I absolutely love my Pares Hammock! I incorporates a flat-lay design to keep your back & body flat for the most comfortable lay with no back pain and is soft to the touch for that extra comfort. It is fairly lightweight and compact but is able to hold a whopping 1600 lbs! It has attachment points for other Sierra Madre products such as the Puffle, Inferno, Air Pad XL, etc. or the storage bag itself for a convenient storage pocket. The bag itself is also very well designed with it's two separate storage areas for the hammock and straps and/or ridgeline. It can be attached at one of the ends of the hammock to be out of the way with no worries of losing it or as previously mentioned you can attach it at different points along the hammock for convenient storage. I also highly recommend getting the ridgeline with it to get the optimal angle every time. Hopefully I'll get to use it on my trip to Washington in a few weeks!

I waited eagerly for this hammock. I’m used to the daytime relax and unwind with a book style hammocks. So when this one arrived, I had a few first time surprises. First of all, this thing is longer than I was imagining I needed. About 16ft between trees and and then hang about 5ft up. This allowed the stretch of the hammock material to accommodate my 205llbs. That was the second surprise. I was thinking the material seems awfully thin (actually great for packing weight) but, it holds up! Third, sitting on the side of the pares is easy enough but once laying out, you sink in deep. The sides feel like you are all wrapped up in a human burrito. I imagine it’s going to really help stop evening drafts in the cool of the night. I’ve even combined it with my Stratos bug shield! It’s a perfect set up for Florida adventures!

The Pares Hammock from Sierra Madre Research is a great all-purpose hammock! I got the Pares along with the Nube Shelter System, and some other accessories, on Kickstarter, and I'm more than satisfied with the purchase.

The Pares is very durable, and super comfortable. It's easy to setup, and takes down easily as well, going back into its compact pocket/stuff sack, that cinches down with the attached compression straps. I have the EZ Sling Suspension System, which is also great, and simple to use. When stored away, there's enough room in the Pares pocket for the EZ Slings as well, and I clip the carabiners for the EZ Slings to the outside of the Pares pocket.

When the hammock is in use, the pocket can hold some small items for easy access, and there are D-rings you can use to attach other items to the hammock too. The Nube Shelter System works very well with the Pares Hammock, and when put together, you'll get a super comfortable lounging and sleeping setup, while being well-protected from the elements and annoying insects!

I did a lot of research before going with the products from Sierra Madre Research. I think they make some of the best products on the market, and true to the name, they really have done their research!

First night out, all is well. I'm 6'1 and the 11ft hammock is money! The material is a touch loud, but not anything major. Between my job and hunting I'm in the field about 200 days a year. So far, it's good, feels like it will hold up.

I put eye bolts in my basement floor joists and strung this baby up as soon as I received it in the mail. Nice tie/attachment points for accessories. Soft and easy to get a diagonal lay. Nice stuff sack. Buy one!

I've been using the Pares hammok for the past 3 years now and absolutely love it! Very comfortable and soft. I get a flat lay every time because of how large it is. Doesn't matter what kindof trip I go on the pares comes with.

I recently camped out for four consecutive, rainy days in Northern Florida and my Sierra Madre Nuble and Padres combo kept me comfortable and dry the entire time!

As soon as SM makes more tents available, I will most certainly purchase a secondary another set!

I have tried hammocks in the past but let me just say that the Pares is by far the best I've come across. It's been several years since I've had my last one and I was about to give up on hammocks for good because I just couldn't see spending any more money on something that would fail and/or rip from normal use. But then I came across SMR and the Pares and I sure am glad I did! I don't think I've ever used a hammock that I was able to fall asleep in let alone fall asleep comfortably. I got my package almost a week ago and I'd been dying to test it out. I finally got to set up the Pares for the first time under a row of walnut trees on my property. It was awesome! I even took a little nap. Super comfortable and super simple to set up and take down. I can't wait to take it out in the wild. The talon system is great as well and I would definitely recommend the Pares and the Talon as a pair.

I was given a hammock for my birthday and used it for the first time on the trail and have a little bit of luxury time after a long trek. The thing was heavy and maybe would fit Papa smurf( I’m 6’) and being a landscape photographer, I felt the weight real quick. For once FB was listening to me and Sierra madre ad came across my feed. After hrs of research I chose their Parez hammock with the talon straps. I fell in love with it. I am all about a work smarter not harder mentality. The feel was smooth to the skin and size was perfect for me lay anyway I wanted to. I love the fact that it is light weight and packs nicely with the rest of my gear.

Lastly, their customer service team was great to work with. They answered all of my questions and I had a lot. In the end I keep this on me where ever I go and just recently invested in their stratos system.

So, I decided I should get a Pares for those more lounging type of days on day-hikes and to keep in the car. I am so glad I did! Now, I absolutely love my Solo and Ninox, but each has a purpose and neither of them seemed to scratch that itch of a full sized hammock without a bug net. The Ninox is awesome for sleeping, but sometimes you want to be able to sit up a bit more to see what's around you and this one surely does that. Plus, there's no zipper digging into the backs of my legs when hanging with Virru Ka Sault the wonder dog. Once, again, SMR delivers!

I totally enjoyed bringing my Pares hammock and my home made tensahedron hammock stand to a resort cabin in Northern Minnesota the past week.. The 11 foot Pares Camping hammock fit well on the portable stand. I can say enough about the comfortable flat lay I get with the new Pares Camping Hammock. There was one experience a had on the hammock that I would like to compare it with TM meditation. While consciously awake and relaxed in the hammock a had a rest full wakefulness experience of not being aware of my body position in relation to my hands and arms to my central body. It is a deep relaxation that is hard to describe. Love the Pares hammock.

Brave the Unknown

This is how my journey begin with Pares hammock from Sierra Madre Research. I am searching every information would help me to made my final decision but none of them are giving the best perspective.

Then the big steps must be made they call it as Brave the Unknown. I was curious about everything they claim should I, or do I?

Yes, I bought it even do I try my best to get a bit bargain from them (free ridgeline) but instead getting free suspension, wow! Thank you so much. I love talon suspension (I hear a lot of perspective how its work, most of them are personal opinion) for me its work fine non the less, why? It's because learning process for everybody is not the same way either we like or dislike etc.

Fabric body hammock another level I never hear before, but truly what can I say it firm on your touch, very light and thin but not too thin. Yes, the fabric is strong and not too stretchy (I hear they were complaining about it, how deep the sag goes when laying in the hammock and is always be hot topic to debate among hammock world, for me everything is about personal referent from experience) my point of view if you like rough feel or some stiffness this is not what you looking for, Pares is light, soft in touch, believe me Pares have good sound barrier, you won't hear a noisy sound around you it's like a filter!

How its feel? To comfortable and I have a good sleep in it

Stitching is excellent, clean and neat

That its Brave the Unknown I proud to have Pares. Love from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

Great product. The Pares hammock is is awesome,smooth and quiet when you move around in it. It is well made love the way my inferno underquilt attaches. Work on my 2nd set up for my daughter.

I totally like the hammock shelters design and the Pares hammock I bought.
Tried it in the gut of the wilderness and absolutely enjoyed it, can’t wait to go winter camping in it.
It’s awesome!

Very comfortable and so very simple to set up.

The Pares is my first big hammock ( bigger than 9’5”). I have my Pares set up in my garage at the moment. I sit in it while I let my dog out and most of the time I wake up hrs later. Def excited to have switched to air camping since I struggle sleeping in a tent. Lastly the doggo and I can fit and not feel squished!
