Monkey Swing Ultralight hammock, 275 × 140 cm, 300 kg stated review
A hammock that publishes the width of its tree straps and the number of eyelets in them, and gives one 700 g figure without saying whether that hardware is inside it.
The bottom line Straps described down to their width and eyelet count, and a hammock fabric described with no number at all. The gaps here are unusual ones.
What this listing puts on record
A green and khaki gathered-end hammock in tear-resistant parachute silk, stated at 275 × 140 cm with triple seams, a stated 300 kg load, a stated weight of approximately 700 g, a stuff sack, two extra-wide tree straps at 2.5 cm with 11 openings each, and solid steel carabiners.
An unusual pattern of detail
Most listings here describe the hammock and wave at the suspension. This one does the reverse in places: the straps get a width — 2.5 cm — and an eyelet count of 11, while the hammock fabric gets called parachute silk and no number at all.
What is published
275 × 140 cm. A 300 kg stated load, with the maker stating two people can use it. 700 g, once, unlabelled.
What is missing
No denier and no thread count, so the fabric cannot be lined up against the 210T nylons elsewhere in the hub. No strap length, which is the figure that decides whether your trees are in range. No packed size for the supplied stuff sack. No ridgeline and no bug net.
Before ordering
The 700 g figure appears in the same sentence as the stuff sack and a different sentence from the straps and carabiners. Treat it as a bare-hammock number until the maker says otherwise.

What it does well, and where it gives way
Strengths
Publishes strap width at 2.5 cm and an eyelet count of 11, which is more detail than most suspensions carry here
275 × 140 cm of body with a stated 300 kg load, and the maker states two people can use it
Steel carabiners are stated as supplied rather than sold on
Compromises
No denier and no thread count behind the words parachute silk, so the fabric is unquantified
One 700 g figure with no label, on a kit containing two straps and two steel carabiners
No strap length published, so the span between anchors cannot be worked out before it arrives

What people ask before buying
What is parachute silk here?
It is the maker's description of the fabric, and it comes with no denier and no thread count. Elsewhere in this hub the same class of material is quoted as 210T nylon, which is at least a number. Without either, the fabric column has nothing comparable in it.
Why does strap width get published and strap length not?
That is the listing's own choice, and it is an odd one. The 2.5 cm width tells you how the load sits against bark; the missing length is what tells you whether your two trees are close enough. Only one of those can be worked around after the parcel arrives.
Cotton hammock · asymmetric anti-roll cut · 300 kg static load stated, attributed to TÜV · straps and two carabiners included · no dimensions or weight published
A woven cotton hammock with an asymmetric cut and a TÜV-attributed load figure — and not one dimension, weight or packed size anywhere on the page.
Best for: A garden or a camp pitch reached by car, where cotton comfort matters more than a carried weight.
Gathered-end hammock with bug net · 290 × 140 cm stated · 210T parachute nylon · 350 kg stated · packs to 24 × 19 × 10 cm
The joint-longest body in this hub and the highest stated load, sold complete with net, straps, carabiners and spreader pegs — and with no weight published anywhere in the listing.
Best for: Summer nights among trees where the net matters, and where the pack has room for a set that publishes its folded size but not its mass.
Gathered-end hammock · 275 × 140 cm · 210T parachute nylon · 300 kg stated, attributed to TÜV · 580 g including straps and carabiners · 18 × 13 cm packed
The most completely published hammock here: length, width, a load figure with a named testing body, and a 580 g weight the maker states includes the suspension.
Best for: A first hammock bought on published figures, where the complete-kit weight is the number being compared.
