The Hennessy Hyperlight Asym Zip hammock shelter combines durability and comfort with light weight and packability. It's perfect for thru-hikers and those who want to minimize their load.

Asymmetric shape of hammock bed improves comfort; asymmetric rainfly improves coverage
Hammock also functions as a chair/lounger; with a pair of trekking poles (sold separately), it functions as a tent
Integral ridgeline design holds a comfortable shape each time the hammock is set up; keeps your back straight and level when resting diagonally
Strong, #8 zipper features double sliders for easy adjustments to the hammock and mesh; entry is from the side on the Hennessy model
Patented "easy entry" is through the bottom; automatically snaps shut behind you as your weight tensions the entrance closed; has rip-and-stick closure
No-see-um mesh canopy keeps the bugs away while allowing air circulation
Gear pocket suspended from ridgeline holds small personal items
Waterproof, asymmetric silnylon rainfly can be adjusted at any angle for weather protection; can be rolled up or completely removed for separate use
Support ropes are lightweight 1200 lb. test, polyester-covered Spectra® cord
Low-impact design requires no ground leveling, trenching or staking; complementary polyester webbing straps protect tree bark
Floor dimensions: 108 x 48 in. diagonally; weight capacity: 200 lbs.

Comments about Hennessy Hammock Hyperlight Asym Zip Hammock:

Wet muddy ground, rocky ground, heavy brush, steep slope, whatever it was, I got tired of not being able to pitch my tent there. If you camp where there are trees, you'll never have any trouble finding a place to hang this hammock. Plus it's light and an heck of a lot more comfortable than the ground. I've hung in pouring rain, but nary a drop has made it under the tarp. I love this hammock.

Service and delivery comments:

These people are great to deal with. Delivery was prompt, delivery of replacement parts has been prompt and customer service is very friendly and forthcoming. I have no complaints whatsoever.

Comments about Hennessy Hammock Hyperlight Asym Zip Hammock:

Good product for certain situations. Lightweight, but limited to 200 lbs.
A tall person would be uncomfortable.
Mainly the webbing that hold it on the tree are way too short!! The ropes are thin and the side ropes are too short.

Comments about Hennessy Hammock Hyperlight Asym Zip Hammock:

As noted before by other reviews, it takes a bit of practice...but not much. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out what level actually is when you're setting up on a steep slope with no level reference except your brain. The HH website is full of tips to ease the transition to hammock hanging.
One of my favorites is: use a small, lightweight, inexpensive, plastic LINE LEVEL from the hardware store and hang it on your ridgeline during setup to confirm that you are level. You can even read it from a reclining position to help you get the hammock angle adjustment exactly right every time.
I sleep perfectly in my HH. If it's cold or windy outside, be sure to add insulation underneath. Either use an underquilt outside the hammock and a pad inside, or a reflective bubble pad like a summer truck windshield cover. Vary your setup depending on the conditions - just like you do in a tent.
Have fun and ENJOY your hammock!
