ENO Sub6 Ultralight Hammock

The Wanderlust Verdict: The ENO Sub6 is a masterclass in ultralight engineering. By utilizing 30D ripstop nylon and swapping heavy metal carabiners for ultra-light aluminum toggles, ENO created a hammock that weighs less than an apple (6.2 oz) and packs down to the size of a tennis ball.

Pros:

Insane Weight Savings: If you are thru-hiking or fast-packing, this is your holy grail. It practically disappears in your pack.

Breathable Durability: The specialized ripstop fabric easily supports 300 lbs while remaining highly breathable for humid summer nights.

Toggle System: The integrated aluminum toggles are designed to ditch heavy hardware entirely while still providing a secure connection to your suspension.

Things to Consider:

The Length Trade-off: To get the weight this low, ENO made the hammock roughly 9 feet long. If you are over 6 feet tall, achieving a perfectly flat, diagonal lay might feel a bit cramped.

Hardware Compatibility: Because it uses toggles instead of carabiners, you will want to make sure you pair it with compatible hammock straps.

Build Your Ultralight Kit: The Sub6 is a minimalist foundation. To make it trail-ready for multi-day trips, we highly recommend adding a pair of tree straps to hang your hammock, a rain fly and/or underquilt  for weather protection and a bug net for mosquito season.

Meet the ENO Sub6 Ultralight Hammock—the pack-light, lounge-anywhere hang for hikers and fast-packers. At just 6.2 oz, it disappears in your pack yet still delivers a comfy, secure lay when you reach camp or a trail overlook.

Built from breathable ripstop fabric with reinforced stitching, the Sub6 balances featherweight carry with trail-ready durability. The gathered-end design lets most users find a relaxed, slightly diagonal position for a flatter lay and better shoulder/hip comfort.

Setup is quick. Pair it with ENO straps (sold separately) and you’re off the ground in minutes. The attached stuff sack keeps the hammock tidy in your pack and doubles as a small pocket for a headlamp or snacks while you lounge. The fabric dries fast after dew or a brief sprinkle, so you’re not packing up a soggy bundle.
