The Closest Thing to an ENO for under $30

Great Budget Hammocks Part 5


I have been amazed at the response that I have received when I started reviewing hammocks less than a month ago.  I still have about three more hammocks to review yet, then I will create a video and blog comparing all of the hammocks.  Today I am excited to review a hammock that is probably the most comparable to the famous ENO Hammocks.


The ENO Alternative


Let me introduce to you the Trail Quest Hammock from Tradewind Products.  I consider this hammock the ultimate ENO alternative.  The quality is great on this hammock, as it appears to be quadruple stitched instead of just triple stitched (even though it is listed as triple stitched).  If you look carefully at the picture below you can count 4 stitches, 3 large stitches and 1 small stitch at the bottom.  This hammock also comes with a lifetime warranty, which proves that Tradewind Products believes in this hammock.  The Hammock comes with a compression strap sewed onto the bag to make it easier to get a small footprint with this hammock. Did I mention that the Trail Quest features all of this for under $30 on Amazon?


 Specifications


The Trail Quest Hammock is listed as being able to hold 450lbs, and I will just take their word on that one.  It is also listed as a double hammock, and it is definitely wide enough to be a double hammock.  It is shaped very similar to an ENO which tends to be a little shorter and wider than other double hammocks.  The hammock only comes in the one Black/Red color, but that combination looks really nice.  One thing to note is that this hammock does not come with hammock straps, so you will need to think about that when you order the hammock.  As with all of these smaller hammock companies, I am very impressed with the customer service of the Tradewinds Products company.  They are very nice to deal with.
