Tester Bio Name: Leif Wisdahl Age: 34 Gender: Male Height: 5’10" (1.78 Meters) Weight: 210 Pounds (95.25 Kilograms) Email address: [email protected] City, State, Country: Corvallis, Oregon, U.S. Date: September 18, 2015 Backpacking background: I have been sparsely backpacking for 16 years but have been going on a weekly basis in Oregon (up in the mountains mainly) since I moved there a couple years ago. I was a wildland firefighter for 6 years. I also have been fishing my whole life and want to expand skills in other outdoor activities that I have done (hunting, mountain biking, canoeing/rafting, geocaching,snowshoeing) but am still fairly new at. Product Information ENO Atlas Chroma Hammock Straps Manufacturer: ENO Year of manufacture: 2015 URL: https://www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com Listed weight: 11 oz Dimensions: 9’ x 1” (2.74m x 2.54cm) Supported weight: up to 400 lbs (181 kg) MSRP: $34.95 I took my ENO sub7 hammock and ENO Atlas straps with me on a couple of day hikes in the Cascades of Oregon. The straps come in a nice mesh sack about the size of your hand when rolled up. The straps are quick to set up, no knots required. Just loop it around the trees and adjust the length by moving carabiners up or down the loops of the straps. To pack it back up just roll the straps back up and put them back in the mesh sack the way you took them out. Straps help prevent damaging trees you use. Summary These straps are quick and simple to set up. Pros: Ease of use protection for trees Quick to set up. Cons: Take more room in your pack than just using the ropes/strings that come with a hammock.
