description Hummingbird Hammocks Single+ Overview
Hummingbird Hammocks are the ultimate choice for the weight-conscious traveler. Using parachute-grade materials and high-strength Dyneema cordage, these hammocks are incredibly light and pack down to the size of a soda can.

While they lack the comfort features of larger, gathered-end hammocks, their portability is unmatched.
