    Hello,

    Thank you so much. I meant the weight without the top (tarp) piece that attaches as a small roof.

    Thanks!

    When I weighed mine it was

    Body + Suspension Lines - 578 g
    Snake Skins - 45 g
    Bag - 24 g
    Tree Straps - 56 g
    Tarp - 261 g

    Total Without Tarp - 703 g = 24.8 oz
    Total With Tarp 964 g = 34 oz

    Oddly bad decision by whoever put together the Hennessy web site. They list 33oz as "Hammock Weight" and 7.5oz as the weight under "Canopy Specifications". Seems reasonable to read that as Hammock + Canopy = 40.5oz. Totally wrong. No wonder so many people think the silly things are made of lead.

    We'll ignore the numbers in the Hammock Gear Comparison Chart since they're different by another 10%.
