Hennessy Hammock Safari Deluxe Zip, custom body + TreeHugger webbing review

The “Customize your Safari Deluxe Zip” listing is best read as an XXL hammock body paired with one selected TreeHugger webbing option—not as the complete stock Safari package. Its first build step explicitly orders the body without a rainfly; cover and insulation are later, optional choices. That distinction matters because Hennessy's separate standard Safari Deluxe page describes a larger, fly-equipped package. This assessment concerns the custom listing, Hennessy product 306421643, and not the standard Safari Deluxe Zip offer.

A long body with an XXL maker limit

Hennessy's matching Safari Deluxe Zip page lists lower-fabric dimensions of 144 by 59 inches. The 144-inch length converts to 12 feet, while the maker's stated user-height limit is 7 feet and its hammock-body limit is 350 pounds. These are manufacturer figures for the hammock, not a prediction of an individual's comfort, a minimum recommended clearance, or a rating for the whole suspension and anchor path. The 59-inch figure describes fabric width; it should not be read as clear sleeping width.

The page describes side entry through a heavy-duty #10 YKK zipper with two double sliders, an asymmetrical body, a structural ridgeline and attached 30D No-See-Um mesh. Those are meaningful differences from a bottom-entry Classic body or an open hammock with a separate net. They do not remove the need to follow Hennessy's setup instructions or keep the screen correctly positioned.

Choose webbing for a real site, not just a dropdown

The custom page offers 42-, 72- and 96-inch webbing variants, with Hennessy's stated pairings for trees up to 14, 24 and 36 inches in diameter respectively. The body and one chosen webbing pair are the initial offer; the selected length is not evidence that every tree, anchor distance or park installation is acceptable. Confirm the SKU and current selectable option in the cart, then check the actual trees, permitted hang and complete suspension directions. The manufacturer describes these straps as tree-protective webbing, but their length alone does not certify a whole setup.

Rain and insulation are separate decisions

The builder's first step says “without rainfly.” It then lists optional rainflies designed for the Safari Deluxe Zip, including Hex styles, and an optional Heat Reflecting Double Bubble Pad XL. Do not transfer the standard Safari page's included stock fly to this separate custom configuration, and do not assume an insulation layer is included. A screened hammock body addresses insects; it does not provide overhead rain coverage or warmth beneath the sleeper. Before a trip, make an item-by-item list of body, ropes or other support pieces, selected webbing, canopy, insulation and anchors, and verify every item in the exact order.

Two maker records disagree on fabric and packed weight

The matching Safari Deluxe model page identifies 70D polyurethane-coated polyester ripstop, while Hennessy's comparison chart describes the Safari Deluxe XXL fabric as 210D nylon. The standard model page lists 4 pounds 7 ounces before its complimentary webbing; the chart lists 3 pounds 14 ounces. Those are conflicting manufacturer descriptions for the family, not independent measurements of this custom body-plus-selected-webbing purchase. The Shopify variant record also carries a numeric weight field without a clear unit or package basis, so this review does not convert it into a custom-package weight. If fabric construction or carried mass is decisive, ask Hennessy which current specification applies to the exact offer.

Who should compare it, and what should be checked

This is a candidate for someone seeking a very long Hennessy side-entry body, an attached screen, a listed 350-pound hammock limit and the ability to choose longer webbing in the initial configuration. It is not a substitute for checking whether a 12-foot body and the site have suitable clearance. Nor does the body limit rate the webbing, support ropes, trees, connectors or complete hang. The larger body and optional weather layers should be assessed against the actual packing plan rather than an implied “all-in-one” label.

Before purchase, distinguish product 306421643 from the standard-rainfly Safari Deluxe listing, verify the body-plus-webbing SKU and length, and confirm what support components will be in the final package. Add a compatible fly and any needed insulation explicitly. Read the current side-entry, suspension and tree-care instructions and check the maker's current specifications if fabric or weight matters.

This is a comparison of Hennessy's published records, not a hands-on test. The custom package's mass and the model-family fabric description remain unsettled in the consulted maker sources. The listed 350-pound limit is a hammock-body figure only.
