exceptional reply. thank you very much, and agreed on all points.

I love the Hummingbird Hammock. They have great hammocks. By “durability” I would say it is fine; it will last you many years. But any UL hammock I am much more careful about keeping it off the ground to avoid punctures and scrapes.

I really like your review. Unbiased and fact based. I was wondering if you have an opinion on the durability of hummingbird hammocks. I’m upgrading from a Amazon $20 hammock with net to an UL hammock for section hikes of the AT we do every year. We typically do a 4-5 day and I use for weekend campouts too. Any thoughts on durability?

Hey Derek, just to let you know that this hammock + onetigris UQ worked really well for our first backpacking trip! Bought the double sized onetigris UQ (roomier for asym lay), temps dipped to 50f and I was toasty warm.

Only complaint is indeed the smaller size. What I found is that its possible to get comfortable, but the comfort really depends on the suspension angle. Anything too “tight” and it will make it hard to get a good diagonal going. When trying the setup at home (parks, etc) I was very comfortable (30 degree angle), really no problem. Could sleep in this for hours. However out in the woods I only had trees that were wayyy furter apart than what I really wanted. Even putting the suspension as high as I could, I had to adjust the suspension (whoopie slings) to be pretty tight (or else the bottom of the hammock would touch the ground). That made everything less comfortable. Not sure that’s really the fault of the hammock or operator error…

Will probably want to upgrade later, but still really happy that this hammock got me out in the woods for cheap. Thanks!

If you’re just starting, the OneTigris is a great option. Also check out OneWind.

Americans’ hunger for having the cheapest possible products created the very demand and manufacturing of the products that Americans now love to complain about.

You want quality product? Pay for it.

And because of lower labor costs, access to raw goods and manufacturing experience, I guarantee that I would get a better product for my $100 in a Chinese factory than anywhere in the U.S.

They will work fine and are budget friendly. Other options are Arrowhead Equipment and OneWind.

Thanks!
