Double hammock

• This double hammock is made of parachute fabric, a hard-wearing nylon canopy cloth that is light to carry and quick to dry.
• The long sides run into a heavier hemmed band, which carries the load along the fabric instead of into the seam.
• At 260 x 140 cm it is wide enough for one person to lie diagonally and long enough for two to sit.
• Rated to 200 kg and sized for outdoor use with kit on board.
• Comes with steel hooks and heavy webbing straps, so it is rigged and hanging in a couple of minutes.

Two-tone double hammock: colour backed by numbers

The colours are what people notice first, but the figures are the reason it stays in the pack. At 260 x 140 cm it takes two people sat together, and the 200 kg rating covers you and your kit with margin. The parachute cloth is soft to lie on and hard to tear, so a night in it does not feel like a compromise. It goes anywhere because folded down it is small and light. If you want a hammock that does the job and comes in more than army green, this is the one.

Multicolour nylon hammock: woodland or back garden

Same hammock, two lives. Hung between two trunks it gets you off wet ground on a weekend in the woods. Hung across the garden it becomes the spot everyone fights over on a warm afternoon. Bear in mind nylon lets rain through on its own, so run a tarp over it if you are staying out overnight.
