There are some tieouts that can be used with the hammock, but I didn’t include those in the weight because the Ninox can be used without them. (For comparison though my double-layer Eldorado is about 26 oz, a single layer XLC is about 22 oz, a Chameleon is about 23 oz, and my beloved Ridgerunner with carbon fiber spreader bars is about 27 ounces-not counting suspensions.) I don’t ever remember Richard saying this was going to be a lightweight hammock though. The hammock and its stuff sack came in at 29.2 ounces while the original spec was supposed to be about 23 ounces.

First, and this is getting a lot a hate over on another thread, the finished product came in about 6 ounces heavier than the Kickstarter campaign said it would. Yeah, it sucked having to wait so long for delivery, but when your primary manufacturer backs out on you what can you do? But now I have a carrot-orange single-layer Ninox.įirst I’ll address the elephant (well two elephants) in the room. Richard (Rhett), Sierra Madre’s boss, did a good job keeping us informed of the delays.

Due to some unfortunate events for SM, delivery was delayed until August. I backed Sierra Madre’s Kickstarter for the Ninox back in February of this year. I’ve had this hammock for a few days now so this is essentially an initial review, but I have hung it and laid in it a couple times so I’m beginning to get a feel for it.
