TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

Our advice on how to rig your hammock:

1. Choose a place with a 3-5 m gap between 2 trees to hang your hammock. Be careful to not leave branches or stones below, to prevent accidents.

2. Hang the straps with carabiners by passing them around the trunk at a height between 1.5 m and 1.8 m.

3.Open the poles and slide them into the 2 sleeves, adjust the tension.

4. Don't tighten the hammock as much as possible: the ideal angle between the trunk and the hammock is 30°, quite an angle.

Sleeping in a hammock?

To get a good night's sleep, ideally lie diagonally.

This position will enable you to lie "flatter" and sleep on your side, once you get used to this technique.

Then let yourself be rocked to sleep, you will soon drowse off.

Don't forget to secure your belongings in your bag or in the hammock, to avoid them getting wet by the dew or being invaded by creepy crawlies.

Will my back hurt?

The shape of the hammock encourages you to sleep in a natural position.

This position can help reduce pressure on the bottom of your spine. It is very comfortable, even for those who already suffer from back pain.

It is important to note that despite all these benefits, a hammock may not be the best solution for you. We recommend that you consult your doctor before getting rid of your mattress.

A hammock all year round?

Hammocks are ideal in the summer, in warm countries, as it enables you to stay outside and enjoy the cool of the night.

However, on cooler nights, remember to insulate yourself with a mattress and a good sleeping bag!

Mosquito Net

The World Heath Organisation recommends at least 25 holes per cm² to stop mosquitoes effectively.

With 40 holes per sqcm, the mosquito net used on this hammock won't let any through.

Mosquito risk area

If you are visiting an area with a high level of mosquitoes, we recommend you also use anti-mosquito spray, essential oil-based with lemon eucalyptus or even icaridin.

Indeed, in some countries mosquitoes can be carriers of serious diseases such as chikungunya, dengue fever or even malaria.

And if it rains?

If you are bivouacking in an uncovered area or at risk of heavy rain then we recommend you use a tarp in addition to this hammock.
