Hummingbird Hammocks Single+ Review (2026)

Name: Hummingbird Hammocks Single+
Brand: Hummingbird Hammocks
Price: 135.00 USD
Availability: InStock
Rating: 8.8 (1 reviews)

At 5.5oz for the hammock body alone, the Single+ is built for hikers where every gram is a line item — the kind of hiker who already owns a separate bug net and suspension system and just needs the lightest possible fabric between two trees. Hexon fabric, a proprietary lightweight ripstop nylon, holds up surprisingly well against its featherweight sibling fabrics. This is not a beginner's all-in-one kit; it's a component for someone building an already-dialed-in ultralight hammock system.

Common Questions

Does the Single+ come with a bug net?

No — it's sold as a bare hammock body only. Hummingbird and other brands sell separate compatible bug nets, which most buyers of this ultralight hammock already own or purchase alongside it.

Is Hexon fabric durable despite being so light?

Yes, relatively — Hexon is a proprietary ripstop nylon designed specifically to maximize strength-to-weight ratio, performing better than its low weight might suggest, though it still demands more care than heavier 70D fabrics.

Who should buy the Single+ instead of an all-in-one kit?

Experienced hammock campers who already have suspension and bug net components and want to shave weight from just the hammock body itself, rather than first-time buyers wanting a complete kit.
