ENO Atlas Hammock Straps vs Kammok Python 10 UL
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Hammock Straps: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Atlas wins because it states 400 lb, tied for the highest spec-sheet figure here, and backs it with a named webbing and a tapering width that is kinder to trees. The Python 10 UL is the one to take if you are carrying the straps any distance, at a stated 3 ounces against a 300 lb capacity.
ENO Atlas Hammock Straps
Buy itA stated 400 lb capacity, tied for the highest here, on a daisy chain with 15 attachment points and a width that tapers toward the hammock end.
- ENO states a capacity of 400 lbs, or 181 kg, level with Grand Trunk for the highest spec-sheet figure in this comparison.
- 1000D polyfilament webbing, a named material rather than a generic description.
- Stated dimensions of 9 feet by 1.5 inches tapering to 0.75 inches, so the wide end sits against the bark and the narrow end carries the carabiner.
- 15 attachment points per strap in a daisy chain, which is enough to fine-tune a hang without sliding anything.
- A stated 9 ounces, heavier than the ultralight Kammok, which matters if the straps live in a pack.
- Polyfilament webbing holds water and takes a while to dry once it has been rained on.
- The 9 foot length is short for wide-spaced trees, which is why the XL exists.
Kammok Python 10 UL
Buy itThree ounces for a stated 300 lb capacity, using a woven construction that removes the stitching bulk from the loops.
- Kammok states 3 ounces and a capacity of 300 lb, so both halves of the weight question are answered.
- The Nanoweave construction eliminates extra stitching and bulk, which is where a conventional daisy chain adds both.
- Woven with SpiraLine, an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibre that Kammok describes as 15 times stronger than steel.
- A variable width design that widens at the end of each strap, putting the broad section against the tree.
- The only premium-tier straps here.
- 300 lb is below the ENO figure, which matters for heavier users or a two-person hammock.
- Thin webbing is less comfortable to handle and tension than a wide flat strap.
