How well does the Chameleon pack down?

**mrstop** · 08-03-2017, 21:29

I'm considering the Chameleon to add some comfort and bugnet versitility over my DIY "Ghost" hammock. However, space is a bit of a premium in my pack and I have gotten spoiled by a sub 9 oz setup the size a little larger than a baseball. The hammock a bugnet look huge in the videos, but it is hard to judge. Are there packed dimensions of the Chameleon and it's accessories? Can the bugnet and hammock fit into the same bag assembled? How much can you compress it?

I have mine with the top cover in the stuff sack it came in. Packs down to about the sizeof my forearm. Could be packed down smaller but I like the ease of packing it up through the double ended stuff sack.

I always get a stuff sack larger than stuff sack that is sold with hammock and tarp. This makes it easier to pack in morning.

With bugnet i can pack mine down to about the size of a nalgene. But like stated above i do not because i like the easy of the double sided stuff sack. The whole setup gets compressed in my pack eventually anyways.

Thanks for the info!

This depends on which material/material weight you are considering as well.

I keep mine [2.0Hex] in an older, longer Dutch sleeve that came with a netless. About the size of my forearm with either top, but squishes down much more in the pack.

Do you guys know if the stuff sac Dutch has on his site is the same as the chameleon stuff sac?
I love the Chameleon stuff sac and can fit all 3 parts and my tree straps in the sac

Dutch: did you shorten up the specs on that?
I really like the longer one that came with my netless a couple of years ago. I'd rather "stuff" the size down in my pack than get a hockeypuck that I have to fit in.
