A Definite Must Have. July 9, 2009 JBryant (Colorado, USA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I just bought an ENO DoubleNest Hammock and this is a MUST HAVE! I have some friends that have the regular straps, but they are definitely limited on hammock placement and do not have as many options. I like these straps because I can hang it from close trees or trees that are further apart with the many different strap options.
A MUST HAVE to set up any travel hammock February 3, 2010 H. Angeles (Hawaii, USA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Lightweight, versatile, quick and easy to use, and essential for any travel hammock. I bought these straps for my ENO Doublenest and my husband's Grand Trunk lightweight travel hammock. Works perfectly with both and it doesn't scar the trees/hanging aparatus it hangs from.

Excellent, they held my 300Lbs + weight no problem. Easy to setup and take down. Lightweight and easily packable in very little space.
Worth Every Penny May 7, 2010 Aaron T. Bagby 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
After doing a little research on lightweight backpacking, I decided on the ENO Slap Strap Pro, Grand Trunk Ultralight Hammock, and Kelty Noah's Tarp 9 shelter setup. After many successful backpacking trips, hikes, and backyard siestas, I can 100% vouch for the quality of this system, and the ENO slap straps in particular. They may seem a little pricey upfront, but you are paying for a great product that is both flawless in design and ease of use.
I'm 6'4 / 220lbs and I'm sure the straps could hold someone twice my weight, although it's doubtful my hammock could (as neither are supposed to). After using these over and over, I have still not found any flaws or weaknesses in the design or materials, aside from a little stretching the first few times I used them overnight when camping. The overall design seems perfect, with just enough length and loops without being too heavy or cumbersome. The straps come with a cool stuff sack, but I just usually throw them in with my hammock since they don't take up much space (also a bonus).
Setup is a piece of cake. The great part about the straps are their simplicity and versatility. I've only ran into a single scenario where I couldn't find a way to set everything up without a few feet of additional 550 cord which worked just fine. The only caveat is sometimes it can be a little tricky to find the "sweet spot" where the positioning of the hammock is exactly where you want it. But with a little adjustment, it's always worked out fine. There is nothing more annoying than having to re-adjust standard ropes, whereas the straps allow you to pick a different loop and raise or lower the hammock without it touching the ground (very helpful in a rain storm last weekend).
These are a great purchase and much better alternative to rope-based systems hands down. They are an investment, especially considering rope comes with most hammocks, but it is money well-spent. 5 stars.
Gets the job done! June 21, 2010 Flower w/ thorns (Deer Park, TX, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't have two trees large or close enough to each other in my backyard but did want a hammock. But I do have a patio with three big (2'x 2') colums made from brick that hold up the roof over the patio. I wrapped these straps around two of the columns and used an eagle nest hammock with it and it works great. Exactly what I wanted.
