Kammok Roo Double XL, Granite Gray review

Roo Double XL is the size-led member of Kammok's open Roo hammock family. The exact US product page lists a 138-by-78-inch body—11.5 feet long and 6.5 feet wide—while the standard Roo Double is 120 by 69.3 inches. Both listings state a 500-pound hammock capacity. The XL package includes Racer Slings and Kanga Claws, but Kammok says straps are not included, so this is a larger hammock body with end hardware, not a fully equipped tree-hang kit or a net-and-rain shelter.

Why its larger body matters

The 138-inch length and 78-inch width are the clearest documented reasons to compare the XL. They exceed the standard Roo Double and Roo Double Printed dimensions, but do not establish personal comfort, usable diagonal lay or sufficient anchor spacing. Kammok describes the XL as designed for taller campers; that positioning is not an individual-fit guarantee.

The page lists one to two people for lounging and one person recommended for sleeping. Its “Double XL” name should not override that guidance. The maximum weight capacity is 500 pounds for the hammock body. This is not a rating for two sleeping occupants, the included end hardware, separate tree straps, anchors or the complete suspension system. Do not use that single number as a shortcut for determining whether a particular two-person setup is appropriate.

Body material and the package weight

The exact listing describes GravitasX 40D diamond ripstop nylon, 100% recycled and bluesign approved, with DWR waterproofing and a crinkle treatment. The page also lists eight gear loops and a water-resistant roll-top stuff sack. Those material and environmental descriptions are the manufacturer's claims; no fabric, durability or water test was performed for this review. The DWR-treated body is not an overhead rain tarp, and no integrated bug net or underbody insulation appears in the included list.

Kammok gives a packed size of 4.7 by 4.7 by 7.3 inches and a total packed weight of 1.3 pounds / 584 grams. Those rounded source units do not convert exactly, so I do not infer a precise ounce figure. The standard Roo Double is listed at 17.1 ounces and 4.3 by 4.3 by 6.5 inches. Neither manufacturer's package figure was independently measured; tree straps and added layers still belong in a trip-weight calculation.

Hammock ends are not tree straps

The manufacturer lists one hammock, two Racer Slings, two Kanga Claws and the attached stuff sack. The exact page says that tree straps are not included and points shoppers to Python 10 straps or other strap options. That is a meaningful package boundary: included slings and carabiners do not by themselves protect or connect the hammock to trees. The buyer still has to select compatible straps and appropriate support points.

Read current instructions for the hammock and every suspension part before combining them. Confirm each connection, adjustment method, anchor suitability and the limit of each component. The page's 500-pound maximum is for the hammock body, not a rating for the complete hang. A larger body has more fabric but not a higher listed capacity than its smaller Roo Double siblings.

Open body, separate camping layers

Roo Double XL has no integrated insect screen in the assessed configuration. Its product page does not list a rain tarp, underquilt or sleeping pad as part of the hammock package. Those are separate decisions rather than missing details to be guessed from a photograph or from the DWR finish. Use a compatible bug-protection option when insects matter, select a tarp for overhead weather exposure, and plan underbody warmth for the actual conditions.

The listed gear loops are useful interface points for accessories, but they do not document every maker's accessory as compatible. Verify the precise model, dimensions and attachment instructions. A hammock may fit some stand arrangements and not others; no generic stand clearance follows from the fabric length alone. Check stand span and any model-specific pairing with the manufacturer before relying on a setup away from trees.

Compare size, not just the XL name

Roo Double XL is the right sibling to compare when the listed 11.5-foot length or 78-inch width materially matters. The standard Roo Double is 10 feet long and 69.3 inches wide; the printed version is also 10 feet long and 68.5 inches wide, but uses a different 63D polyester fabric and carries an 18-ounce packed-weight listing. The XL preserves the 40D recycled nylon specification and has a larger listed package. These differences are more useful than treating the three similar names as interchangeable colors.

The exact product page source snapshot showed its listed color variants unavailable, and its copy contained sale/outlet messaging. That observation is not a claim about live inventory. Check the current seller, exact version, return conditions and included parts before purchase; no price or stock recommendation is implied here.

Who should keep Roo Double XL in view

It is a candidate when an 11.5-foot-by-78-inch body and the listed recycled nylon construction matter, and the buyer will source compatible straps separately. It clears those size thresholds but fails a same-package-strap or built-in-screen requirement. Larger fabric does not guarantee comfort, weather protection or higher load capacity.

Before buying, verify that the offer is specifically Roo Double XL, confirm the color and what comes in the seller's package, and account for the separate tree straps. Check the current instructions for the suspension and anchors. If you need insect protection, rain cover or insulation, research those as distinct components. This assessment is based on the official product page and product record; it makes no claim of ownership, field use, measurement or hands-on testing.
