ENO unveils "lightest hammock on the market"

[CrankyOldGuy]

I've been using the Nano 7 for 4 or 5 years, I have larger hammock and I find the Nano more comfortable. I'm 5-10, 175/bs... 175 lbs, 5 oz. if I'm holding the Nano with their niners removed.

Couldn't you use it for gear storage?

I have my GT Nano down to 5.3 oz and still have the sack on it with cinch buckles instead of biners. I am 6'2" 250 and I sleep just fine in it. Would I be more comfortable in a larger hammock, yes, but it works for the trail and my summer setup (hammock, suspension, bugnet, tarp, and top quilt) is still under 2#. Works for me, love it.

I make all my hammocks 108"x48" before hemming. The sweet spot is not as large, but they are not uncomfortable. With a smaller hammock you can use a smaller tarp and carry less weight. Interesting that people that have never tried a small hammock say it cannot be comfortable - sort of like someone that has never tried a type of food saying it cannot taste good.

I plan on ordering the ENO Sub7 Hammock today. I have used the excuse I am buying hammocks for my family members, but no one uses them but me. I own two single nest, one double nest, and two jungle nest hammocks. After reading about hammocks made by American vendors, I ordered, with ridge lines, two 10’ and one 11’. I could not get the comfort ENO provides without a ridge line. Maybe it has to do with me being 5’9” and 240 pounds. Anyhow, I have decided hammocks are a lot like HYOH in hiking. Go with what is comfortable for you, but realize it can become an obsession.

Several people here have compared the sub7 to the GT nano, and rightfully so as they are pretty similar hammocks. I figured for some accurate comparisons, I would post the weight of the sub7 as weighed by me in my basement.

The hammock body alone (as most here would probably use and add their own preffered suspension) is right at 140g. That is 4.9oz, and includes the attached stuff sack.
