Hennessy Hammock Deep Jungle Zip, custom body + TreeHugger webbing review

This is the U.S. “Customize your Deep Jungle Zip” body-plus-webbing listing, product 306421703. It should not be confused with standard M230, which the Hennessy page describes as a stock-rainfly package with standard 42-inch webbing. The custom builder begins without a fly and lets the buyer choose the included webbing length before selecting optional shelter and insulation. I have not owned, slept in, measured or tested this hammock; the assessment relies on official product pages and the maker's public product record.

One regular body, three functional strap options

The product record preserves three variants: P235+P212 with 42-inch webbing, P235+P215 with 72-inch webbing, and P235+P219 with 96-inch webbing. They are one listed hammock body with a chosen strap length, not three different bodies. Hennessy pairs the three lengths with trees up to 14, 24 and 36 inches in diameter. Those pairings help identify a practical selection point, but do not establish that any given tree is suitable, that a site permits the hang, or that the chosen strap plus every other support part meets the complete setup's needs.

The custom builder says the first step is to order without a rainfly. Later steps show model-compatible fly choices and a Heat Reflecting Double Bubble Pad. By contrast, the standard M230 offer is described as including its stock rainfly and standard 42-inch webbing. This package difference matters more than the shared “Deep Jungle Zip” name: if the expectation is a fly in the initial purchase, verify that the custom order explicitly adds one.

The regular model's documented size tier

The matching M230 model page lists 120 by 59 inches of lower fabric, a six-foot height limit and a 250-pound hammock limit. The fabric length is ten feet when expressed in feet; it is not the spacing required between supports and does not predict whether a sleeper will like the diagonal lay. The 59-inch listing is fabric width, not a measurement of usable sleeping width. The manufacturer's 250-pound limit belongs to the hammock body, not to the ropes, TreeHugger webbing, knots, trees, anchors or complete suspension path.

The next size tier is a separate Deep Jungle Zip XL offer: its model page lists 130 by 59 inches, a seven-foot height limit and 300 pounds. Both sizes share the two-layer-bottom concept and attached insect mesh, but their length and maker load limits differ. A wider or longer number does not automatically equal a better fit; compare body measurements with your intended use and check with the manufacturer if height, span or support constraints are unusual.

Screen, bottom layers and weather planning

The M230 page lists 20D polyester No-See-Um mesh and describes attached mosquito netting. Its Deep Jungle body has two fabric layers and is designed to hold the matching reflective pad between them on the intended diagonal. That is a useful documented configuration for someone planning to use the maker's pad, but it is not an all-season guarantee and no temperature rating is established here. Hennessy itself cautions that even jungle conditions can become cold, especially at altitude, and suggests other systems for a true four-season insulation setup.

Insect mesh, rain coverage and bottom insulation do different jobs. A built-in net does not provide overhead rain protection; the first custom step has no fly; and the double bottom does not include the pad. Plan those layers against the forecast and the campsite. Confirm the exact fly model and current setup instructions, including how it is tensioned and oriented. Do not assume that a generic tarp or an unlisted accessory is compatible merely because it can be tied to the same supports.

Mass and equipment limitations

Hennessy's standard M230 page gives a packed weight of 2 pounds 10 ounces before its separately weighed 3 ounces of free webbing. That figure is for the standard model presentation, not a measured custom-package mass. The custom product record has a numeric weight field without an explicit unit or stated component basis. I therefore leave the custom body's package mass unresolved rather than turning either figure into a weight claim for the selected body-plus-webbing configuration.

The standard M230 page identifies a #5 double-slider side zipper and 1,200-pound-test Spectra ropes. These numbers describe particular components, not the capacity of an assembled hang. Verify the current exact itemized package and instructions, inspect the components, use suitable anchors and avoid treating any single published limit as a whole-system rating. A light fabric body still depends on the rest of the load path.

Who should choose the custom page?

The custom listing may suit a camper who wants the regular ten-foot Deep Jungle body and needs to choose 42-, 72- or 96-inch webbing, while deliberately building a separate rain and insulation plan. It is not the easiest choice if a stock fly-equipped package is the priority. Standard M230 has the fly and standard 42-inch webbing in its ordinary offer; the custom page provides strap-length flexibility but asks the buyer to make more decisions. Confirm the final cart before comparing packages or budgets.

The official custom image shows the branded Deep Jungle sack and folded webbing. It does not show the deployed hammock, side zipper in use, fly or chosen length. The source record ties it to the 306421703 listing, but the image alone cannot prove the selected variant. A CPSC ProductName query for Hennessy and one for Deep Jungle returned empty result sets; those searches are limited and do not clear an exact model or UPC. This is a documentary review, not a safety certification or field report.
