Hennessy Hammock Explorer Ultralite Zip XL

The Explorer Ultralite Zip XL is a lightweight, spacious hammock designed for users up to 250 lbs / 114 kg and 7 ft / 213 cm tall. Built with Hennessy’s patented asymmetrical shape and structural ridgeline, it delivers exceptional comfort and a perfect setup every time — no matter the tree spacing.

This model uses high‑performance materials and proportions identical to the Ultralite Backpacker A‑sym, but with more room for taller users or anyone who wants extra interior space. The new side‑entry design features a strong #5 YKK double‑slider zipper, making entry and exit smooth and secure.

If you’re close to 6 ft / 183 cm and want the luxury of additional space without adding weight, the Explorer Ultralite Zip XL is an excellent choice.

Patented Comfort System

Hennessy’s patented asymmetrical design lets you sleep diagonally, giving level support under your back and knees. The structural ridgeline ensures the hammock maintains the same shape every time you set it up — providing a consistent, comfortable sleeping position regardless of tree spacing.

This innovation delivers the first hammock system in history that gives you the exact same comfortable bed every night and a perfect setup every time.
