    REI stopped carrying Hennessy?

    Anyone notice that REI is not carrying Hennessy stuff anymore. There online selection has trickled down to just the large Hex Fly. Just a few months ago they had the hyperlight, the Expedition, Explorer and Scout. Last week they just had old bottom entry style explorers. Today no Hennesy hammock at all.

    Anyone know if this is just temporary, or is REI done with selling Hennessy?

    I hope not, because I was going to use my next year's dividens to buy my first Hennessy.

    I think I read somewhere on here that Tom Hennessy wanted to pull out of retail locations and only sell through the hennessy site.

    That was REI response to my inquiry E-mail

    Thank you for the inquiry regarding the Hennessy Hammocks being offered from REI.

    We currently offer only one model from Hennessy Hammocks, the Hennessy Hammock Ultralite Backpacker Asym Zip Hammock item #814263. Once we get back to the warmer time of the year, we do have quite a few more options.

    Generally in March, is when we start to have more warmer items appearing in our stores and on the website as well.

    If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.

    Its funny because ENO stuff is always available at REI online, regardless of the season

    Why on earth would someone who sells outdoor gear, not want REI to carry it?

    30-40% margin plus maybe eating too many stupid returns may have made it not worth the effort when he can just sell word of mouth off his web site.
