Foxelli Camping Hammock – Ultralight Hammock for Backpacking, Hiking, Festivals, Travel - Easy Setup with Tree-Friendly Ropes & Steel Carabiners, Heavy Duty Parachute Nylon

I purchased the purple/dark green hammock first, for myself, just to see if a lower priced hammock was worth it. The hammock arrived, upon opening the attached stuff sack, I noticed the carabiners were attached to rope instead of pictured nylon straps - this is okay because it feels more sturdy to me - just mentioning it because it's different than pictured. I had purchased these in conjunction with the Foxelli Hammock Straps XL, so I didn't have to fuss with the enclosed rope (I'm not comfortable with my knot tying skills). I would highly recommend those for that reason. My boyfriend, in trying to find a good spot to hang this, was testing it out. He's definitely under the recommended weight limit but heavier than I. We had some disagreement about mounting techniques - I think its acceptable to just sit on the sit on the short side and position yourself into it, he thinks you need to first straddle it, then position into it. Well, the straddling technique caused the stitching on the attached stuff sack to pop and it was left hanging by a thread. Not a big deal because I hang both this and the strap bag from the carabiners now anyhow. This is advertised as fit for two - I would have to disagree with this... I don't like my boyfriend that much. It's incredibly... cozy. I mean, we could both sit side by side, easily (which is perhaps what is meant?) but laying down together isn't an option. This being said - I purchased the blue/gray for him - this one coming with the nylon hammock-to-carabiner straps. I was a little skeptical because they looks so tiny compared to the rope I got on my first one but they're holding up quite well! If there were any alterations I would make to this design to better fit my needs it would be - a cup holder (somehow) and perhaps a secondary side loop to pull the side up for sun-blockage. My current solution is just to position my foot to make it more taut, pulling the side up more. I'm not sure how else to explain it but the side tends to hang down, otherwise (as opposed to cocooning the user) - this varies depending on how you position the hammock. I do homework in it so I place the head of the hammock higher in the tree so I'm in more of a seated position. All in all, very happy with this purchase and brand (I have several Foxelli products. I believe they are quality, for the price).

I can’t provide any photos right now since I am not at my moms, where the hammock is. However, I can say this hammock is amazing. Material feels amazing it looks great and is durable as far as I know. We have sat multiple people in the hammock at once and have not once had any issues or were scared of falling. (Obviously depends if you have something sturdy holding it.) I set ours up on our porch attached to two wooden posts and it’s great. The packaging was great they had nice little instructions and what not. The bag the hammock comes into actually can be used as a side pocket since it’s connected. The only issue I ran into was when I was setting it up, the instructions as I remember, showed some ropes I believe which we did not have, we had what is shown in the listed photos for the product so I’m not sure why thE instructions showed to tie ropes. Regardless, it was very easy to figure out on my own and haven’t had any further problems.

There are hundreds of options for these lightweight nylon hammocks. Some that come packed with accessories. I wanted a plain and simple hammock that would last through relaxing in the back yard all the way to backpacking in the mountains. I really only have two cons to this hammock: One, the carabiners that come with this, although tough enough for the job, are quite crude and I replaced them with stronger lightweight aluminum examples (a very inexpensive upgrade). And also the way the hammock is bicolored is via two other dyed pieces of material. Although there's no issue with strength here, I'd like to see as few seems as possible. This has led to a lot of small frayed sections that were easily fixed with a quick snip and a lighter. Overall it's been a great hammock that weighs almost nothing and has proven to be as durable as much more costly options. A side note: both mine and the other Foxelli hammock I purchased for my girlfriend came with a small flashlight and a paracord bracelet. At such a low price point this was so awesome to see. Foxelli appears to genuinely care about making a customer base happy. Hard to say the same for a lot of these small dealers with names you can't pronounce.

Lightweight, strong, easy to pack up, easy to hang up, great all around, hammock to have in your pack. Kids took it to camp, use it in the backyard, use the beach, use the camping!

It's a really easy set up and is very comfortable. It is quite durable too. I weigh 210 pounds of Twinkies and protein shakes and it held up quite fine. The only thing I would change would be the knot tying tips. I typically hold the two ropes together wrap it around the link and knot it together and do that twice. It is kinda vague on this in the instructions but it makes sense for them not to specify either. Anyways, if you are looking for a good solid hammock with some cool designs, especially for the price this is a good one. This company has good quality gear for a really good price. I'm a college student and an avid backpacker so trust me when I say I try to find the best quality stuff for cheap. Hope this helps y'all.

This is the third item that I have purchased from Foxelli. It uses the same 210T nylon that the other manufacturers are using, but the others charge 2-3x as much. This hammock is comfortable, does not sag due to the material quality, and is wonderful to set up and lounge around in, whether it be at home, in the woods, or on the beach (just find some palm trees!). I also have 2 LED headlamps that my son and I have used for spelunking with his scout troop. I love Foxelli's brand of outdoors gear! They are reasonably priced, good quality and durable, and perform perfectly as described. If anyone is looking for some camping or outdoors gear, I highly recommend giving Foxelli a try. This is my honest review of their products that I have purchased so far, and I did not receive any type of compensation or item in exchange.
