The eno atlas straps are the best ones they have more loops and they stretch as much the slap strap pro ones will stretch throughout the night and you will be about to touch the ground with your back in the morning

Not sure which straps you would like me to compare to but these slap straps are as easy as it gets. You have about 4 levels of adjustment and just pick the best length and then test how much you sag. I can't think of a setup easier than these slap straps.

The slap straps are the easiest because all you have to do is loop around tree and slide one end in the hole. Then there are several built in loops so you can adjust how tight you need to pull your hammock. The ONLY downside and it isn't a huge one is that these straps will "give" a little, especially if you plan on sleeping overnight in your hammock, you may find your butt close to the ground. But, you can fix that by placing the loops pretty high on the tree.

Doesn't matter. The product is garbage. We've had two. The original purchase and a replacement and both snapped clean through on a fraying load bearing strand ruining the hammock. Unless you want to take it down every time you use it, even slight exposure to the elements seems to be enough to destroy this within 6-8 months.

I found that these have the best wooden handles you can buy, period. However, I could not get the straps to hold my weight reliably at 240. I purchased some straps from an auto parts store and switch between those and loops from a climbing gear store to use the rings. I also recommend the book "Overcoming Gravity" for proper technique and regimen. Good Luck! :D

It's my understanding that these straps are rated for 5000 pounds. I currently use Macs Custom tie downs that are rated for 10,000 pounds. It's easy to see the construction differences between both straps.

I bought a pair of wide hammock tree straps with heavy duty velcro that fit through the loops and wrap around the tree. Really secure, doesn't harm the tree. Also easy to undo when we want to take it to the beach.

no - the straps are extra and you will need these to hang the eno and have the adjustability for tree spacing - buy the large to give you more adjustabilty ....

If the hammock you are trying to use has some kind of clip on either end rather than just a string of some sort, then yes! Absolutely, and I HIGHLY recommend these "Atlas straps" over the regular "Sap straps" as well. They make the whole process much easier and more convenient.

The purchase includes only a hammock with S hooks at each end. You will have to either rig your own ropes or buy tree straps, I recommend the grand trunk straps because they are sturdy and very easy to use.

the S-shaped hook hooks on the pre-made loop side. After you rap the strap around a tree; hook the S-shaped hook (thats already hooked on pre-made loop end) to the metal ring and also hook your hammock to the metal ring. thats how i do it . Its very sterdy

I made my own strap after seeing how ridiculous the price is for straps on their website. As long as it is long enough and you can attach the ends over the metal knobs, anything will work! I even used an infinity scarf hooked on the metal knobs and over my shoulder. Worked great and felt comfy.

The design is because it is more compact. The very ends of the hammock sit on the y posts and then you connect it to the hooks at the bottom. I have a eno double nest hammock and I hook it to the hooks on the bottom with my tree straps, but you could also get some chain as well to connect it.

We use the "S" - one end hooked to the strap, the other end to our hammock.

Absolutely no comparison. I just bought the ENO for a nap type, casual hammock to slap up in a hurry and carry when traveling. When I go camping old Clark gets the nod without even thinking about it. I have only had the opportunity to lie in the ENO for a couple of short naps, so am not able to give you a definitive comfort test, but right now I don't find it to be as comfortable as my Clark, and I haven't made peace with the extra fabric along the sides of the hammock; it wants to flop over in my face. But take that with a grain of salt because like I said, I have not given it a fair chance.

I have never used the straps - the bed rail is so sturdy without them that it always seemed superfluous. I've even used this for clients with an adjustable bed, but you have to place it just right. It's a really good bed rail, comfy, well priced and extremely functional.

I can really speak of the Lifeline Jungle TX because i don't own one but from watching the videos they both employ the same tactics. The only difference i see is that the Jungle Tx has more versatility than the GoFit Gravity Strap - u can use it indoor/outdoor. Hope this helps?

Henessey is hands-down an awesome hammock.... they have a model for larger people just check the weight capacity and you are fine
