ENO Atlas Hammock Straps vs Kammok Python 10 UL

The Atlas wins because it states 400 lb, the highest published figure here, and backs it with a named webbing and a tapering width that is kinder to trees. The Python 10 UL is the one to take if you are carrying the straps any distance, at a stated 3 ounces against a 300 lb capacity.

ENO Atlas Hammock Straps

Buy it

The highest published capacity here at 400 lb, on a daisy chain with 15 attachment points and a width that tapers toward the hammock end.

• ENO states a capacity of 400 lbs, or 181 kg, which is the highest figure published in this comparison.
• 1000D polyfilament webbing, a named material rather than a generic description.
• Stated dimensions of 9 feet by 1.5 inches tapering to 0.75 inches, so the wide end sits against the bark and the narrow end carries the carabiner.
• 15 attachment points per strap in a daisy chain, which is enough to fine-tune a hang without sliding anything.

• Heavier than the ultralight options, which matters if the straps live in a pack.
• Polyfilament webbing holds water and takes a while to dry once it has been rained on.
• The 9 foot length is short for wide-spaced trees, which is why the XL exists.

Kammok Python 10 UL

Buy it

Three ounces for a stated 300 lb capacity, using a woven construction that removes the stitching bulk from the loops.

• Kammok states 3 ounces and a capacity of 300 lb, so both halves of the weight question are answered.
• The Nanoweave construction eliminates extra stitching and bulk, which is where a conventional daisy chain adds both.
• Woven with Spiraline, which Kammok describes as a technical fibre 15 times stronger than steel by weight.
• A variable width design that widens at the end of each strap, putting the broad section against the tree.

• Most expensive straps here by a clear margin.
• 300 lb is below the ENO figure, which matters for heavier users or a two-person hammock.
• Thin webbing is less comfortable to handle and tension than a wide flat strap.
