A hammock is a must have for me on my backpacking trips and I was looking for an ultralight version to help me save some weight. Tried this one out recently and it was PERFECT! Light and packs down small. Easy to set up and super comfortable. Plus I love the color! Highly recommend.
This is going everywhere with me now! down to the river? Hammok time. Up the mountain? Hammok time. MTB with someone who has more energy than me? Hammok time.
Easily one of the most lightweight hammocks out there. Now, of course to save weight the dimensions are reduced. I am 5'10" and I would say that I am probably near the max height for this hammock but I was still able to achieve a comfortable nights sleep. My normal go to hammock is an ENO single nest which is of course more comfortable but at only 5 oz this is my new go to for ultralight backpacking. I have had other ultralight hammocks that have ripped on me but after a 40 mile 4 night trek in the Smokies this hammock seemed no worse for wear.
I was really excited to try the Roo Single Ultralight because of how small it packed down while still being able to supposedly support 300lb. However, on my very first use it split right in half, unceremoniously dumping me on the ground. I weigh about 190 so nowhere near the load limit. Based on some other reviews it seems this is a common enough problem. I returned it the next day and got the regular Roo Single instead and it’s working great!
When it's all packed up, I can't believe how pocket sized it truly is! Now I can easily throw it in my bag on a bike ride and know it won't weigh me down. The toggles are so neat and make set up easy. Who knew packing a hammock could be as simple as remembering your cell phone?
I literally have a few hammys around my house, can’t sleep on mattresses! Garage, bedroom patio and in yard. They are all different but good quality hammys. The Roo travels with me and I use it daily I got permanent mounts and setting up takes 90 seconds!
Very great and so tiny. I look forward to taking it on some backpacking trips but for now it is a lifesaver in my backyard during this quarantine.
This is a super small and lightweight option. Great for taking breaks on day hikes or just getting off your feet for a bit on a backpacking trip.
Light. Comfortable. Easy set up. What else do you need to know?
Thanks for the review! The only thing we'd love to know is the story behind the gorgeous place you're hanging in the photo you've shared. Thank you for choosing us to equip your time outside.
Took it out of the box, hung it from two trees in the back yard, heard a rip, and was suddenly laying flat on the ground. Liked the size, didn't like the ripping in half immediately upon first use.
