DD Hammock's DD Whoopie Slings are a lightweight, knot free alternative to hammock webbing. A fantastic modification for anyone looking to reduce the pack weight of their hammock.
DD Hammocks says
A pair of our ready-made Whoopie Slings provide the lightest and most compact suspension for your hammock!
Upgrade your hammock webbing to these high-strength slings to make it even easier to alter the height and angle of your hang.
Our Verdict
Whoopie slings make adjusting the 'hang' (height) of your hammock super quick and easy and no knots are required. Adjustable length is roughly from 40cm to 180cm per sling giving you plenty of room to choose suitable trees. It's definitely worth watching the set up video.
Please note: The Tree Huggers and Karabiners shown in the video are sold separately.
