feel and tiny packability. The catch is that, like any bare hammock, you'll want a bug net and underquilt for serious overnight use.

Strengths
  • — Bedsheet-soft 40D micro-grid ripstop nylon fabric
  • — Packs nearly half the size of ordinary parachute nylon hammocks
  • — Lightweight at roughly 12-16 ounces for the hammock
Watch-outs
  • — Needs an add-on bug net and underquilt for overnight comfort
  • — Straps and carabiners are minimal; some buyers upgrade them
  • — Thin ultralight fabric demands a little more care
