Description

“A camping hammock with a mosquito net, designed for professionals or high-quality enthusiasts.

The most popular need.for.trees hammock, known for its exceptional size, super comfort, high durability, and light weight. It might be the only camping hammock in Europe with a fully detachable mosquito net. Many other hammocks can only detach the net from one side, leaving it always attached, but the ‘Gilis’ can be used completely without the net, providing versatility in certain situations, such as during the cold season when the net is unnecessary or when you want to save weight and space during a hike.

What makes the ‘Gilis’ hammock superior to other camping hammocks?

1. Length, ensuring comfort

The main aspect I would highlight is the hammock’s length. “Gilis” is 350 cm long, and the longer the hammock, the more comfortable it is. Width also affects comfort, but only up to a certain point, which, based on my experience, is around 150 cm. If it’s any wider, extra fabric forms in the hammock, and when lying sideways, it starts to fall over your face, which doesn’t add to the comfort. According to hammock experts, the most comfortable hammock is your height multiplied by 2. However, there are limits to that. For me, the sweet spot is 350 cm, even though the formula suggests 380 cm.

2. Premium fabric

The hammock is made from high-quality Ripstop Nylon fabric, providing maximum comfort. The fabric is very pleasant on the skin, resembling soft cotton (even though it’s synthetic), and offers one of the best weight ratings for its class. This fabric is designed to support up to 158 kilograms. The hammock is exceptionally long, measuring 350 cm, and weighs only 410 g (600 g with the mosquito net). The dense mesh of the netting ensures not a single insect gets through, guaranteeing a peaceful rest.

I would also like to point out that the fabric is made without PFC (perfluorinated compounds). I’ve noticed that many manufacturers opt for cheaper alternatives and use fabrics containing PFCs. Most camping gear fabrics are treated with a water-repellent coating (DWR), which often contains such fluorine compounds (PFAS, PFCs) that are biologically persistent, remain in the environment for a long time, and can cause health issues. I encourage everyone to choose gear (sleeping bags, jackets, hammocks, etc.) that is free of PFC compounds, as sometimes the gear we use can silently harm the environment. Read more here.

3. Sewing and technology

I have noticed many times that other hammocks that have a removable bug net use only one zipper with two pullers. This means that you can only open one side of the hammock and, if you want to also open the other side, you have to turn the zipper pullers around the perimeter of the hammock. „Gilis“ has two separate zippers, each with 2 pullers, allowing the zipper to be pulled back on both sides of the hammock. „Gilis“ is made by professional Samogitian seamstresses, whose wisdom is put into quality production solutions. All the seams in the hammock are beautifully concealed, leaving no unworked areas. The bug net traps heat inside the hammock during the cold season, thus raising the comfort temperature by 2-3 degrees C. As the net is fully removable, it can be easily replaced if damaged. Alternatively, a wind cover can be used in place of the netting, which is even more heat-retaining in the hammock compared to the netting

Features:

• Dyneema® ridge line
• Dyneema® continuous loop
• Fabric – premium Ripstop nylon, one of the strongest and best materials for a hammock
• Water repellent fabric (PFC free)
• Bug net – Noseeum
• Length – 350 cm (11,5 ft)
• Width – 150 cm (59 in)
• Weight – 600 g (1,32 lbs)
• Weight without bug net – 410 g (0,9 lbs)
• Fabric holds up to 160 kg (safe limit), but practice shows that it can hold 2-3 people without any problems
• The minimum size of the hammock when compressed and rolled up is 15 x 10 x 10 cm

When should I choose this hammock?

The hammock is suitable for use all year round, but it is at its most comfortable in the summer, when no pesky mosquitoes interfere with your rest.

I can also model a few situations:
1. This hammock is a great choice for those who want to start a career in bushcrafting or outdoor recreation in general. The hammock is light, small and has a net. It is the perfect choice for short hikes or for relaxing in nature. Suitable for both lying down in the garden between jobs and going into the woods to clear your head and restart your soul.
2. This hammock is a compact choice for those who are often active, hike long distances and want quality comfort/rest while keeping the weight of their backpack as low as possible.
