Hennessy Hammock Hyperlite Zip, custom body + TreeHugger webbing review

Hennessy's custom Hyperlite Zip offer pairs the Hyperlite side-entry hammock body with one selected TreeHugger webbing length. The first builder step is explicitly without a rainfly; later fly and insulation choices are optional. This is product 306421667, not the standard Hyperlite Zip package that Hennessy's regular model page describes with its stock rainfly.

Large-size body and listed boundaries

The matching Hyperlite Zip page identifies a Large body with 120-by-59-inch lower-fabric dimensions, or 10 feet by 59 inches. Hennessy lists a maximum user height of 6 feet and a 200-pound hammock-body limit. Those are manufacturer limits and fabric measurements—not a personal comfort result, a guaranteed fit, or the capacity of every connected part in a completed hang.

The hammock uses side entry with a heavy-duty black #5 YKK zipper and two sliders, attached 20D polyester No-See-Um netting, an asymmetrical body and a structural ridgeline. These features distinguish it from the bottom-entry Ultralite Backpacker Classic, although the two have the same listed body length, width and 200-pound limit. The Hyperlite's exact materials and packing claims should be read on their own source record rather than inferred from a family label.

Compare the selected webbing to the site

The custom page offers 42-, 72- and 96-inch webbing, with Hennessy's stated tree-diameter pairings up to 14, 24 and 36 inches respectively. Its variants are recorded as P56E + P211, P56E + P214 and P56E+P218; spacing and capitalization differ in the source SKU text, so check the cart's exact selected variant. All three showed as selectable in the retrieved product record, which is only a point-in-time observation. Verify the current option and the actual trees, anchor path and campsite rules before relying on it.

Weather cover and insulation are not in step one

The custom builder places the rainfly in an optional second step and insulation in a third. It lists the Hyperlite 20D silnylon rainfly, Hex fly alternatives, a heat-reflecting pad and a #1 Zip SuperShelter as choices; the retrieved page marked its Hyperlite fly option out of stock at that time. That listing status can change and is not a reason to assume the custom hammock includes a different fly. Confirm the final cart and add a compatible cover and insulation explicitly if they are needed. A built-in insect net addresses neither overhead precipitation nor cold air under the body.

The published material and mass are not custom-package answers

Hennessy's standard Hyperlite page gives 28 ounces / 784 grams, not including the standard 2-ounce webbing, and the comparison chart lists 1 pound 12 ounces for the Hyperlite model. Those sources agree on the ordinary model's packed weight, but the custom listing has three selected webbing lengths and its product record's numeric weight field has no clear unit or contents basis. This review therefore does not assign the standard package's mass to the custom option.

Material wording also differs within the maker's records. The page narrative mentions a 30D Spectra-reinforced bottom; its specification list describes 30D high-tenacity PU/silicone-coated silnylon 66 ripstop; the comparison chart calls the hammock fabric “30D nylon/spectra.” Those descriptions are not identical. Keep the conflict open rather than describing one as a confirmed custom-build material; request clarification if it is important to a purchase decision.

Who should compare this listing

This may be worth comparing for someone seeking a side-entry Hennessy body with an attached insect screen and the ability to select webbing length at the hammock-order stage. It does not provide a documented load above 200 pounds, and the custom first step does not provide its standard fly-equipped arrangement. The 10-foot fabric length and 59-inch listed width are useful filter values only; they do not determine comfort or installation clearance.

Confirm product 306421667, the exact P56E webbing SKU and length, the current selectable options, the full list of included support parts and any compatible fly or insulation added to the order. Follow the current Hyperlite setup and suspension instructions and independently check every support element and anchor. Compare the Ultralite Backpacker Zip custom review for a similarly dimensioned but differently described body; differences should be resolved with the maker where material, mass or package details drive the decision.

This assessment compares Hennessy's published pages and product record; it does not claim ownership, field use, measured weight, human testing or sleeping comfort. The hammock-body limit is not a whole-system rating.
