Hennessy Hammock Custom Jungle Safari Zip Body + Webbing review

This assessment examines Hennessy’s custom “Build Your Own Jungle Safari Zip” offer, product 460819871. It is a separate offer from the stock-rainfly Jungle Safari M68: the builder’s initial step is a hammock body with a selected webbing pair, while the rain cover and insulation are later choices. No use, sleep test, ownership, or physical measurement is claimed.

A large Safari body without an automatic fly

The exact builder labels the initial step as the Jungle Safari body without a rainfly and offers 42-, 72-, and 96-inch TreeHugger choices. The product record preserves the three options as P68E+P213, P68E+P216 and P68E+P220. Hennessy’s matching M68 page lists a 144-by-59-inch lower body, seven-foot user-height limit, 350-pound hammock limit, side-zip entry and attached 30D No-See-Um mesh. The 144-inch fabric length is twelve feet; it does not establish usable sleep area or anchor span.

The builder pairs its strap lengths with trees up to 14, 24 and 36 inches in diameter. Treat these as manufacturer reference pairings, then check the actual tree, spacing, placement and site rules. The strap choice changes the suspension length delivered with this offer, not the body capacity. The 350-pound number remains a hammock-body limit, not a rating of webbing, rope, connectors, tree or completed hang.

Optional rain and insulation are separate decisions

Unlike the standard M68 page’s stock double-wide hex fly, this builder offers a Hex Rainfly 30D Silnylon or Hex Rainfly 70D Polyester as optional additions. It also lists the Heat Reflecting Double Bubble Pad XL as a separate model-matched option for the two-layer bottom. The starter package therefore cannot be treated as a rain-ready or warm setup merely because the body has a screen and double bottom. Rain cover, insect mesh and under-body insulation solve different problems.

No clear carry weight is stated for this custom body-plus-webbing configuration. The M68 page’s packed figure covers a different standard package and has its own metric-versus-imperial difference; the custom record’s numeric weight field lacks a unit and contents basis. I leave a custom package weight unassigned. The two-layer pad is also not included unless selected as a later option.

When to choose it over the standard M68

Choose the custom listing for comparison if you want the large Safari body and integrated screen but prefer to choose the same-order webbing length and make an explicit canopy decision. The fixed M68 offer is easier to interpret as a stock-fly configuration, though its page itself contains inconsistent webbing copy; verify the exact length with the seller. The two products share a body family but differ in the initial package, so an M68 standard review should not be treated as proof that the custom cart contains a fly.

Before checkout, verify the selected body-plus-webbing SKU, decide whether to add one of the listed flies or insulation pieces, and review the maker’s model-specific setup guidance. Check the full component path and campsite conditions rather than relying on an isolated strength value. The published dimensions and limits are screening figures, not a personal comfort recommendation, a cold-weather guarantee, or evidence of hands-on performance.
