Two-Person Parachute Hammock

Parachute fabric earns its reputation in a hammock. It is light enough to pack down into a bag pocket, strong enough to carry two people, and breathable in a way that heavy canvas never manages on a warm afternoon. At 140 cm wide, there is room to lie diagonally on your own or share it comfortably.

Setup takes minutes. The suspension ropes go around two trees or posts, the fabric spreads out, and that is the whole job. Because it packs so small, it travels without argument: a rucksack for a walk, a car boot for a festival, a camping kit that is already too full. Six colourways run from dark blue and green through to orange.

Check your anchor points before every use and keep the hang low enough that a fall would be a short one. Trees should be living and thick enough to take the load; posts should be set properly rather than pushed into soft ground. Children should use it with an adult nearby. Let the fabric dry fully before packing it away and it will last several seasons. Packed down it weighs little enough to carry all day without noticing, which is the real argument for parachute fabric over canvas on a long walk or a multi-day trip.
