Higher ratedRanked #2 in Best Portable Hammocks

ENO DoubleNest Hammock

4.5

$74.95as of Jun 7

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: the 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

Ranked #3 in Best Portable Hammocks

Grand Trunk TrunkTech Double

4.4

$44.97as of Jun 7

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 its 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
