Best Camping Hammock - Reviews and Buyers Guide

Above all, Bear Butt has really impressed us. Not only do consumers love this company, their products, and their hammocks but it happens to shine just as bright for us as well. The company was started by a newlywed couple with big dreams of making their way honestly into a solid career.

They use a durable Nylon blend like other brands that promise to be durable and super lightweight. Bear Butt also states their hammock beds are weatherproof. The hammock setup gear is all included with each hammock purchase and still, with all of the gear the hammock is only going to add about a pound and a half to your pack, this makes it the best portable hammock on our list.

But being lightweight isn’t as impressive as how much the hammock holds, legally they can only say it holds up to 500 pounds, more than others we’ve seen. But it has been tested for… get this… 900 pounds! Unheard of! And how do they do it? We may never know.

Their products are extremely affordable and promise to always stay that way. The best part, their warranty is unlike any other we’ve ever seen, but always hope a warranty to be: no questions asked, no timelines or expirations if for any reason at all at any time, they will replace or refund the purchase.

Winners Outfitters is an international company with a large supply of products that promise 24/7 customer assistance when needed. We know little about their beginnings but consumers seem to really like their products and even more so their warranty when they don’t like their products.

This company states their double hammocks are the easiest to set up and take down and you clock it all in under three minutes. The hammocks are easy to use and easy to adjust depending on your terrain, resources (i.e. the trees around you) and your experience level. The hammock bed is soft, durable, strong and breathable and is rated up to 500 pounds of weight for up to two occupants.

This hammock comes with an attached stuff sack for not only the bed of the hammock but also the ropes and carabiners needed to pitch the hammock. All necessary equipment will add about a pound and a half to your sack. Overall they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee with super quick refunds if your expectations are not met.

The Eno Hammock is another winner we found. This is another small company turned big deal from two friends out of their garage in Florida to a national distributor out of North Carolina. This company promises quality and a while you’re supporting the benefits of a small, local company you won’t be sorry if something doesn’t go your way. They offer a two-year warranty for repair, replace, or refund. Some repairs are repaired for free for life, but if you’re really not happy they will replace or refund your product for up to two years.

Here we see yet another material blend, that promises durability and strength up to 400 pounds of weight while still being lightweight itself. However, the hanging hardware is sold separately and doesn’t come as part of the hammock purchase and while the hammock is a bit more pricey than other similar styles, it still is an affordable purchase. Like the other hammocks, this one comes with a stuff sack to easily store away your hammock bed.

Wise Owl started out as a small family company that continues to grow. Their reviews are phenomenal, price points are great, and the quality is right on target. Their hammock beds are made of a slightly different material than most but seem to be just as durable, soft, and breathable. All pitching hardware is included with each hammock, and bonus they are conscious about all their adventurers not leaving their permanent footprint by making certain their hardware is gentle on the trees but sturdy enough to keep you afloat.

This company makes certain to keep all their customers happy with a clear-cut warranty promising you’ll love their products or they will make it right. In the end, you’re going to be adding over 2 pounds to your pack, that’s quite an additional load weight, thus it may not be the best backpacking hammock, but the awesome durability and unique material blend may just be worth it for a quick camping trip.

Another small startup company turned successful, this New Mexico company was started by two friends who saw the need for a different point of view when it came to camping gear. Though we didn’t get to try this one out personally, we can definitely see how we missed out. Other consumers have a lot of great things to say about this company and its products and very little bad to say about it. Even if something does go wrong their customer service goes out of their way to make it right.

Their hammock is super strong and durable and extremely lightweight. All the hardware is included and they now offer upgraded straps that are even better than the ones they had before- easier to use and long lasting. They have an inventive trademark on their setup design for pitching your hammocks; it’s obvious they like to think outside the box.
