Product Description

hennessy hammock

Hennessy Hammock Expedition Series

The Expedition is the hammock that started the hammock camping revolution and is still the favourite all-purpose Hennessy Hammock—great for backpacking, family camping, expeditions, kayaking, motorcycling, and any other purposes which require comfort and durability.

The Classic model has an ingenious entrance through the bottom that snaps closed automatically under the weight of your body and seals with velcro. Mosquitos can’t figure out how you disappeared standing outside your hammock and magically re-appeared lying comfortably inside.

The Zip model has a side entrance with a full length heavy duty YKK zipper and two double sliders. The mesh can be held open with an elastic so you can watch the stars on clear, bug free nights.

The Jungle Expedition Zip has a double layer bottom with 40d nylon for 100% mosquito protection and to hold the Heat-Reflecting DoubleBubble Pad between the layers and on the correct diagonal. One of the nicest things about the Jungle models is climbing into your hammock with your sleeping bag and not having to think about keeping an insulation pad from moving around under you during the night.

The double bottom jungle models are designed for temperatures down to 40*F / 4*C. when used with the accessory Heat-Reflecting DoubleBubble Pad.

hammock features

A Complete Shelter System

The Hennessy Hammock is a legendary piece of camping and survival equipment and has been the choice of epic expeditions exploring the full length of the Nile, Amazon and Congo Rivers, up to the Arctic, down into the deepest caves on Earth, and other extreme environments around the world. Every Hennessy is a complete, engineered shelter system. Built tough for years of service, every hammock is uncompromising in materials and workmanship.

All Hennessys include webbing straps, tightly woven fabrics and high quality support ropes, a matching detachable rainfly, a "no see um" mosquito mesh, a gear loft on the ridge line and a stuff sack with set up instructions on the back. Built tough for years of service, all of our support ropes and webbing straps are six times stronger than the weight rating of the hammock.

We believe it is essential to include complementary webbing straps with each hammock to prevent damage to the tender bark of small trees. The Hennessy Hammock has almost zero impact and is an excellent example of a “Leave No Trace” shelter.

asymmetrical
Asymmetrical Design

Experience a level of comfort on the trail almost as good as your bed at home and maybe even better. The patented asymmetrically shaped hammock supports your back and knees like a quality contoured mattress off the ground.

Amazingly Comfortable

Tall or large campers and campers with injuries, sore joints, bone spurs or back pain tell us about finding their first night of comfortable camping in many years with the larger Explorer Deluxe or Safari Deluxe models. You will wake up in the morning feeling great. Some owners of Hennessy Hammocks claim that they come home from their adventure feeling better than when they left. Some report that they tossed out their beds when they got home from a hike and set up their hammock in the house.

  • It's a shelter that takes the pain out of the outdoors and protects the environment.
  • Extend your seasonal use by adding accessory insulation systems.
  • Countless tiny improvements over 40 years of effort and design.

Unique Bottom Entry

Patented entrance on the bottom automatically snaps closed under the weight of your body and seals with velcro.

The "Classic" bottom entry works great when you are being followed by a cloud of mosquitoes. When you duck your head down to open the bottom entrance, the mosquitoes don't know what you're doing, so they get out of the way for a few seconds. Before they know what's happened, the door has snapped shut and you are on the inside and they are on the outside.

Side Zipper Entry

Zips closed with a full length, heavy duty #10 YKK zipper on one side between the mesh and the bottom fabric.

One advantage of the zip model is that it's a little easier to set up your bedding but the mosquitoes also find it easier follow you in and join you for a snack later, so double check for intruders before you zip up for the night.

Evolved Hammocks

Hennessy Hammock is a small family run company whose only mission is to continually improve the evolution of hammock design.

The inventor, Tom Hennessy, has been sleeping in hammocks for over 60 years and experimenting with designs for over 40 years. He made over 50 prototypes and beta-tested his designs for six years before getting patents and going into production.

(EU pat.1463426-16, US patents US20090165205A1, US6865757B2)

Thoughtful Details

Triangular Mesh Gear Pocket, Glove Hooks, Carabiner Loops, and included Webbing Straps.

A nifty gear pocket slides on the ridgeline and stores out of sight behind your head. Two glove hooks are also threaded on the ridgeline and can be used for attaching LED lights and even attaching a drink can by the hole in the pull tab. All hammocks ridge lines are installed with a loop on each inside hammock end to which a small carabiner can be hooked to hold daypacks, water bottles, and other small items which are too heavy to hang over the ridge line.

New to hammock camping; Lessons learned for a product well made but too small for a 6' man.

New to hammock camping; Lessons learned for a product well made but too small for a 6' man.
I am 6' 200# and this is too small for me when in a sleeping bag. I also found that finding trees the best distance is 14'+/-2'. The tree hugger straps work well, but seem to be a bit small. I have to take an extra strap with me to extend it most of the time. The fly is small, but actually kept me dry in a very heavy all night rain (I added drip strings to my main line). I would prefer the zipper model over the bottom entrance. It is hard to take your boots off and on using the bottom entrance model, especially in the middle of the night. Everything is very well made. If I had to buy again, I would buy the larger model and get the large 30D fly. Take the time to watch Hennessy's video on tying the figure eight know with two half hitches. It works great and is easy to untie and literally takes seconds to tie the knot. Don't go camping in this until you have practiced setup and tear down. At the 12' tree to tree distance I learned I had to tie the fly up separate from the hammock to keep it tight. I used a separate piece of rope to tie it. I also learned to keep the line lengths equal on both sides when tying up the hammock to the tree for the best nights sleep. Hammock camping with this model in a group setting provided new challenges - where do I get changed, how do I store my boots and gear while it rains, etc. I recently bought a the SuperFly from Warbonnet to solve these problems. Packing the hammock using the snakeskins back into the back with the fly is possible, but you have to cram it in there.
