Ultralight Backpacking Hammock

The Hummingbird Hammocks Ultralight Backpacking Hammock is the lightest weight, smallest packing hammock on the market. It weighs less than a lemon packs smaller than a coffee cup, holds up to 300 pounds, and is designed by an FAA Certified Parachute Rigger. It's built with no bulky metal pieces, using actual FAA-certified reserve parachute material, and uncoated 1.1oz calendared ripstop nylon only made in the United States of America - the very same fabric that is packed into the reserve container of every single skydiving and BASE jumping parachute system.

It may be thin, but with a minimum tensile strength of 50 lbs per square inch, you can rest comfortably knowing these hammocks have you held safe and sound. The uncoated nature of the fabric keeps the hammock from feeling clammy against your skin, and the windproof requirement of true parachute fabric keeps the cold wind at bay. The hammock is also lock stitched using mil spec bonded nylon thread. Lock stitching, as opposed to the chain stitching seen on many other hammocks, produces a stronger stitch that is much less likely to unravel and can continue to perform well even if part of the seam has been compromised.
