Comments about ENO SlapStrap PRO:

Just got them in the mail today. I decided on the "pro" model because the regular slap straps had some negative reviews as far as being to short to wrap around stout trees. From my judgement it seems like eno has made the "pro" model plenty long enough... they are roughly 9 ft. long so they should wrap around trees up to around 2.5 ft. in diameter. After trying some different set ups in the back yard I found out they also will work well on smaller trees, I even secured it to a fence post, you just have to wrap it around smaller diameter objects enough times to take all the slack out.

Comments about ENO SlapStrap PRO:

Ok, first thing to know is that this review is coming from the viewpoint of a backpacker. That being said, here we go.

These straps would be great if all you did was car camp or hung in the backyard; they're very simple and easy to set up. HOWEVER, these straps stretch WAY too much! The reason being is because they're made of Nylon, which stretches over time. Because of this, I DO NOT recommend these for backcountry camping. Believe me when I say it's no fun to wake up with your backside on the ground. These straps would be great if made of poly or another type of webbing...nylon just isn't the right material. If ENO ever makes these out of something besides nylon, I'll definitely buy them.

So to recap, great for car camping...horrible for overnight, backcountry camping. The design is simple and easy. However, if you plan to spend any significant amount of time in them, be prepared to hang higher than usual, otherwise you'll end up on the ground.

Do not use these straps

Comments about ENO SlapStrap PRO:

I use a hammock when hiking and camping. I would NOT use these straps other than for a nap in the yard.

These straps are very stretchy. This has a negative impact on the way the hammock hangs. Instead of nylon straps you should use polyester webbing (similar to your seatbelt). The polyester will not stretch overnight leaving you dragging on the ground and will generally be stronger and less likely to break.

If you want some great information on materials to use and the correct way to hang a hammock I suggest visiting the hammock forums website.

Comments about ENO SlapStrap PRO:

Decided on the pro after reading reviews. With this length I'm usually able to find trees close enough, especially in the woods. More in a park setting I have had to extend them with other rope. Before I got these I used one of those yellow racheting car tie down straps. They worked great and can get really long, but would damage bark if I wasn't careful. I still bring that car camping in case I need to attach it to the slapstrap. The only con really is that they are SUPER stretchy. When extended fully they have to be put about 7 feet on the tree to not hit the ground with two people. I like to swing dangerously in the hammock and I have hit my bootie on the ground more than once. Of course that is my own fault. Overall, if the yellow tie downs didn't hurt the trees I'd just stick with them.

Don't use these

Comments about ENO SlapStrap PRO:

I use my hammock for sleeping instead of a tent. These straps are made from Nylon which stretches, really messing up the way the hammock hangs. If you are interested in getting real gear for hammocking that does not stretch use polyester strapping. You can also find great information on the hammock forums website about the proper materials and way to hang a hammock.

With these straps you will wake up on the ground because they stretch! If you want to use them in your yard for naps they will most likely be fine.

Comments about ENO SlapStrap PRO:

I'm either going to return these or use them for a gear hammock. The stretch in these straps is almost absurd. I hung my hammock at almost shoulder level and still ended up with my butt dragging the ground. Inexcusable.

Comments about ENO SlapStrap PRO:

I picked these up when I first started hammock camping, and they now sit unused in my closet. I dislike them for several reasons.

The Pros

-Quick to set up

The Cons (Begin Rant)

1) My main complaint is that it be difficult get the proper tension on my hammock when using these straps. Granted, they are quick and simple to wrap around a tree and clip in (I use carabiners on my Clark hammock), but nearly every single time I have camped with these straps, that perfect 'spot' on the straps where I could need to clip in to get the correct tension to make my hammock comfortable would be located between 2 of the loops. To fix this I would have to rehang the straps or untie and readjust my carabiners.

2) They are weak. The listed rating on these straps is something like 250-300 lbs. What if you want to have a second person in the hammock? I guess you cant... My guess is that this is because the loops are separate lengths of webbing sewn onto the main strap this might creates a weak point.

3) Overpriced. I have since bought 2 lengths of climbing webbing that are listed at 800 lbs for less than $5 for the pair.

This is a neat idea in theory, but one that fails in execution. Do yourself a favor. Go buy yourself some climbing webbing (straps) and LEARN TO TIE A BOWLINE KNOT! Its something everyone should know. That will allow you to set up your hammock faster, adjust the tension quicker, bear twice the weight, and is 5x less expensive.

(End Rant)

Comments about ENO SlapStrap PRO:

So, many reviews complain about the slapstraps stretching. They do. Absolutely. I have not slept in them over night, but when I set up my EMO Doublenest in the park, unless I rigged the hammock very high, it wasn't too hard to end up with my butt on the ground.

I've ordered some polyester webbing, after reading that the poly doesn't stretch like nylon does.

However, these straps are a super fast way to set up your hammock. I can throw them and the hammock in my bike bag, and take the comfort anywhere. I think they work best for day use, versus an overnight.

Comments about ENO SlapStrap PRO:

When I started hammocking, I bought these. Much better than the ENO Slap Straps (get the PRO). Great design and convienent to use for a NOOB.

However, as stated before, they are NYLON not poly. They stretch like crazy and despite putting the ENO at head height, I end up with my backside on the ground.

If you are looking for anything other than a backyard hang, look into purchasing either whoopie slings (Amsteel cord)or "polyester webbing suspension".
