ENO  Atlas EXT Hammock Straps

Friends! These straps are meant to SUPPLEMENT your hammock straps by adding 10’ or distance to your system. They aren’t meant to be used on their own — they make your system far more versatile, as far as finding a location to hang.

When out hammock camping these extensions allow perfect hanging when: a) trees are further apart than hammock straps, b) campsites require 2" straps, c) trees have big diameters. I've put both of them together getting around a redwood.

I primarily have used a hammock setup in the yard with several large trees (hoping to use camping soon). I bought the extension straps along with the tandem setup for my existing Eno hammocks. These are perfect if the tree circumference is less than four feet. If it’s larger you’ll need standard atlas straps (or XL) and some extra 12kn carabiners to make it work safely with the Ext straps. Either way it expands your hammocking options for using larger trees or trees spaced farther apart provided you pack along a couple extra 12kn carabiners. I like that they are wider than the standard straps to help protect the tree. They also pack smaller and weigh a bit less than the full size straps. Would I take them backpacking? Possibly depending on terrain and overall load but I wouldn’t say these are absolutely essential in a backpacking situation.

Strong and easy to set up. Comes in a nice pouch.

First let me clear up some confusion in these reviews and product Q&As: 1. The product page calls these "hammock straps", but they're actually hammock strap extenders (hence "EXT"). Most of the negative reviews are from people mistakenly using these as their main hammock suspension. 2. There's a discrepancy on the product page where the specs say 400 lb total but the photos show a label that reads "400 lbs per strap". It is 400 for the pair: the label on mine is updated to read "200 lbs per strap". Now for the actual review: these straps are sturdy and well made. I mostly use them for car camping, where hammock hanging options are limited and these extenders give you a little more flexibility. You wrap them around the tree, feeding one end-loop through the other, and then clipping your hammock strap to the free end-loop. The idea is that the 2" width protects the tree (especially important if your hammock straps are less than 1" wide, as those can damage trees), and the 5' length is distance your main hammock straps won't have to cover, so you can hang from thicker or farther trees. If there's one issue, it's that if a tree is thicker than 18" (trees here in the PNW often are), the strap can't wrap all the way around. But I like these straps enough that I plan to buy a second set, that way I can carabiner two extensions together for use on thicker trees.

Lighter than my others which is nice when trying to minimalize as much weight as possible in my packs during longer trips

These are holding up great! Used them pretty consistently for the last six months and no issues yet.

Great straps to extend length of hammock, also better for the trees with the bigger surface area

Gets the job done! No sliding at all. The price was right .

Durable, easy to use, fantastic product. I used these straps to hang up my hammock easily in my yard and in the woods many times already. We are actually using our hammock more because these straps!
