Questions & Answers
Mine are a tad heavier than Ralt's claims, weighing in at 12 oz for everything and 11 oz for the meat. Without the stuff sack, this item weighs 6 ounces. Photos can be found in my review.
No, to hang another hammock, you'd need a second set of straps. Two straps are included in this set, one for each hammock end.
Hooks do the job perfectly.
The same warning can be found on eno hammocks and straps. Without a doubt, lawsuits offer legal protection.
Selected User Reviews For Rallt Hammock Tree Straps - 2000+ LB Breaking Strength, 20 Feet Long, 36 Loops, 100% No Stretch Polyester Adjustable Suspension Kit with 12 kN Carabiners
I recently purchased two sets of hammock straps, the most recent of which is this set. Let's start with the most important point: the price is fantastic, which is what drew me to purchase them in the first place. I've spent far too much time on Amazon comparing hammock suspension straps and attempting to find the best price. The price is worth the risk, so I chose these. The straps aren't quite as wide as I expected, but that's not a problem for me. When I compared them to the other set I have, I was unsure about the loop design or stitching, but these straps have more rows of stitching per loop, which is a plus. They were able to handle a day of multiple children playing in the hammocks and a lot of swinging without any issues. These are a good value and I would recommend them if you can't afford the big name brands. (And, unlike other hammock strap reviews I've seen, I didn't get these for free in exchange for a review. ).
I purchased these Rallt hammock straps a few years ago and absolutely adore them. The length and compactness were both appealing to me. The reflective stitching was particularly appealing to me when camping. I was so taken with them that I purchased two more pairs to give as gifts. Until yesterday, that is. br>br>While my wife and I were in our double ENO hammock yesterday, BOTH straps gave way. We've shared my hammock on numerous occasions without incident. This time, however, it's a bang! FAIL! Hit the ground with a vengeance! Our combined weight is around 420 pounds. The weight is well below 500 pounds. The straps have a load limit. So I'm really disappointed that these didn't work out, especially since we had previously shared a hammock. br>br>For failing to meet the weight limit, I must give a one-star rating. I would have given these five stars if it weren't for the fact that they were so bad.
br>br>I'll compare these to three other methods of hammock hanging. br>br>[Rallt vs 550 Cord]: This is how I attempted to hang my hammock for the first time. For a few years, I used 550 cord, but one time while camping in the winter, I discovered that in the cold and dark, you don't want to be fiddling with 550 cord, so I promised myself that I would get straps. br>br>Rallt straps are easier to set up than 550 cord, and the reflective threads run the length of the strap, making it easier to find your hammock at night. White and red light are reflected, as well as light from a campfire. br>br>[Rallt vs. the Most Affordable Nylon Straps]: I bought the $5 straps because I was on a budget. They are terrible. They don't have enough length. They are incredibly elongated. They were equipped with heavy metal hardware, which made them bulkier and heavier. Don't squander your money on the cheapest straps; instead, spend a little more. br>br>[Rallt vs. a Competitor's Brand]: I'll use ENO straps from a friend in this example. The ENO straps had hook up loops every 12 in (300 MM), while the Rallt had hook up loops every 3 in (76 MM). He had fewer options for hooking up, and his hammock wasn't in the middle of the trees. With more hook-up options, I was able to better adjust my hammock and place it in the middle of the trees. br>br>The Rallt straps were about 2 feet, or 609 millimeters, longer than the ENO straps. br>br>Because we are both big guys (roughly 6'2" and 270 lbs), the ENO straps stretched and my friend had to re-adjust in the middle of the night. I didn't have to re-invent the wheel with the Rallt. They didn't move all night; they stayed in the same spot. br>br>The only criticism I have of these straps is that if you're on a stealth mission and need to keep a low profile at night, the reflective threads running the length of the straps will reveal your location because they're visible even in low light. However, if you're in this situation, sleeping in a hammock is probably not a good idea, as you'd be extremely vulnerable.
Using 1/2 inch rope and a camel hitch, I was able to hang my hammock on a slick vertical steel pole. I'm familiar with a couple of techniques for securing hammocks to trees, beams, and poles with ropes. I had heard so much about straps that I decided to order this item to see what I was missing. It arrived today, and I took it to a nearby park to put it to the test. I had my hammock up in under two minutes, with no need to double-check my knots or be concerned about its stability. I was able to quickly adjust the angle in order to achieve the ideal hang. Get these now if you plan on hanging your hammock in the trees! Also, I'm not a left-wing, anti-shower, anti-deodorant hippie. But, dippie, these types of straps are far more friendly to our tree friends.
It is very adaptable. Durable. It is a good deal. These are great because they have loops all the way up and down the strap, allowing you to adjust the length to almost any desired length! It's not going anywhere- D-Link D-Link D-Link D-Link D-Link D-Link D-Link D-Link D Carabiners and clips It's worthwhile to have these because you never know how far the trees will be apart when you're camping, so having an extra 20 feet comes in handy! These are extremely sturdy and I'm confident that they will last a long time; they even stand up to the rough bark of my grand old oak trees to hold my hammock up in my yard without fraying, and they're plenty strong enough for a two-person hammock. It was perfectly capable of supporting all of our weight. These straps made us feel very safe and secure. The money was well spent.
