Eagles Nest Outfitters (ENO) SingleNest Hammock Review

Given the Eagles Nest Outfitters SingleNest Hammock‘s versatility, durability, lightweight, and user-friendly design you’ll always be looking for an opportunity to hang it up.

It’s a ideal choice for anyone who plans to use a hammock for anything from hiking and camping to traveling or just hitting the beach.

Our Rating

Comfort

The Eagles Nest Outfitters SingleNest Hammock is one of the smaller single hammocks on the market, which may make it less suitable if you are taller/larger or just need extra space while you sleep. That said, comfort us rather subjective and if you are a smaller camper you may find it a perfect fit and sleep very well.

We also found that it’s not the most comfortable parachute nylon hammock out there, which is why we would recommend trying out another hammock if you are in search of ultimate comfort. If you are looking for a single hammock, consider the Grand Trunk Single which is the same weight but offers a whole extra foot in length.

If you plan to mostly use your hammock for daytime hangouts and kicking back for just a few hours than the SingleNest is a great option and you likely won’t notice the smaller size. The hammock performed well for these types of use.

If you plan on using the hammock in colder temperatures you’ll want to gear up with a hammock under quilt to stay warm and comfortable.

Although the the hammock offers a great combination overall of durability, weight, and comfort, do keep in mind that it tends to sleep smaller than other hammocks.

Weight & Size

The ENO SingleNest Hammock is ultra-packable and compresses down to the size of a softball when packed in it’s compression stuff sack. This is a huge plus for anyone looking for one of the most backpack friendly hammock options.

At just 17 oz the hammock is certainly in the category of lightweight hammocks and with it’s combination of small size makes it ideal for space conscious campers. However, note that it’s not the lightest hammock out there and does not include the suspension system or other gear upgrades, such as a hammock bug net or rain fly, that you’ll likely need before spending nights sleeping outdoors.

The hammock does come with ENO Aluminum Wiregate Carabiners and nautical grade line that comes in handy to secure the SingleNest to trees or other objects.

Durability

Built from 70D high tenacity breathable nylon taffeta and triple interlocking stitching the ENO SingleNest Hammock is built to last. There were no standout durability issues and there’s not doubt the hammock can handle years of use and hold up even in the most harsh conditions.

Although the hammock is a designed as a single it is built to hold a maximum weight of 400 lbs. Two smaller and lighter user could easily use the hammock for sitting and lounging around without reaching the maximum designed capacity.

Eagle Nest Outfitters is one of the most trusted hammock manufactures out there and is know to stand behind their products. The hammock comes with a 2-year manufactures warranty if any durability issues were to arise from use.

Versatility

The ENO SingleNest does not come with a hammock straps, so we paired it with Eagles Nest Outfitters Atlas Hammock Suspension System and found the setup to be a great choice.

Although you can mix-and-match almost all hammocks and suspension systems we still feel that sometimes it’s a good idea to pair them from the same manufacture. This way you know they are designed with ultimate product comparability in mind.

The smaller size of the ENO SingleNest Hammock shines when you have to setup your hammock in constricted spaces. You’ll find it much easier to hang the hammock in tight locations vs. a larger our double sized hammocks.

Value

The ENO SingleNest is among the lowest priced hammocks on the market and an overall great value for anyone looking for a solid lighweight and packable hammock.

You’ll get the hammock and two of ENO ultralight carabiners, but remember that the hammock is sold without a suspension system so you will have to invest in this before you can use it. Expect to pay $30 for a high quality suspension system such as ENO Atlas Hammock Suspension System.

The Bottom Line

The Eagles Nest Outfitters SingleNest Hammock is not the most comfortable hammock we tested and will fit a bit smaller than other single models. Given its weight and that it can be packed down to a super small size in it’s stuff sack it does make for a great option for throwing in your backpack and using it for lounging around.
