My kiddo was on the hunt for a hammock a few years ago. While we don’t backpack, I wanted to make sure we got a quality hammock for her that she could use for years to come.

A few things we were looking for were length bc she was already taller than many kids her age. The next was bug protection. Once we added those two things together, the lay flat option began to stand out.

While more expensive, we are so happy we bought this hammock that we’ve recently purchased two more. And now we’re starting to add on puff legs and other gear to support a real flexible experience for at home or in the wilderness.

Cannot recommend this anymore than a 5 of 5! Our hammock have outlasted other neighbors hammocks multiple times over. Well worth the price! Even better if you can find it on sale!

Another great nights' sleep in my Ninox hammock. Underquilt, Puffle and rainfly complete the system. Shown here on the Chattooga river in north Georgia. Persistent rain overnight but all dry here! The latest purchase was the Puffle which made the biggest difference in comfort versus a way-to-tight sleeping bag.

This is an absolutely wonderful hammock. I am able to hang my fan and little gear sling off the adjustable ridgeline and not feel cramped. This hammock hangs low which isn’t a problem for me cuz I’m tall enough 6’2” to fix my straps high enough without any problems. I love how much more room I have compared to other 11’ hammocks I feel this was very worth the money. I only wish they had the rain fly available or a time line when they would restock them.

As a lifelong camper, I have always enjoyed everything about living outside…except the sleep. I’ve tried every conceivable way to achieve a comfortable sleep, but ‘adequate’ is as good as I’ve been able to get. 5 years ago, I received a Ninox Flat-lay as a gift, and knew the second I got into it that the game had changed. I quickly worked to trick out my rig, and now have the entire ensemble needed for comfortable outdoor living. My standard set-up is the Ninox and rain fly, Puffle, and Stratos shelter (I know it’s not designed for the Ninox but I was able to easily retrofit it myself), and I will typically get about 10-14 nights/yr in it. It has been through torrential storms without a drop of water getting in, and the rain fly allows for air to move freely through the unit as well as maintaining views outside…something not found in the tent world. I love every second. There is definitely a learning curve, but once you get it figured out, it will be by far the best sleep you’ve had camping. At 50 years of age, getting up without being sore is something I can’t even get in my bed at home, but I spring out of the Ninox in the morning feeling refreshed from a deep sleep, and bounce around like a teenager with no soreness at all. I’m considering getting one for in the house as well.
