Hennessy Hammock - Snakeskins

I use this for the rainfly, not the hammock because it makes setup very fast and a fast setup is important for the rainfly.My rain-fly is completely ready to go with ridgeline, shock cord, and pegs already in the snake skin. I simply attach one side of the ridgeline to a tree, run it across to the other tree, tie it down and slide back the snake skins. I can then quickly get the pegs into the ground to form the shelter. This is perfect in a rainstorm when you're trying to get yourself and gear out of the rain quickly.Another nice thing is if you're setting out in the morning after a rain, you can shake off all the water you can from the rain-fly and then slide the snakeskins over, stuff it in a sack and you're ready to go. Keeps the residual water out of your pack.Lastly, if you want to keep your rain-fly completely out of the way, but ready for quick use, just pull the snakeskins over (see photo). Weather this evening was reported to be good, so I wrapped up the rain-fly to enjoy the night-time sky. But if it started raining, I only needed to pull back the snakeskins and tie down to pegs I already had previously positioned in the sand.Adds almost no weight to your pack, very compact, convenient, good construction, easy to use.

If you use a tarp snakeskins are essential. I have another snakeskin that lasted 11 years. No tips or tears. Great, lightweight material.

First off, snake skins are pretty light and make setting up a hammock and\or rainfly a snap. If you use these, the hammock or rainfly will never touch the ground itself which is nice when setting up. When it's time to tear down, it's just a matter of sliding them back over the hammock and throwing them into a sack. I use a sep. pair on a rain fly as well. I shake the fly off the best I can and use the snake skins for fast tear down. If needed, after a trip, I hang the fly up in the garage to dry more. I can't express how fast snake skins are for teardown so you aren't stuck trying to fold a large fly or hammock to get it back in to the bag. **The vendor that sells these on Amazon ships incredibly fast.**I use snake skins for a Hennessy Deep Jungle XL hammock and their Hex Asym Rainfly 30D rainfly. These weigh 2.3 oz (part #: 167) and will fit the Deep Jungle XL (this is one of the largest single person hammocks available) and the hex rain fly fairly easily.Hennessy also has another pair of snake skins that weigh 3.28 oz (#: P169) and have a wider diameter. If you use the Hennessy website or Amazon to order the snakeskins XL - you will receive the 2.3 oz version - you need to call Hennessy and specifically ask for the #169 version (which is currently only sold with the new larger hammocks). I use the larger diameter for the rain fly because I switched the stock cordage with thicker and longer pieces of paracord. Even with this change, these snake skins still worked, but it's very snug. The larger size just makes it easier to slide them off and on with the thicker\longer cordage.If you aren't doing any mods to the hammock or fly these will work absolutely fine for you - just posted the extra details for the people that use thicker paracord or bankline for extended trips to the woods.Hope this helps some one out. Attached a picture that shows the 2.3 oz version on the left (sold on Amazon) and the hammock version that you can get if you call Hennessy directly. **Again, if you haven't switched out the lines, this will work fine for you and shave a couple more ounces.**

These are durable and quick to use. Setting up and breaking down could never be easier. Only problems that I have ran into is that they don’t fit XL hammocks and XL rain flies very well. They also do not pack as small as a double ended stuff sack.

Love this for my ENO Doublenest and ProFly set up. Easily "gobbles up" the whole system, with room to spare, so I can pack up camp in a hurry.Love this - worth the price down to the last penny!

Makes hammock setup and packing it away easier.

These are just plain awesome! They make setting up my tarp such a breeze. I'm able to leave my ridgeline connected to my tarp so all I have to do is connect the ends of my ridgeline to the trees and my tarp is setup in seconds. These are especially helpful if you find yourself setting up in the rain as you can set your tarp up much faster and keep your hammock completely dry as you can finish your set-up out of the rain. Also nice to be able to tuck your tarp away and just hang in your hammock and enjoy the stars, and if there's a chance of rain, just pull these back, stake your tarp and your golden. Great concept and made of high quality material. Will probably buy another set to use for my hammock as well. Depending on your gear and personal preference, these do allow the room to stuff your hammock and tarp together. Personally, I like keeping my tarp seperate so I can throw my tarp up quickly if it starts raining and I need a dry place to cook a quick meal or just wait out a passing shower.

I bought two of these in XL to go over "standard" 11' hammock tarps. While they do fit, I definitely wish I had gone with the XXL size in hindsight. I can't imagine the XL size actually being a breeze to slip on and off of anything short of an ultralight Dyneema/Cuben Fiber tarp.All of that said, they seem well made and lightweight. Struggling a bit to feed them off/on due to the snug fit is still worth not even really needing a stuff sack anymore, not to mention the tidiness of my ridgeline with minimal effort it provides.

kein Pfriemeln mehr mit dem nassen, glitschigen Tarp in den zu kleinen Packsack. Zusammenrollen, die Schläuche drüberziehen und einpacken. Wenn kein Regen droht kann man das Tarp leicht aus dem Weg räumen und bei Bedarf in zwei Minuten wieder aufspannen. Die Verarbeitung ist so lala, ein hängen ein paar Fäden raus an den Nähten, aber es tut was es soll.

these drastically cut down on pack up time. Your hammock will stay dry plus youcanjust roll the snake up into your ruck and youre good to go

I already had 2 Snakeskins that came with my Hennessy Expedition Asym 10 years agoThese seems lighter and more slick than the originalsI have the originals that go over the hammock/bug net core, and then this second set goes over the fly and inner core bundleEven in Ireland's driving rain I can get the inner core set aside still dry, and then a wet fly wrapped in a snakeskin as well without getting everything soakedHighly recommended
