DD Hammocks Whoopie Slings - for those looking for the lightest and adjustable suspension system for their hammock!
Two ultralight (just 40g for the pair!) ready made DD Whoopie Slings for people looking for the lightest and most compact suspension system for their hammock.
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.
We recommend these for use with any of our hammocks and advise a weight limit of 150kg.
Made from amsteel which is incredibly tough, hard wearing, lightweight and compact (just 2.5mm thick).

Purchased these along with the super light carabiners and tree huggers to replace the original setup on hammock system. Smaller lighter and stronger.
Lighter & less bulky than straps. Hold my 113kg no problem.
I haven't had a chance for a proper "play" with them out in the field but my experimentation and examination shows them to be extremely good. Very well made, easy to adjust to lengthen or shorten and easy to lock in place. Definitely an invaluable piece of kit for ensuring the hang of the hammock is fine-tuned to the way you want, regardless of the anchor points. These are part of my pursuit of the Ultimate Hang and will do very nicely indeed.
Awesome concept and product is certainly super light weight and compact. One minus is that it is quite tough to loosen these off once the pressure goes on and they fully tighten up - they really lock down! (especially when they are right at the end of the length adjustment)
