Kammok Roo Double, Ember Orange review

The Kammok Roo Double is a spacious, open hammock body rather than a complete camping shelter. Kammok lists a 120-by-69.3-inch fabric body, a 500-pound maximum hammock capacity and 17.1 ounces total packed weight. The product package includes two Dyneema Racer Slings and two Kanga Claw carabiners, but the manufacturer says tree straps are not included. A suitable strap-and-anchor plan is therefore still part of the purchase. This is a source-based assessment of the exact Roo Double listing, not an account of personal use or testing.

What is actually in the Roo Double package

The word “Double” can suggest a two-person sleeping bed, but Kammok's own capacity table is more specific: one to two people for lounging and one person recommended for sleeping. It lists 500 pounds as the hammock's maximum weight capacity. That number is not evidence of two-person sleeping comfort, and it does not rate every part of a complete hang. The listed package supplies hammock-end hardware—two Racer Slings and two Kanga Claws—while the separate tree straps that connect the system to supports are absent.

The hammock uses an attached roll-top stuff sack and Kammok gives a total packed weight of 17.1 ounces (482 grams), with packed dimensions of 4.3 by 4.3 by 6.5 inches. Those are maker-reported package figures, not weights I measured. They also do not represent an all-in overnight setup: straps, insect protection, a rain tarp and sleep insulation are additional equipment when needed. If a same-package strap requirement is important, this model does not meet it.

Body size is a useful filter, not a fit promise

The 120-inch listed length converts to 10 feet, and the stated width is 69.3 inches. These dimensions are helpful for screening against a firm minimum, especially when comparing several hammock styles. They do not establish the usable sleeping diagonal, a comfortable position for a particular person, a compatible stand span, or how much clearance a particular campsite needs. “Double” is the retail name, not a substitute for testing the actual layout or checking the manufacturer's setup limits.

Kammok also describes eight gear loops along the sides. That is a practical attachment point for small items or compatible sleep layers, but the loops do not mean those accessories are included. Check the exact item and attachment instructions for any quilt, pillow or organizer you plan to add. A hammock's stated fabric dimensions likewise do not tell you whether an accessory will fit or remain correctly positioned.

Fabric, water resistance and shelter are different questions

The exact product page identifies GravitasX 40D diamond ripstop nylon, 100% recycled and bluesign approved, with a durable water-repellent finish and a crinkle treatment. The product description calls the fabric breathable and water-resistant. Those are manufacturer descriptions; no independent fabric, comfort or durability test is claimed here. A DWR-treated hammock body is not an overhead rainfly and cannot replace a planned rain shelter.

The open body has no integrated bug screen in the listed configuration. The source page also does not list a rainfly or underbody insulation as included items. Those layers answer separate problems: a screen helps with insects, a tarp covers overhead exposure, and insulation beneath a sleeper addresses heat loss to the air. Choose them for the route, forecast and camp, and check exact compatibility rather than assuming a body treatment or gear loop supplies protection.

Hanging requires more than the included end hardware

Kammok calls the included Kanga Claws and Racer Slings a climbing-grade suspension system and its FAQ tells shoppers to order Python 10 tree straps or another strap option. The distinction is important: slings and carabiners attach at the hammock ends, while tree straps are a separate interface to the supports. The presence of end hardware does not make the listed package ready to hang from trees by itself.

Before combining equipment, read the current instructions for the hammock and every strap or connector. Check compatibility, the intended adjustment method, the suitability of each support and the lowest applicable component limit. The 500-pound number belongs to the hammock body; it is not a safe working load for the complete system. A higher claim for one accessory cannot increase the limit of another component or make an unsuitable anchor appropriate.

How it differs from the two other Roo Double listings

Roo Double Printed is not merely the same fabric in a different color: its exact page lists Laetus 63D polyester, a 68.5-inch width, an 18-ounce packed weight and explicit per-item force figures for the included slings and carabiners. Roo Double XL changes the body dimensions to 138 by 78 inches and lists 1.3 pounds / 584 grams packed. All three pages list a 500-pound hammock capacity, and none lists tree straps. These manufacturer specifications support a comparison of sizes and package details, not a comparative field-performance verdict.

Who should keep it on the shortlist

The Roo Double is a plausible comparison for someone who wants a 10-foot, wide open body, values an included pair of end slings and carabiners, and is comfortable adding compatible tree straps and any needed shelter or insulation. It clears a 10-foot minimum and a 69-inch minimum width in this site's finder, but not a 10.5-foot length floor. A 500-pound body capacity is the maker's stated figure, not a way to infer a particular sleeper count or all-hardware rating.

Before buying, confirm the exact Roo Double model and the selected color in the seller's package; the official page lists multiple colors, but its current selection can change. Confirm the included hammock, slings, carabiners and stuff sack, then account separately for tree straps. If your trip needs insects, rain protection or warmth, decide on each layer and verify its model-specific setup. For a hammock with a longer body, compare the Roo Double XL instead—but do not treat its larger dimensions as a guarantee of comfort or a higher load limit.
