SkyLite Hammock

Great for comfort. Flat lay is amazing.

for the ultimate in remote napping - NO FLYS! dang pesky flies always interrupting me back-country nap time -BEGONE!!! :-D

The SkyLite is the second hammock I have purchased from ENO. I have had and utilized their JungleNest hammock for over a year so I will be using it as a comparative guide for this review. The SkyLite is a one person “bridge hammock” that allows one to sleep flat while suspended. It has two same sized spreader bars; one at the head and the other at the foot of the hammock. It is designed with side sleepers in mind which was the reason for my purchase. At first glance It is constructed of the same quality ripstop material the ENO JungleNest is composed of and includes an integrated bug net. Unlike my JungleNest the bug net on SkyLite does NOT zip around the entire hammock with the option of storing it in its attached storage bag. In fact, the storage bag for the SkyLite isn't even attached to the hammock unlike a majority of their other models. I am not a fan of storage bags that are not attached as they are easier to lose, misplace and/or blow away during set up. Similar to the JungleNest, the SkyLite is spacious inside with an integrated bug net that stays off of your face while resting which I LOVE. I have paired it with the TREKOLOGY Sleeping Pad for extra comfort and stability it definitely makes a difference. Addressing the reviews that have had issues with tipping I would say make sure your trees are 14-16 feet apart to hang the SkyLite properly and check your hang angle to avoid a face plant in the middle of the night. Remember don’t hang your hammock any higher than you are willing to fall! I personally did not experience any issues with feeling “tippy” or actual tipping while testing this out. The shoulder space is magnificent and doesn’t provide the “shoulder squeeze “ like traditional gathered end hammocks do. The major concern I have is the stress on the zipper once inside of the SkyLite. Unlike the JungleNest it looks like it will be an issue in the long run and makes me not want to take it out as much. And YES I am well below the recommended 250 lb weight limit for this hammock. Seeing as how the bug net is attached, and the zipper will become more stressed over time; I fear it will eventually make the bug net unreliable once the zipper gives way. You do have the option of using the SkyLite with carabiners and daisy chains. However, I suggest investing in the ENO Helios XL straps for a confident and lightweight hang on the trail. They absolutely make setup and take down a breeze. I refused to pay full price and purchased them on sale. They were well worth it at that discount. The only reason I am keeping this hammock is because they are being discontinued and it was half price. If I had paid the full $169.95; it would have been returned just based off the stress on the zipper alone. Otherwise; I do believe it will be a great companion on my next adventure and would recommend it for anyone under 180 lbs, who is traditionally a side sleeper and who doesn’t generally find much comfort in traditional hammocks.

The first time I set it up I got in and it flipped me over. It tore the netting which makes the hammock less useful. My son got in it and also fell out. The JungleNest is far superior in my opinion.

It has met my expectations and then some. It is the most comfortable I have sleep in the woods ever.

The zipper is to lite needs heavier one mabe a ykk .and started to tear on the front corner and bug screen is really close

My whole life I've been an avid camper. You name it, I've slept on it. Cots, air mattresses, hammocks, paddle boards, dirt...And hammocks win hands down in any situation. Being a side sleeper, I find that bridge hammocks work best for me. -Those are the types of hammocks with bars across the head and feet keeping it spread open so you're not sleeping in an envelope. They also take a little less skill to hang on and in. I own several brands of hammocks from boutique custom-made to mass-produced, like ENO. For the sake of this review, I'll stick to the type of hammock and leave aside the wonderful benefits of supporting cottage manufacturers. The two bridge hammocks I use most are the Warbonnet Ridgerunner and the ENO SkyLite. *ENO-specific points for consideration* Cost: About $169, but often on sale • The spreader bars are the same side at the head and foot, making it easier to set up. • Definitely spring for the Helios XL suspension straps as they're made to work best with this hammock. • Like the ENO SkyLoft, the SkyLight has higher sides at the mid-section, making for a more confident hang. • It definitely doesn't feel tippy. • Easy all-in-one hammock that requires minimal fuss, so you're more likely to get out more often and enjoy hammock camping. • There is no ridgeline, so you're left with the tension and added loops inside the bug mesh if you need to hang a small light or even a fan. You could add a ridgeline, but you won't have access inside the zipped up mesh. • Unless you're going to manage the impossible perfectly even hang, you will curse yourself for trying to add a sleeping pad. It'll end up bunched up at your feet about 10 minutes in. #$%&!!! • There is no ability to slip a pad into the underside or pocket area for additional insulation. • If you're trying to do some cool weather hammock camping in the SkyLight, you'll have to have an underquilt. No biggie, just a consideration. • The attached bug mesh doesn't leave much in the way of clearance over your head and torso. *Warbonnet Ridgerunner points for consideration* Cost: About $130 and somewhat customizable. • Probably my favorite feature of the Ridgerunner is the ability to slip a pad in a pocket on the underside of the hammock, meaning you can get that extra insulation when the night gets cold. You could even double it up with an underquilt to keep things extra cozy. • All Warbonnet hammocks are known for being exceptionally well-made. • The attached bug mesh gives much more clearance over your head and torso, which helps if you don't like feeling closed in. • The Ridgerunner has 2 different sized spreader bars, so you need to know which end you're working with while hanging. Somehow even with only 2 options, it will take you 3 times to hang it right. • Adding a ridgeline is no big deal, but same as with the SkyLight. • The Ridgerunner walls are a bit low in the mid-section. I always feel a bit tippy in it, but have yet to actually fall. *PROS of the Warbonnet Ridgerunner and ENO SkyLight* • Ability to lay flat or on your side without an obstructed view. • Hammock camping will quickly become your favorite way to sleep outdoors. No more ground for you, darlin'. • Very easy on the hips and back. • Includes an attached bug net. • Ability to flip the hammock over and use without the net, if desired. • Both are lightweight and are backpacking-friendly. • Both may be used as a bivy tent with the addition of trekking poles and a sleeping pad when trees aren't available. • Both require an additional rainfly for inclimate weather. • Both have pockets at the sides for phone, keys, etc. • On hot nights, if you're lucky you can hang over a running stream or lake. You'll never sleep cooler outside. It is the BEST. You won't have a bad time in the ENO and they have some fun add-on accessories. And if you're like me, it won't be the last hammock you buy. Heck, you may even end up with the SkyLight, the SkyLoft, *and* the Ridgerunner. (Looks at the bin labeled "hammocks" --plural-- in the corner.)

Ich habe die Anleitung erst nicht gesehen. Diese ist im packsack. Vernäht. Ich habe gut geschlafen und hatte platz. So dass meine schultern nicht verspannt sind. Sie ist sehr wackelig beim einstieg. Ich habe eine schur auf der gegenseite gespannt. Ist die hängematte stark unterspannung, dreht sie sich schneller und der reisverschlusst klemmt. Baumgurte aind nicht im lieferumfang enthalten. Dies ist aber anhand der bilder ersichtlich. Und nicht schlimm.

Fehlkonstruktion des Zippers...unter Last kaum schließbar
