Zouway camping hammock review

The second-longest hammock in this hub at a stated 280 cm (110.2 in), the only one supplied with both straps and carabiners, and giving one 600 g (21.2 oz) figure without saying what it covers.

What this listing puts on record

A dark green gathered-end hammock in 210T parachute nylon, stated at 280 × 140 cm (110.2 × 55.1 in), triple-stitched, with a stated 200 kg (440.9 lb) load, a stated 600 g (21.2 oz) weight, a stuff sack sewn to the body, two tree straps of 2.5 m (8 ft) each with 5 + 1 loops, and two steel carabiners.

Length is the figure

At a stated 280 cm (110.2 in), this is the second-longest body in the hub, behind one stated at 290 cm (114.2 in). That matters more than anything else here, because a gathered-end hammock is lain in across the diagonal and the fabric beyond your own height is what makes that possible. 140 cm (55.1 in) of width then decides how far across that diagonal you can move.

The suspension, published

Two straps at 2.5 m (8 ft) each, with 5 + 1 loops, and two steel carabiners. Publishing the strap length is not universal in this hub, and it is what tells you how far apart your anchors can be.

The weight problem

600 g, once, unlabelled. The hub compares complete-kit weights, and this set contains two straps and two steel carabiners that are not obviously inside that number.

What is absent

No ridgeline, so the sag angle is set by eye each time rather than repeated. No bug net. And no packed size for a stuff sack that is sewn on and cannot be swapped.

Availability

The American Amazon store returned nothing, so the buy link opens a local search rather than a page that is not there.

What it does well, and where it gives way

Strengths

  • A stated 280 cm (110.2 in) of length is second only to the 290 cm (114.2 in) here, and length is what makes a flat diagonal lie available at all
  • The suspension is published with a figure — two straps of 2.5 m (8 ft) each, with 5 + 1 loops and steel carabiners
  • The stuff sack is sewn on rather than separate, which is stated and is one fewer thing to lose

Compromises

  • One 600 g (21.2 oz) figure with no label, on a set that includes straps and two steel carabiners
  • No packed size, so the sewn-on sack cannot be sized against a pack pocket
  • No ridgeline and no bug net, so the sag angle is guesswork and insects are unaddressed

What people ask before buying

Why does 280 cm (110.2 in) matter more than the load figure?

A gathered-end hammock is slept in diagonally, and the hub intro puts the requirement plainly: a body needs roughly two feet of fabric beyond its own height before that flat lie exists. Length is the figure that decides comfort. The load figure is a maker’s claim about the material.

Does the 600 g (21.2 oz) include the straps?

The listing does not say. It gives one number and describes the straps and carabiners in a different bullet. Since the hub compares the packed weight of the complete kit, that unlabelled figure is the gap.

Does Zouway publish a packed size?

No. Not published on the listing — the stuff sack is stated to be sewn to the hammock rather than separate. What the listing does publish instead is the stated load: 200 kg (440.9 lb) — stated by the maker; a figure for the hammock and its webbing, which says nothing about the tree or the anchor.

Our score

7.2/ 10

Length, width, straps and carabiners all published — and a single weight figure that never says whether the heavy half is inside it.

The buyer this one serves, among camping gear

A taller sleeper who wants a long gathered-end body with the straps and the carabiners already in the bag.
