Hennessy Hammock Australia has arrived just in time for spring! We now have a selection of hammocks, insulation and accessories in a warehouse in Brisbane ready to ship quickly to Australia and New Zealand addresses.

All prices are in Australian dollars with GST included in the price and shipping is free. We are working on adding additional I bought the Expedition at the same time and these are things that I noticed when I compared them. According to specs the Cub Zip body is made of 70D nylon. The Expedition Asym is listed as 70D Oxford nylon. After a visual and tactile inspection I believe that the two hammocks' bottoms are made out of the same material.

Though I can't be sure, the ridge line also appears to be the same thickness on both. The zipper on the Cub isn't as beefy as the Expedition's zipper though, but it still seems very sturdy. The suspension rope isn't as thick either. The specs agree on this point as it lists the breaking strength of the Cub suspension as lbs vs the Expedition's lbs.

Also, the tree huggers are 1" wide on the Cub compared to 1. As for features, the Cub has a mesh organizer and 2 plastic glove hooks on the ridge line. It has a plastic o-ring at each end of the ridge line so you can attach peak bags or other things using carabiners, s-biners, or whatever other means you can come up with.

I believe these are all the standard features on Hennessy hammocks and this "kids" model is no exception. As the name suggests this hammock has a zippered side entry instead of the classic bottom entry. Since this is marketed as a kids hammock I am glad of this. Though a bottom entry would likely be easier for a kid to get into I could see it also being a hazard as kids tend to thrash around more than adults and I can imagine a kid falling through a bottom entry.

A zippered side entry was a wise choice. The Cub's tarp is a standard issue Hennessy asym in other words minimal tarp. Better to buy a big-boy hammock they can grow into. Besides, Hennessy Hammocks have minimal resale value. Ideas that would be in the same price range? Originally Posted by Braingears. I was planning on my son being under the same tarp with me. I'm looking at the SuperFly. Two hammocks under one tarp is a whole new set of problems - you probably should start a thread on that subject alone.

You'll have to look at stacking versus side-by-side, spreader bars, finding three trees properly spaced, etc. Hennessy Cub Zip I agree with silversurfer.

You might as well get something for your son that will be useful for a long time. The cub zip, in my opinion, is not a wise investment. For a little more money , you can set yo your son with some stuff that'll last many years.

I made a diy hammock for my son.
