ENO DoubleNest Hammock Review (2026)

ENO DoubleNest uses 70D ripstop nylon with triple-interlocking stitching at 19 oz total weight. It accommodates two people (400-lb capacity) in a double hammock that packs smaller than a lunchbox. With Atlas Straps (sold separately), it's set up in 5 minutes and leaves no tree damage.

Grant's score
The short version

ENO DoubleNest is the most widely used camping hammock. We researched setup time, comfort for two adults, and capacity limits.

Who it's for

Buy this if: Campers who want a hammock for lounging, napping, or sleeping alongside a tent.

Skip this if: Hammock campers who want to sleep in it exclusively — the standard hammock drape requires a specific hang angle for comfortable all-night sleep.

In the field

Atlas Strap System

ENO Atlas Straps are the required complement — 1-inch wide straps with multiple adjustment loops that set up without knots and cause no tree bark damage. Without wide straps, thin rope creates pressure damage to bark. Most parks and campgrounds require straps over 1-inch width for hammock use.

What we loved
+ 19 oz packs to lunch-box size+ 400-lb capacity for two adults+ Triple stitching at all attachment points
What we'd change
– Straps sold separately — budget for Atlas Straps alongside purchase– Not optimized for full-night sleeping without proper hang angle knowledge

Buy this and buy the Atlas Straps at the same time. It's the correct starter hammock.

Common questions

What tree distance works?
12-16 feet between trees is ideal for standard double hammock hang angle (30-degree angle from horizontal).
Can I sleep in it overnight?
Yes — with a structural ridgeline set to 83% of tree-to-tree distance and proper hang angle. Many thru-hikers sleep exclusively in hammocks.
