Bat Hammock System -- Hammock, Cone Rain Fly, Stuff Sack.

BAT HAMMOCK
The Bat Hammock is a single point hammock for hanging from one attachment above you. This is required if you need to sleep hanging on the side of a cliff or to hang under under a single limb of a tree up and away from the bears. The hammock extends 50cm up on both sides of you, and the three straps on both sides are 100cm long meeting at a main reinforced attach loop above. The hammock is 7' long (2.1 meters) and curls up around your feet and head for safety, so that there is no way you can slide out. The hammock has double layers with a velcro access for inserting a foam pad if desired. The hammock is designed to pack small and light (appx 2kg). There are hanging loops inside and outside on both sides of the hammock for clipping in gear, and there are two velcro mesh pockets in the middle which are easily accessible. We have installed special loop pockets on the fore and aft spreaders for insertion of a stick or tent poles as a spreader bars to keep the hammock extended and make it more comfortable. (This hammock can easily be used without foam pad and without the spreader bar, but the features are there if required). The three webbing straps from each side pass completely under the body and incorporate "X-design" to support the body in the hammock.

Velcro opening for optional insertion of foam pad for increased comfort.

External and internal loops and mesh pockets for stowing gear.

Looking towards your toes -- the entry and exit point of the Bat Hammock.

It is easy to get into the hammock by sitting at the open end below your feet, and then rolling back and into the the hammock. Then you can easily adjust your position fore and aft to find the best balancing point for sleeping. As previously mentioned, you can install "longitudinal spreaders" (sticks or tent poles) in the loops provided, and you can also insert "lateral spreaders" to hold the hammock open and apart. These are not necessary, but different people will like to try different options for comfort. We have purposely not put adjustments on the vertical webbing, because this could be a weak point. Instead, you are free to use and ring and carabineer to shorten the vertical webs near your head, to incline your body into more of a sitting position (depending on how much you shorten the 2 vertical webs nearest your head). Materials: The Bat Hammock is made with Nylon 420D and reinforced with 2 layers of ES Polyspun Polyester 450 (yarncount 150x30) coated with Breatex to keep it waterproof but breathable and comfortable. The straps are 1.25" Nylon, and the Cone Rain Fly is Ripstop Nylon. Color: Royal Blue or Olive Green with black straps. Dimensions: 7' long x 8' high (including the 1 meter straps) to a single attach loop. (packed: 15cm x 15cm x 10cm). Warning: Mountain Climbing is extremely dangerous. Use of this hammock for cliff-camping requires training, experience, thorough visual inspection and additional harness and clip-in separate from the hammock for additional safety. We cannot be responsible for equipment failure, so check it very carefully yourself and never trust any one piece of equipment 100%.

Inside sleeves for optional "longitudinal spreaders" to hold the hammock open.

"Longitudinal spreaders" are are not necessary, but sticks or tent poles can be used.

You can make your own Cone Fly to cover the Bat Hammock (we do not make this).

Your Fly Sheet should fasten at the top with a hole in the center for the Bat Hammock to pass through.
