    It's just your typical parachute fabric hammock just like an ENO or Trek Light. Probably made in the same factory.

    That appears to be a typical HAAB (hook and attached bag) style hammock, possibly even a rebranded one from Travel Hammock.

    There are a few companies selling essentially the same hammock under different brands (and in differing color schemes) including ENO, Trek Light, Ticket To The Moon, Travel Hammock, etc.

    FWIW, it has been theorized that they are all made in Bali, where TTTM is based.

    Don't let it discourage you, though. The HAAB hammocks are nice, and I've spent many comfortable nights in one.

    It's kinda interesting how there are so many of these hammocks with so many different names. I'd love to know who the original brand was/is.

    I know the "S" hook is a Travel Hammock thing. Do any of the others come with the "S" hook?

    Comfortable, and cheap. I've seen ENO's at the local ACE hardware store and at the local discount sporting good store for anywhere between 15-60 bucks - same basic hammock.

    Not that I've seen. That's why I thought it might specifically be a rebranded one from The Travel Hammock Co.

    Odd. The Trek Light that I had came with a biner, not unlike the ones with ENO's, only smaller. Perhaps they have shipped with different hardware at times.

    Maybe the factory in Thailand or Bali or wherever these things come from put the wrong tags on different batches of hammocks?

    Does it really matter? They all seem to be the same hammock underneath it all.
