ENO SingleNest
#4 — Best Solo Starter

ENO SingleNest Review (2026)

16oz, 400 lb capacity, $10 less than DoubleNest -- the right ENO for solo hikers

★★★★★
8.5/10
Reviewed by William • Updated May 2026 $60

The ENO SingleNest is the better choice over the DoubleNest for solo backpackers -- 3oz lighter and $10 cheaper, same 400 lb capacity and ENO build quality. The 4.75ft width is the right size for diagonal solo sleeping. If you always hike alone, the SingleNest is the smarter buy. For extra width or occasional lounging with a partner, get the DoubleNest.

Field Notes

Compared directly to DoubleNest on a Shenandoah trip. For solo diagonal sleeping the SingleNest width is slightly more comfortable -- less sliding toward center. The $10 and 3oz savings are real. For solo hikers: SingleNest is the correct ENO to buy.

Same ENO quality, $10 less, 3oz lighter -- the one to buy if you always sleep solo

Who This Is For

The ENO SingleNest is right for: solo hikers who want ENO quality at lower price and weight, backpackers who always sleep alone, and beginners buying their first quality hammock.
