    Anyone know anything about ENOS hammocks?

    I was looking at one today and was wondering if anyone could give me any info on these. I have been looking for a lightweight well constructed hammock for backcounrty hanging. I have a Claytor Jungle Hammock and was wondering how they match up performence wise. I was a little sceptical about the weight limit on such a lightweight hammock. The bag said it could hold 400lbs at only 18 ounces. Wanted to know if this is a true weight limit or not. Thanks for your help folks.

    I have an ENO single, alot use the double. It was my first hammock, no regrets. Light weight, nice fabric. I don't know about the 400lbs. I am 227lbs. and had my daughter in it with me, she's about 55lbs. That was just lounging around in the yard, wouldn't try overnight with 2 in it, just not enough room. I can NOT compare it to the Claytor Jungle, as to not ever using or seeing 1. I did remove the carabiners and use whoopie slings with a larkshead to the factory rope.

    I've had about 385 in an ENO double. Held fine, bent my poles.

    ENO hammocks are nice hammocks.

    I have had over 390 in my ENO DN and everything held strong except for the stretchy slapstraps. I love using my DN for everything from backcountry camping to relaxing in my yard.

    Me, my wife, my 6yo daughter, and my 3yo son. Claimed 400 and I had to test it to make sure they weren't lying.

    Okay, yes... I knew you guys aren't really 390# (or have a 395# date).
    I was only kiddin'
    I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings.
    (But you have to admit - 395# would be a BIG date)
