Need a lightweight hammock? Parachute hammocks are easy to carry and very durable, perfect for backpacking or camping!

Parachute Hammocks
Dynamic bright bold colors, a feather light eleven ounces, durable and washable nylon are some of the key features that make our parachute hammocks so popular. For the die hard hiker and outdoor enthusiast these pack up neatly in an 8 inch by 4 inch pouch making them simple to carry with you wherever you might be headed. When you have limited space for packing these will almost always fit in perfectly. While nylon offers a smooth and soft surface, this material is considerably stronger than cotton. Not only resilient to the weather including rain, UV rays, and mildew - these are sturdy enough to hold up to 250 pounds! The nylon ropes on either end are built to last and will allow you to hook up to almost anything. This mighty hammock is not small on size either. These parachute hammocks stretch out approximately 84 inches long by 54 inches wide, that's as big as a queen sized bed, but don't even think of strapping that to your back on a hike then tying to a tree to make a good place to rest. We tried, it doesn't work

Nylon Or Parachute Makes The Best Hammocks

parachute hammocksOnce you learn about the qualities of nylon as a product you can quickly understand why a nylon hammock would serve many needs and carry many benefits. Nylon is a highly durable material that gives you a relaxing space to climb because the feel is so soft and so very comfortable. Being woven into a traditional fisherman style hammock or as a very lightweight sheet which can be folded down to carry in a tiny pouch in bold and brilliant colors its an item that can stand the test of time, the heat, the rain and just about anything you want to put it up against.
After a decade of research nylon was introduced in 1938 initially as a monofilament for bristles and then in 1940, as a multifilament yarn for women's stockings or as we typically call this hosiery item: nylons. This material was characterized for the long list of benefits and would soon be incorporated into the production of hundreds of thousands of items. Nylon is now manufactured as sheets, molded forms and coatings applied over or on items. Among the most noteworthy benefits its strength seems to rank as one of the most significant. Nylon has some 'give' with its elasticity; it also resists abrasion and does not absorb moisture like other materials which will prevent products from rotting. These qualities make nylon one of the perfect materials in the manufacturing of hammocks. With your nylon hammock being pounced on by kids, piled on by multiple bodies, left out in the rain, they even sit out all winter in snow too and with their UV protection the hot sun won't wear down the fibers either and it will remain sturdy and strong.
Whether you select the compact lightweight version for hiking and camping or the large woven nylon hammock you will have the silky surface allowing you to enjoy comfort at its finest. Cradled in a strong material that won't tear, won't rot, won't have mildew issues and the sunny colors stay vibrant even in the blazing sun will give you peace of mind on a sound bit of spending for a piece of relaxation that is like no other!
