ultralight hammock weighing in at just over 13 ounces with the included quick suspension system it's well worth looking into the fabric of the hammock is a 40 denier nylon ripstop which is ultra light but still boasts the ability to have a carrying capacity of 300 pounds on each end of the hammock is a triple stitched gathered end ultralight high-grade aluminum carabiners run through the gathered ends on each ends of the hammock this helps eliminate extra material these are also especially light when compared to a standard steel carabiner the hammock compacts down to six by four inches even with the adjustable suspension system inside of the carry bag with it when you unravel it it's gonna be 9 feet long by 4 feet wide which means that it remains comfortable while eliminating extra materials the suspension system is truly ultralight and ultra just about the Whoopie sling is made up of 760 fourth inch Dyneema Dyneema is known for making some of the lightest strongest materials in the world and that's why this remains the lightest most adjustable suspension for hammock one-inch thick tree straps measure in at 6 feet long and have double loops on each end this makes it so you can wrap around those really large trees double wrap smaller trees or sometimes have extra tree strapping for those extra long hangs the material is made up of a polyester but is woven into a seatbelt fabric so it's extremely strong and durable the hammock itself weighs in at 9 ounces with the carabiners inside the suspension system is just over 4 ounces so combined you're just over 3 ounces it's important to remember that when you buy anything throughout our vitals you're getting our limited lifetime warranty as well as helping others through a 1 percent revenue giveback program at the weight size and carry capacity of this ultralight hammock we think that everybody should have it in their pack today were gonna do a deep dive on the outer vitals soup Ollie Hicks tarp which can be used both on the ground or above the hammock let's start by talking about the material on the hammock itself it's a polyester rip stop now the reason you did polyester is polyester actually doesn't stretch like nylon does so having polyester will allow it to stay a little bit more taut throughout the night when we impregnated the fabric with silicone which is an extremely lightweight to waterproof fabrics if we added a very light layer of PU coating on the underside to prevent any misting and heavy rainfall to prevent anything from becoming loose or flapping in the wind we did catenary cuts on all the edges and that helps to keep everything nice and tight the guy out ropes on the tarp are reflective and adjustable which means setup and adjusting a breeze holes in the corner of the tarp allow for an easier more stable connection to your trekking poles or branches you find along the way the dimensions on this tarp win folded are seven and a half by four inches and when it's unfolded it's 11 feet long and six and a half feet wide now eleven feet long is a little bit more wide than a standard tarp is but for my experience back in the backcountry it's nice to have a little bit of extra room on that end especially when you're using it on a hammock the tarp itself is gonna come with six different 7000 series aluminum stakes which are extremely strong and ultralight the tarp with the stakes included weighs in at just a little bit over 16 ounces if you are planning on using it with a hammock you can drop to the stakes out and lose about a half an ounce or if you are to weigh the tarp without any of the stakes in it you're gonna come in at about two ounces lighter or just a little bit over 14 ounces if you're looking for a true ultralight shelter the opéra vital Scylla poly hex tarp might just be the thing if you add the fabrics and design with our limited lifetime warranty and our one percent back to others program it's a hard package to be this is an introduction to the
