We at the Exploration Wild often test and select hammocks that are designed for comfort, adventure, and longevity. Here are some of the useful tips and recommendations from the professionals that you may consider while choosing the Hammock.
1. Where will you use it, ask yourself?
If you are using it for Backpacking or camping, consider a lightweight, small hammock, such as our camping hammocks that are portable and easy to set up.
Likewise, if you are using it in Patio or backyard, consider a double, cozy and spacious hammock that prioritizes leisure above portability. And, if you are using it for a day picnic at the park. Consider hammocks with designs that are easy to transport and materials that dry quickly.
2. Hammocks: Single or Double
Double hammocks offer extra comfort and space. They are great for couples or anyone who likes more room to relax.
Single hammocks are made for one person. They are usually lighter, making them great for minimalist campers or solo travelers.
