The Explorer Deluxe Asym hammock was designed to give more room with a 300 lbs weight capacity and the ablity to accomodate someone over 6 ft tall. At 3.9 lbs, the new A-sym shape provides impressive space and comfort when resting on the diagonal. Also, a larger canopy designed for better protection from wind and rain makes camping a little easier. The Deluxe A-sym has a large silicone nylon fly and 2200 lb. test ropes. The additional space can also be used to store a lightweight pack at the head end of the hammock.

Two glove hooks are also threaded on the ridgeline and can be used for attaching LED lights and even attaching a drink can by the hole in the pull tab. All hammocks ridge lines are installed with a loop on each end, to which a small caribinier can be hooked to hold daypacks, water bottles, and other small items which are too heavy to hang over the ridge line. The ultimate sleeping and camping gear.

 "I prefer a stuff sack" 2010-02-13
By Scott P. Smith (Marietta, GA)
I bought a pair of these for my Hennessy hammock. I tried them, but I think I prefer using a stuff sack. Using the snakeskin takes up more space than a stuff sack. But if you attach it to the outside of your pack, that probably does not matter. I did not like the way the snake skins bunch up at the ends of the hammock. It makes using the hammock in tight spots a little harder. I tried to put both the tarp and hammock into the snake skins. That works, but if you do that, you can't easily put the tarp on a separate line (running above the hammock), the way you see in the pictures. So all-in-all I would not recommend it, but your mileage may very. I have heard some people strongly endorse the snakeskins, but after using them, I do not understand why.

 "Essential part of the Hennessy" 2009-08-10
By Reginald M. Dela Cruz
If you have a Hennessy hammock or other bundled hammocks this is an indispensable piece of gear. It cuts setup and take down time in half. Which is a pretty amazing feat since setup is already simple. I am able to roll up the hammock, rainfly, and even stash the tent stakes inside of the snakeskin. I wrap the treehuggers and excess rope tightly around the whole thing making it an extremely compact lightweight sleeping unit.



The best part is the snakeskins are waterproof so you can wrap it around your pack or hook it to the outside and not worry about it getting wet.

 "Hennessy equals happiness" 2009-03-24
By John E. Walker (Almirante, Panama)
It's going on six years now - my sleeping in a Hennessy (1925 nights). No more beds. I use the longest Thermarest mattress made (it leaks, but that doesn't matter). I have three pillows which I locate where needed - hips and legs mostly. I'm in Panama and the no-seeum netting retains too much heat nine months of the year - so I use a fan to stay cool. It's so nice not to have to share your bed with snakes, skeeters and other critters. Most mornings I wake up in exactly the same position I went to sleep. It's changed my life. There are lots of soldiers in Iraq who love their Hennessys, so I'm surprised there aren't more reviews here. Get the biggest one you figure you might need - the extra room makes a big difference. It's an excellent idea, very well executed, and can change your life.

 "HENNESSY EXPLORER DELUX" 2009-02-27
By John (Coastal NC)
Wow this is nice I was told a little cool in winter. So I got Lost ranger 15 degree sleeping bag and a thermarest pad (pad goes in under the bag so you don't slide off. I have since added some foil insulation with the bubbles. I haven't tried this out just yet. But I t should help. I like this hammock I am glad I got the Deluxe one. It is a little larger and this helps storing stuff inside.

I have had a knee replacement (within 3 months) and thought that may be a problem. Sometimes I'd sleep on my side and sometimes I'd feel like my feet were up in the air. This may of been the way I hung it.

This real fast and easy to set up and gave me a great night sleep. I was not cold down to upper 30's and where we camped you couldn't of set up a tent. To many trees and too rough of ground. I also got a fly and we set this up over the hammocks and out front so we could cook and set up chairs under a tarp.

Get one for everyone. Also look up hammock camping on the web you will find a lot of great ideas.

 "Hands On Review" 2009-09-12
By C. Hoang
I Purchased this product and it shipped on time, the only thing that I didn't like about it was the instructions printed on the carrying bag were not very good. I went to a wilderness trip with with friends who were carrying tents. For a wooded area, this is item is ideal. Easy and fast setup and it was very comfortable sleep because the weight of my body (200lbs) was evenly distributed. The velcro entrance was a concern in the beginning but it was very convenient hopping in and after I laid down the velcro sinched really well. My friends had a hard time finding flat ground to setup and they said their backs did not feel good afterwards. This hammock is ideal for a forest but if you're going to a prarie/grassland or a place with out a lot of trees you would be better off with a tent. The mosquito net works great.

 "Coolness (literally)" 2009-07-06
By W. Hinsch (Columbia, SC USA)
If most of your camp sites will have trees or if you want to "stealth" camp off the trail and away from camp sites, this is the way to go. I've tried various mattresses and such trying to get comfortable on the ground. However, since I'm not a spring chicken and I carry a little more avoirdupois than some, those pressure points are miserable. Also, I generally don't sleep well on my back.



This shelter solved both issues. First, I can sleep on my side if I want to and there are no pressure points. However, depending on my angle in the hammock, it is just as easy to sleep on my back. It is like sleeping in a very soft recliner leaned most of the way back.



The bottom fabric and rain fly are both somewhat translucent (like a green shower door), and of course you can see clearly out of the sides with the no-see-um netting on top of the hammock. In a pitch black forest with lightning bugs all around, it was simply magical. Not wanting to miss a moment of that display was the only thing that kept me awake, then I slept like a baby.



The notes about cold are spot on. On a 50 degree night with a 40 degree sleeping bag, I was just on the verge of being uncomfortably cold underneath. There are various work-arounds, including using a mattress (which seems to defeat some of the ultralight advantages). The company even sells a kit that is supposed to turn this into a true four-season shelter. I'll try the inexpensive and lightweight workarounds first.



I've seen competing products for less money. However, some were nothing more than a camouflage-colored regular hammock made out of cheap nylon with no netting or rain fly. For overall quality, comfort, flexibility, and ease of use, you'll have a hard time going wrong with this product. If it doesn't work out for your style of backpacking or camping, you could set it up in the yard and have an outstanding bug-free hammock there.

 "You will never want to sleep in a tent anymore!" 2006-09-11
By Erika Sohn (Mexico City)
Great product. Lightweight, compact and guaranteed to give you a great night's sleep. I have used a Hennessey Hammock (ultralight asym) for several years

on backpacking and caving trips. It is a great, durable and tough product! Contrary to what many people might think, sleeping in a hammock, especially a Hennessey Hammock, is a great experience. You will never wake up with a sore back again. This hammock is roomy (due to an asymmetric geometry), won't leak and you can set it up in about two minutes, any place where there are two anchor points (I've used my jeep's roll bars and a tree). You will be able to pitch your hammock where no tent would ever fit (on slopes, in caves, over uneven ground, etc) and it allows you to escape crowded camping grounds. In case there are no anchors, you can pitch it as a bivy using two trekking poles although, in this case, a ground cloth would be preferable, since the hammock fabric is not waterproof.

The tarp can be set up in different ways depending on weather conditions and I have never had a drop of rain inside my hammock in many rainy nights.

One thing has to be considered when sleeping in a hammock in cold conditions: your back gets cold, so don't forget your sleeping pad or a lightweight dashboard sunshield for warmer nights.

The hammock is enclosed with noseeum netting and is entered from the bottom, as you transfer your weight to the hammock, a velcro closure seals the entrance from all kinds of critters.

Another great thing is that the hammock has a small pocket hanging from an internal "clothesline'' that also serves as a tension line for the netting. You will not damage the trees you hang from, since the hammock comes with 1 inch polypro webbings attached to the lines.

There are two features I would like this hammock to have: a removable netting for hot, critterless nights and a larger tarp for cooking in rainy conditions.



My hammock has displaced my tents, especially on backpacking trips.

You will not regret having bought this hammock... I Love it!
