It’s a hammock. It’s a tent. What could be better than that? This innovative design in
camping gear turns the traditional outdoor tent into a multi-purpose portable shelter in one.
With nifty features included, such as a hammock, mosquito netting, storm cover plank, and a
suspension frame to hang it all between two trees, you’ll never go back to traditional tents again.
The greatest advantage of purchasing an all-in-one hammock tent is that all the
parts fall into one place, making portability and storage easy and fuss-free. If you’re going
to have your first installation, try and practice with the cords first. Each part
can also be purchased individually from sporting goods shops but that could end up costlier in the
end. That’s why we highly suggest getting the all-in-one hammock tent set instead.
A clear benefit of sleeping on a hammock is that it's much more convenient,
particularly on highly-forested or mountainous terrain, where finding safe campsites on the
fly can be challenging or when finding flat, open-air campsites are few and far in between.
When you start getting used to sleeping on a hammock, you’ll be amazed by the quality
of your sleep, kind of like sleeping on a bed of greenery over the earth.
Here are the top 10 hammock tents that are ideal for any kind of terrain,
weather, and specific camping needs. Number 10. Kammok Mantis Ultralight
All-in-One Hammock Tent With a slogan that says, “lighten
your load so you can lengthen your journey,” you can already be sure this product is a top gear in
the camping world. The Kammok Mantis UL offers a full system-hammock with removable mosquito
netting and a plan and suspension system in the form of a rope. In terms of features, Kammok
outperforms when it comes to water-resistance, weather-versatility, and loading capacity of up
to 300 pounds. Likewise, the name speaks for itself, the Kammok is by father the lightest
weight hammock protection system mentioned here. The Mantis is a single hammock sheet so you can
use it for rear isolation with a sleeping pad or under quilt, which don’t come with the set,
though. See our study for the Mantis UL Hammock of the Kammok Pongo and the Kammok Firebelly Quilt.
Number 9. Hammock Gear Wanderlust Complete Kit for Hammock Camping
The Wanderlust Complete Kit is the real deal when it comes to hammock tents. Lightweight, low cost,
and so easy to use that even a first-timer camper could put it together confidently.
This hammock kit features an 11-feet long zip hammock with a mosquito net,
an 11-feet hex form waterproof tarp, and a suspension framework in design daisy-chain.
The long length of the hammock leads to a flatter layer at night,
which resembles quite like the boat-shape of a banana being peeled.
The Wanderlust’s knotless tarp also keeps you dry and allows you more space for
cooking outside the hammock. A mesh snakeskin is also provided to carry your tarp and stakes.
Hammock Gear also carries the highly-coveted Premium Burrow Top Quilt and Incubator Underquilt
separately, which you can get at 25-percent off if you buy both items together as a set.
Number 8. ENO SubLink Hammock Shelter System The ENO stands for Eagle’s Nest Outfitters,
which is right on target as this certain hammock tent redefines comfort while keeping
dry and safe from any insect bites. As one of the most lightweight hammock
products out there, the ENO SubLink set comes with a collecting end hammock, a separate mosquito net,
a rainfly, and a suspension device that’s easy to pack, especially if you’re on the go.
The hammock is a single sheet, a netless hammock - less than 9-feet long,
which makes it more suited to people who are 6-feet or less in height.
It also has a ridgeline to keep everything in place when you choose to use the optional bug net.
The SubLink includes the Suspension System Helios, a large knotless hammock suspension that can
minimize weight and enhance wind performance. Number 7. Hennessy Hammock Expedition Asym Zip
Purported to have started the hammock tent craze, the Hennessy Hammock was designed
with sideways sleeping in mind, just like how they do in native Central American tribes.
As a one-layer hammock, this is one of the lightest camping hammocks out in the market.
The Hennessy Hammocks Expedition Asym Zip has a breakable asymmetric hammock bed and rainfly
which decreases weight and improves comfort. The Explorer has a side zip to allow airflow
while completely integrating its mosquito netting to keep bugs outside at all times.
Its suspension system incorporates webbing braces for full power with a lightweight Spectra chain.
Hennessy is one of the most successful hammock producers that’s a constant favorite among
backpackers and campers alike. The integrated hammock tent system was a brainchild of their
founder, Tom Hennessy, and their products testify to their longevity and good reputation.
Number 6. Hennessy Hammock Scout Series Hammock Shelter System
Camping always comes to mind when talking about boys and girls scouts, and it’s no wonder the
lighter hammocks are a hit among this demographic as they are fun to use and lightweight to carry.
A lot of the outdoor camping gear products available on the market,
however, are designed more with adult campers in mind. Thanks to the Hennessy Hammock Scout Series
Hammock Shelter System however, kids and young adults can have something more tailored for them.
The Scout Series fits a standard child at 5-feet and 8-inches taller or less.
It comes with a mosquito net hanger, tarp and webbing belts for only 100 US dollars,
which is clearly a steal! The hammocks of the Scout series are offered with a side
zip input or the symmetric lower classic access that’s common in Hennessy gears.
Number 5. ENO OneLink Hammock Shelter System
You’ll love literally hanging out with the ENO OneLink Hammock Shelter System,
with its plush DoubleNest Hammock you can easily pack in a stuff sack.
Although significantly heavier, the ENO OneLink Hammock Shelter is a more luxurious
and spacious hammock shelter design compared to the ENO SubLink mentioned earlier. Its ENO
Doublenest Hammock feature makes it perfect for larger persons or those who want more space with
an optional separate insect network and an easier way to mount and dismount the tent. Its hammock
suspension system is a sturdy, simple-to-use daisy chain, while the included stem can be
mounted without knots. This shelter structure is completed by reflective guylines and tarp stakes.
Number 4. Exped Scout Combi UL Hammock With an innovative 3-season design feature,
the Exped Scout Combi UL Hammock is good to go, whatever the weather.
Comprising a full hammock shelter with a double-layer hammock with integrated
mosquito netting, internal gear storage pockets and a side zip for entry, the Exped Scout Combi
Hammock Shelter is portability at its finest. The hammock and tarp have a traditional webbing
and daisy chain type framework, with drop dams at ends that keep rain from moistening the hammock.
For more headroom, the mosquito grid can be connected to a ridgeline and sticks inserted
into the grid to make curved spreader bars. The tarp has lines for unknotted mounting and has
pockets for storing strings between applications, which, let’s admit, is a really neat feature.
Number 3. Grand Trunk Air Bivy All Weather Shelter and Hammock
With its updated Skeeter Beeter XT and Hexfly Rain Shelter features, the Grand Trunk Air
Bivy ensures you’ll never have to stuff a wet, dirty tent alongside your belongings ever again.
The Grand Trunk Air Bivy combines Skeeter Beeter XT Hammock with HexFly Tarp from Grand Trunk,
which helps keep the hammock tent sturdy and safe from the elements.
The Skeeter Beeter XT is a large 10-feet 6-inches single sheet hammock with an embedded mosquito
net that holds the aluminum spreading bars from its ears. The suspension mechanism is knotless
for ease of use and has even a loft to provide additional room. The HexFly is a massive 11-feet
7-inch rain fly that provides plenty of shelter while you are situated outside of your hammock.
Number 2. Lawson Blue Ridge Hammock There’s nothing quite like this hammock
tent. Designed to keep the camper in a comfortable back sleeping position,
the Lawson is probably what sleeping on a cloud feels like.
The Lawson Blue Ridge Hammock consists of a water resistant cover, a web suspension style, and an
incorporated insect fitting hammock supported by two lighter curved poles over your body. This
hammock is built to allow you to sleep on a flat surface and fits well with a standard sleeping
foam pad. The hammock is covered with waterproof cover and sheets without any separate suspension.
The Blue Ridge can also be installed on the ground if large trees are not within your camping site.
Number 1. DD Hammocks SuperLight Jungle Hammock System
For something that’s priced a lot less than most of the hammock tents mentioned here,
the DD SuperLight Jungle Hammock truly gives you more bang for your buck.
The DD Hammocks Superlight Jungle Hammock System is similar in some ways to the Lawson Blue Ridge,
with dispensing bars that hold the net from your face and has an embedded water-resistant tarp,
which you can use to defend against rain and wind. It has a double-layer floor,
so you can put a sleeping pad inside and keep yourself insulated, as well as an easy-to-use
knot-free whoopie suspension. You can also set the Jungle Superlight on the
field and use it as a bivy tent waterproof if trees cannot suspend it as a hammock.
