my eno single nest

my eno single nest hammock has treated me well for about 4 months now and i love it. so i wanted to share my opinion about this hammock in hopes that it helps someone on the forums. i like this hammock very much but i do find that the stock carabiners are a little heavy so i suggest getting separate set of carabiners. the eno hammock is made of ripstop nylon (the stuff they make parachute with) while the bottom of the eno hammock is a little chilly so i suggest a sleeping pad if you do not have one already. this hammock packs down extremely well. and is very light wight. you can get it in good colors i have the red eno single nest hammock. the single nest hammock cost 55.00 American money plus tax. not sure in other countries overall i give this hammock a 9 out of 10 hope you found this review helpful give me your hammock set -ups also tell me how you like about your hammock
down below please :):)

Nice overview, thanks for sharing your thoughts! New carabiners and some sort of bottom insulation (a pad, or an underquilt) are both good suggestions.

ENO just released their new "ProNest" which has new aluminum caribiners and is slightly smaller than the SingleNest i believe for $65

thank you guys for your support and help i hope you guys have more help on the way as i have more post coming for you guys.

I bought my eno this past September and love it. I switched out the hanging gear for whoopies, slings and 2 black diamond carabiners. Saved some weight and bulk too. Enjoy your eno!

ENO Pronest was My Forced banishment to the tree's. I Too upgraded the biners, to lighter weight.. and Whoopies. As with sprayed it down with Permethrin(Hate skeeters & Ticks), plus drip cords to the ends. Great starter Hammock, Needs Underquilt to keep CBS in check.

Then I found this Forum. Wallet was fat, now it's been trimmed.. Upgraded to DL with whoopies, With Superfly bought today.. to further enhance my Hang.

Those biners were the first to go, now for this hammock all I use is the same rope the hammock came with fully extended knot taken out and long tree huggers and marlin spike.

Biners and rope had to go on my double nest. Just ran a whoopie through the channel works great for me. Also somebody please correct me if I'm wrong but I think ENOs are taffeta. Not ripstop. Mine defiantly doesn't look or feel like ripstop. Great idea to put your opinion on here keep on hangin

i started out in a eno single they are very good hammocks.

Me too!:D Still have it. Then went to a DN, and then several DIY, and found the one for me. I have thought about selling both ENOs, but I love the fabric, and they are great hammocks. I'll keep them and use them on occasion and use them as loaners. I have an *** SM that is interested in hanging. So come spring, when it warms up a bit, I have a few different that he can try........RR

The hammock is good but I am not a fan off the crap rope they put in or their bulky suspension.

thanks again guys for your support and suggestions on this topic

I actually won a single nest at the La hang last year. It's a fine hammock. I switched out the suspension with some whoopies. I like the fact that it has a compression sack built in :) I have the tan and black one (I really like the color combo)

Just curious, how is the SN versus DN in terms of breathability?

I am considering another parachute hammock (TTTM), and have heard that parachute hammocks can be a bit smothering with too much material. For that reason I wonder if the SN has enough room for someone 5'10" to sleep with a camping pad (eliminating any annoying extra material on the DN).

Is there a big difference between the TTTM and ENO? I may be stuck with TTTM as I've not seen an ENO over here (Ireland) where I live.

Thanks for the advice.

FWIW...parachute in "parachute hammock" is a reference to the fabric type and states nothing about dimensions. Also, as a reference to fabric type, it is fairly meaningless to me as I have seen many different fabrics called parachute nylon, etc.

Gmcttr,

Thanks for the reply. Apologies if I got the jargon wrong.

But ENO's Singlenest (SN) and Doublenest (DN) seem to more or less mirror the TTTM single and double, and since they appear to be relatively similar in style, etc., I'm assuming they are more or less cut from the same cloth (pardon the pun).

But that's part of what I want to find out.



I'm hoping someone familiar with both can tell me if the DN if indeed somewhat stifling and smothering unless you are a large person.

Thanks.

I like the extra fabric of the DN. I bought the DN because the wider the fabric is, the more diagonal I can lay. Plus there's enough space that two of us can lay in it.

Even though the fabric is breathable and wind will come right through, having the extra fabric also keeps in some of the heat and I can wrap it around myself. I tried both and decided to go for the DN for those reasons and if you're trying to decide between the two, I would recommend the DN.

btw - I'm 6'2" 190 so definitely not a large person and I don't feel smothered at all. In fact, the built in stuff sack holds the edge of the hammock over on one side.

Good info to have.

Thanks, Ike.

Sorry, Adam.

Not sure where I got "Ike" from. Another post perhaps.
That's for he info.

I switched out my singlenest for a DN recently. I love the extra fabric, because I can get a better diagonal lay which is much more comfortable for me. I also find the extra fabric retains a little bit of extra warmth. I also have issues trying to get my sleeping bag and foot pad situated, and several times with the SN I felt like I was going to flip out of the hammock while adjusting stuff.

I have an older singlenest and a newer one. Enjoy them both. When I bought the new one abouth a month ago I noticed they have remedied the craptastic heavy biners with new, lighter wire gate biners. We will have to wait and see how that works out(not sure of their quality) but it does cut the weight nicely.

my ENO has treated me well for years. I don't tend to carry it for long backpacking though. My homemade one is every bit as comfortable (if not as roomy), and literally 1/3 the weight and ~1/4 the pack size. Still, when you're not carrying the thing, I don't mind the extra room, or the softer, more plush taffeta. Also, a big +1 to replacing the stock suspension, I'm still amazed they use the one they do.

Good review, eno makes some good product. Like a lot have send it is more of a car camping than a bakcpacking

The carabiners are the first things to go on my ENOs I ended up looping whoopies straight through the gathered ends. I love the side pocket to keep books in when I'm lounging!

Yap, whoopie slings are the best!

I enjoy mine, but I can't wait to get a Dream or Meck hammock. Still trying to decide! I switched out the rope and binders. The slaps traps are crap. Crazy amounts of stretch. What I bought when I knew nothing about hammocking...[emoji19]

My ENO Doublenest has been very good to me. On those cold drafty nights I use the extra fabric on the doublenest to turn my hammock into a raccoon.

Nothing like a racoon to keep you warm at night.

Yes, the material is taffeta or the like, as opposed to ripstop.

I love my Dream Hammocks. I have had one in taffeta and three in ripstop. I prefer the ripstop & I love the new Hyper D fabric for an inside layer.

I was just looking at the Eno system with rain tarp and bug net. I saw one at the camp ground this evening and it looked pretty nice.
