The Ultralite Backpacker Classic has our patented asymmetrical shape and structural ridge line to ensure exceptional comfort and a perfect set up every time.

The ultralight backpacker models are our most popular camping hammocks on the long trails because they are comfortable, compact and built to last. We know of one hiker who did 17000 miles / 25000 km including the triple crown in three years with one Ultralite Backpacker.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Most hammocks come complete with attached mosquito netting, detachable rainfly, support ropes, and compression sack with set up instructions on back. Hennessy Hammock also provides complimentary standard 42" / 107 cm long "Tree Hugger" webbing straps to protect the rope and the bark of trees. Because these accessory webbing straps are complimentary, they are weighed separately from the hammock.

Patented Features

Tom knew that the people of Central America sleep diagonally in their hammocks. So, with that knowledge, he changed the shape of his hammock into his patented asymmetrical design which lets you lie level on the diagonal with excellent support under your lower back and knees.

Because tree spacing is always different, the curve of a hammock is always different. The patented structural ridge line ensures the same shape every time you set up your hammock. This is the first time in history that you have the exact same comfortable bed every night and a perfect setup every time

Asymmetrical hammock shape (US Patent US6865757B2); Structural ridge line patent (US patent US20090165205A1) Also patented in the UK, EU, AUS/NZ, and Canada.
