The RedTail – Standard

Best for: Durability, heavier weight capacity, all-around use.

Built for those who want rugged dependability without breaking the bank, the RedTail Standard uses sturdy fabrics like 70D Ripstop Nylon, 1.8oz DymondLite Nylon, or Hexon 1.6 (350lb limit).

Features:

  • Fabric choices: 70D Ripstop, DymondLite 1.8oz, or Hexon 1.6
  • Weight limits: 300lbs (70D & DymondLite), 350lbs (Hexon 1.6)
  • Length options: 10' or 11'

Why choose Standard? More durable fabrics, higher weight limits, and budget-friendly pricing make this a versatile, long-lasting option for any camper.


The RedTail UL – Ultralight

Best for: Backpackers, hikers, and weight-conscious adventurers.

When every ounce matters, the RedTail UL delivers. Made with Hexon 1.2 (275lb limit) or Hexon 1.0 Woodland Camo (200lb limit), this model packs down light—just 13oz in Hexon 1.0—including stuff sack and ridgeline organizer.

Features:

  • Fabric choices: Hexon 1.2 or Hexon 1.0 (Woodland Camo)
  • Weight limits: 275lbs (Hexon 1.2), 200lbs (Hexon 1.0)
  • Length options: 10' or 11'

Why choose UL? Perfect for short trips, fastpacking, and those who prioritize low weight over long-term heavy-duty use. Treat gently—ultralight gear requires more care.


Which One Should You Choose?

  • Choose RedTail Standard if you want a hammock that’s tough, versatile, and ready for years of regular use.
  • Choose RedTail UL if you want the lightest possible setup for backpacking and are willing to trade some durability for weight savings.
