Camping hammocks

COVACURE hammock with bug net, 290 × 140 cm, 350 kg stated vs UPhitnis hammock with mosquito net, 290 × 140 cm

Same body, same net — which listing contradicts itself and which one just stays quiet?

By

These two are the same size to the centimetre: 290 × 140 cm, gathered ends, an integrated mosquito net, 210T nylon on both. What separates them is what each one is willing to say. The COVACURE publishes the higher load and a full folded box but no weight whatsoever; the UPhitnis publishes 800 g and then gives two load figures that do not agree with each other.

Each tick belongs to its own line and nothing more. The row of ticks is not a score: the two verdicts underneath settle the page, because these two answer different questions on the trail.

Which one, for whom

Buy the COVACURE hammock with bug net, 290 × 140 cm, 350 kg stated

The COVACURE arrives with the most in the box: net, straps with 5 + 1 loops, aluminium carabiners, plus two pegs and two guy cords for pulling the sides out, which is what keeps a net off your face. It publishes the highest load figure in this hub at 350 kg, and not one gramme anywhere, on a piece of kit whose whole point is being carried.

Buy the UPhitnis hammock with mosquito net, 290 × 140 cm

The UPhitnis is the one that tells you what it weighs — 800 g — and the one whose net is described down to the side zip, with the maker stating it cannot be taken off. Against that, its load figure appears twice in two units and the two do not match, and it never says whether carabiners come with the straps.

What people ask before buying

Does an integrated bug net that cannot be removed matter?

It fixes what the hammock is for. A fixed net means carrying the net on every trip, including the cold ones where there are no insects, and it rules out flipping the hammock over to use the plain underside.

What should be made of a listing that gives two different load figures?

Read it as an unresolved figure rather than picking the flattering one. 300 kg and 600 lb are not the same figure, so the title and the description of this listing describe two different hammocks, and neither figure has anything behind it but the maker's own word.
