Hennessy Hammock Expedition Zip Woodland M116 review

The Expedition Zip - Woodland M116 is not simply the standard Expedition Zip M16 recolored. Hennessy's exact M116 page specifies a substantially larger hexagonal rainfly and longer webbing, while the body remains in the regular Expedition size tier. This review is an evidence-led comparison of the maker's product page, its paired product record and the maker's comparison chart; I have not owned, hung, weighed or weather-tested this hammock.

The Woodland version changes the package, not the body tier

The exact US listing identifies product 7089298047045 as SKU M116, UPC 832667000792. Hennessy describes a Woodland camouflage finish, a side-entry zipper, attached mosquito mesh, support ropes, a detachable fly and tree webbing. The detailed specification gives a single 120-by-59-inch lower-fabric body, a six-foot user-height limit and a 250-pound hammock-body limit. Dividing the listed 120-inch length by 12 gives ten feet. Those are useful screening numbers, not clear sleeping space, personal-fit predictions or a rating for the complete hang.

The meaningful package distinction is overhead coverage: the M116 page calls its included fly the largest Hex and specifies 143 inches along the centerline by 120 inches wide. Its exact-model description also says the Woodland Zip includes longer 72-inch webbing. By contrast, the separately reviewed standard M16 has a smaller parallelogram fly and 42-inch webbing. So M116 may better suit a buyer who wants that maker-listed roof shape and more strap length in the same named offer, but first verify what the seller will actually ship; do not assume the label guarantees suitable attachment geometry at a particular campsite.

There is a real source conflict in the included webbing

Hennessy's M116-specific prose and the specification table each say 72 inches, and the table gives the strap width as 1.5 inches. Later, the same page's general “what's included” paragraph describes complimentary standard 42-inch TreeHugger webbing. That generic sentence appears intended for the wider product family, but the exact page does not explicitly say it is inapplicable to this SKU. The safe buyer action is to confirm the exact current package and strap length before choosing a trip or tree spacing around the longer figure. The product record verifies M116's SKU and UPC; it does not resolve that copy conflict.

The product page lists ten-foot polyester suspension ropes with a 1,500-pound test figure. That figure belongs to the rope component, not the webbing, connectors, hammock body, anchors or whole load path. Follow the exact current maker instructions and assess each component, attachment point, tree condition and campsite rule independently. Neither a long strap nor a rope test number proves that an actual site is suitable.

A large fly is not a weather test or a cold-weather system

The maker's stated fly dimensions identify the included canopy, but they do not prove rain protection in a given wind direction, seam durability, storm resistance or a safe pitch in exposed terrain. The attached 30D No-See-Um mesh is a bug barrier, not a waterproof layer. Hennessy's page lists no under-body pad in the M116 base contents, so a sleeper planning for cool conditions still needs a separately verified insulation plan. A rainfly overhead cannot replace insulation beneath the hammock, and no temperature promise follows from the model name or Woodland fabric.

The page lists a #10 YKK side zipper with two sliders and 70D high-density nylon taffeta. It also lists a packed figure of 3 pounds 4 ounces / 1,481 grams before the webbing, then gives webbing as 7 ounces / 206 grams. The gram conversions do not line up exactly with the imperial values, and the paired Shopify record has an unqualified variant weight of 1600 with no unit or package basis. I would not present a reconciled all-in mass or rank it by claimed grams until the manufacturer clarifies which components are counted. These are source claims, not measurements from this review.

How it compares with other Expedition choices

Against the regular M16, M116 keeps the same listed body length, width, height limit and hammock capacity; the reasons to consider the Woodland SKU are its included large Hex fly and longer-webbing claim rather than a larger sleeping surface or higher capacity. It is also different from custom Expedition Zip offers, where the first builder step can omit a fly and ask the shopper to choose webbing. Check the review of the standard Expedition Zip M16 and the relevant custom assessment rather than merging their package contents.

For buyers who already own a suitable tarp or straps, the separately configured body may be more appropriate, but that is a different offer and needs its own parts list. M116's documented fly may reduce the need to source a separate overhead cover, yet its weight basis is not settled and a fly is not always the preferred setup. If a simpler package or lower carried load is more important, compare the standard M16's actual details and other assessed regular hammocks instead of reading camouflage as a performance upgrade.

Who should consider it—and what to verify first

M116 is a useful candidate for a shopper seeking a screened 10-foot hammock body with a maker-listed 250-pound body limit, a matching large hex fly and webbing stated in the exact description. It is not a fit guarantee for someone near the height or weight boundary, and it cannot certify a tree, stand, anchor or complete setup. The page's strongest distinction is the package configuration; its most important unresolved detail is the exact webbing length.

Before purchase, match the exact M116 SKU and UPC, ask the seller to confirm whether the included straps are 42 or 72 inches, and verify the current cart contains the described Hex fly, mesh, ropes and webbing. Check current manufacturer setup and safety instructions, plan under-body insulation separately if needed, and read current recall information. Confirm the component ratings and site permissions yourself. This assessment makes no claim of personal ownership, field testing, measured weight, weather performance or customer experience.

How to read the “Cosmetic Second” sale listing

The separately listed 2026 Odds and Ends offer remains the M116 model: its paired manufacturer record repeats SKU M116 and UPC 832667000792, and its page repeats the M116 specification set. Hennessy labels the offer “Cosmetic Second” and says SnakeSkins are included, but does not identify the mark, show a unit-specific defect or describe inspection or repair. The offer record lists the same six gallery images as the regular M116 page; the existing studio photo identifies the model, not this particular unit or its condition.

This is the same hammock configuration for matching, not a new fit or capability. Before ordering, ask for current photos and a written description of the specific issue; clarify whether it is cosmetic rather than structural or safety-related, and confirm warranty, return, repair and package terms with the seller. The sale label and generic studio image do not answer those questions.
