I own the 4th gen hammock and have used it on a few backpacking trips in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I haven’t used my tent since I got it, it’s easy to setup and the ventilation prevents any condensation issues.

I’ve had the latest (4th) version for a while now and it’s outstanding! Super fast setup hanging or as a bivy. The new pole setup is the best yet. My tent never leaves the house anymore, I only use my Alpine Hammock. Absolutely recommend this to my friends who want lightweight weather (and bug) protection.

Purchased a hammock earlier this year in order to use for a trip down the Wisconsin/Mississippi River, as well as some future hiking trips. The Alpine Hammock outperformed what I was looking for! It is extremely light and easy to set-up. While other people had to sleep in poison ivy on the hard sand, I got to sleep far above the ground nestled in my cosy, warm hammock! Very quality construction, only con would be seam sealing-it took me 2 tubes to cover everything (then again, I’m not the best at sealing so….) ! Would buy/recommend!

I recently received my redesigned Alpine Hammock and I’m loving it. Having previously owned both the First Edition and a prototype I’ve seen the progress with each revision and they have continued to march toward perfection. In simple terms, the Alpine Hammock is the best solo shelter you can buy. It gives you all the comfort and of a hammock, but in a smaller, lighter package than a comparable setup from Kammock or Eno (once you factor in the bug net and rain fly). And if that wasn’t enough, it can also be used as a bivy when the terrain demands it. No matter what you encounter, the Alpine Hammock has you covered.

Get out, explore, have an adventure, and rest easy in an Alpine Hammock.

Five Stars! Ok, so I’m better in the woods than I am with the electronic gadgets. I would give the hammock 5 stars, but I haven’t been able to change it.

Just returned from the Ka’u forest on the big island of Hawai’i. Lots of a’a lava under the canopy, so hammock mode was my only option. Encountered 50-60 mph gust and driving tropical rain. The hammock was light to pack in, quick and easy to set up, wind and waterproof, comfortable, and the various ventilation options worked well. Condensation wasn’t a problem at all. The insect screen proved very useful as well. The interior mesh pocket made finding a head lamp or phone easy in the dark. A quality piece of equipment that I expect to get a years of service from. The Alpine Hammock is a quality piece of equipment which I expect to serve its purpose well for years to come, from a quality company who provided quality service and communication. Mike and Ryan have earned my respect and support. Aloha

Sanford NC with a small, veteran owned manufacturer. It’s close proximity allows us to keep a tight eye on quality and more speedy product development.

Hi, I was wondering where you manufacture your product?

First used the Alpine Hammock in bivy mode in an open area. 15 F with wild wind and swirling snow. I was a little concerned that snow would get in the vents, but problem whatsoever. If left somewhat open for some ventilation, my old bivy would has let snow blow in. Face it, at these temps, some condensation is unavoidable , unless you can hold your breath all night. this unit had much less condensation compared with my other bivys. Definitely recommend to a friend

I took this on a trip to the Bahamas. The no-see-um proof bug netting stopped all of the little nasties. The alpine hammock was great for sleeping up in the trees and bivvying on the beach. Huge advantage over other camping hammocks that I’ve used is that you enter from the top, meaning you don’t need to set it up at ground level. Sleeping UP in the trees was awesome.

And it wasn’t even meant for the tropics, this thing is all terrain.
