Weight limit is truly accurate
I was very happy with this hammock until it ripped when I was getting out on my 2nd use.I am not blaming ENO. Published weight limit is 250lbs. I am 6’4″ 255 to 260 and thought close enoughIt is incredibly comfortable for a big guy and side sleeper which is why I bought a bridge hammock. Gathered end hammocks don’t work for me that well.I recommend this for anyone who wants a bridge hammock. Even tall guys. If you are under 250!!. Luckily I wasn’t backpacking this time and deep in the woods SOL.At 6-4 there was still room. I would guess 6 8 as a max height.

Great night sleep
 

LOVE it. Great for side sleepers. Tested against the Warbonnet Ridgerunner bridge hammock
My whole life I’ve been an avid camper. You name it, I’ve slept on it. Cots, air mattresses, hammocks, paddle boards, dirt…And hammocks win hands down in any situation.Being a side sleeper, I find that bridge hammocks work best for me. -Those are the types of hammocks with bars across the head and feet keeping it spread open so you’re not sleeping in an envelope. They also take a little less skill to hang on and in.I own several brands of hammocks from boutique custom-made to mass-produced, like ENO. For the sake of this review, I’ll stick to the type of hammock and leave aside the wonderful benefits of supporting cottage manufacturers.The two bridge hammocks I use most are the Warbonnet Ridgerunner and the ENO SkyLite.*ENO-specific points for consideration*Cost: About $169, but often on sale• The spreader bars are the same side at the head and foot, making it easier to set up.• Definitely spring for the Helios XL suspension straps as they’re made to work best with this hammock.• Like the ENO SkyLoft, the SkyLight has higher sides at the mid-section, making for a more confident hang. • It definitely doesn’t feel tippy.• Easy all-in-one hammock that requires minimal fuss, so you’re more likely to get out more often and enjoy hammock camping.• There is no ridgeline, so you’re left with the tension and added loops inside the bug mesh if you need to hang a small light or even a fan. You could add a ridgeline, but you won’t have access inside the zipped up mesh.• Unless you’re going to manage the impossible perfectly even hang, you will curse yourself for trying to add a sleeping pad. It’ll end up bunched up at your feet about 10 minutes in. #$%&!!!• There is no ability to slip a pad into the underside or pocket area for additional insulation.• If you’re trying to do some cool weather hammock camping in the SkyLight, you’ll have to have an underquilt. No biggie, just a consideration.• The attached bug mesh doesn’t leave much in the way of clearance over your head and torso.*Warbonnet Ridgerunner points for consideration*Cost: About $130 and somewhat customizable.• Probably my favorite feature of the Ridgerunner is the ability to slip a pad in a pocket on the underside of the hammock, meaning you can get that extra insulation when the night gets cold. You could even double it up with an underquilt to keep things extra cozy.• All Warbonnet hammocks are known for being exceptionally well-made.• The attached bug mesh gives much more clearance over your head and torso, which helps if you don’t like feeling closed in.• The Ridgerunner has 2 different sized spreader bars, so you need to know which end you’re working with while hanging. Somehow even with only 2 options, it will take you 3 times to hang it right.• Adding a ridgeline is no big deal, but same as with the SkyLight.• The Ridgerunner walls are a bit low in the mid-section. I always feel a bit tippy in it, but have yet to actually fall.*PROS of the Warbonnet Ridgerunner and ENO SkyLight*• Ability to lay flat or on your side without an obstructed view.• Hammock camping will quickly become your favorite way to sleep outdoors. No more ground for you, darlin’.• Very easy on the hips and back.• Includes an attached bug net.• Ability to flip the hammock over and use without the net, if desired.• Both are lightweight and are backpacking-friendly.• Both may be used as a bivy tent with the addition of trekking poles and a sleeping pad when trees aren’t available.• Both require an additional rainfly for inclimate weather.• Both have pockets at the sides for phone, keys, etc.• On hot nights, if you’re lucky you can hang over a running stream or lake. You’ll never sleep cooler outside. It is the BEST.You won’t have a bad time in the ENO and they have some fun add-on accessories. And if you’re like me, it won’t be the last hammock you buy. Heck, you may even end up with the SkyLight, the SkyLoft, *and* the Ridgerunner. (Looks at the bin labeled “hammocks” –plural– in the corner.)
