The DD Hammocks Superlight Winter Hammock Kit provides the lightest complete hammock camping package for long distance hiking and ultralight backpacking. All components except sleeping bag and underblanket are approximately half the pack size and weight of the standard winter kit. Curated for hikers covering long distances on foot with gear on their back.
This DD superlight winter hammock kit is compiled specifically for long distance hiking and ultralight backpacking. All components except the Jura 2 sleeping bag and underblanket are approximately half the pack size and weight compared to the standard DD Winter Hammock Kit.
The weight savings matter most when carrying gear on your back for extended distances across the Scottish Highlands, Welsh valleys, and UK long distance trails. The reduced pack size allows more space for food and supplies on multi-day hiking expeditions.
Choose between the DD Superlight Hammock at 270g or the DD Superlight Frontline Hammock at 340g. Both fit people up to 6ft 5in and 100kg. The Superlight Hammock offers minimum weight. The Superlight Frontline adds features while maintaining ultralight credentials.
The DD Superlight Tarp weighs 460g compared to 790g for the standard DD Tarp 3x3. Size 3m x 2.9m provides coverage for regular sized hammocks. 19 reinforced attachment points offer numerous setup options. Pack size approximately one third of standard 3x3 tarp.
Made from ripstop nylon with 3000mm PU waterproof coating and taped central seam. Includes 4 superlight pegs and guy lines in separate bag.
The DD Superlight Mosquito Net weighs 190g. Fits around you like a cocoon and cinches closed with elastic. No spreader poles needed. Lightweight and compact. Can be left rolled over one end of hammock for use when needed. Dimensions 2.7m x 1.5m. Includes hanging pocket and stuff sack.
The DD Jura 2 Sleeping Bag XL and DD Underblanket are the same components as the standard winter kit. Both rated comfortable to -5C. These components cannot be made significantly lighter without compromising warmth for winter conditions.
Jura 2 XL suits people up to 6ft 5in (200cm) with chest up to 49in (127cm). Weighs 2.1kg. Underblanket weighs 950g. Combined insulation system works to -5C with appropriate clothing.
Superlight components (hammock, tarp, mosquito net) save approximately 400-500g compared to standard winter kit. The Jura 2 sleeping bag and underblanket remain the same weight as these cannot be reduced without compromising warmth. Total kit weight approximately 4.5kg compared to 5.4kg for standard winter kit.
The pack size reduction is more significant than weight savings. Superlight components pack to approximately half the size of standard components, freeing space in your pack for food and supplies on long distance hikes.
Wylies Outdoor World's owner Drew tested this superlight winter hammock kit under the same conditions as the standard winter kit. 4 nights a week for 2 years (4 months in winter, 2 months in summer) around Scotland and Northern England.
This testing confirms the superlight kit works for year round hammock camping in UK conditions when combined with appropriate clothing and natural wind protection. The weight and pack size savings make this kit suited for long distance hiking where you carry gear on your back for extended periods.
For camping where weight and pack size are less critical, see the standard DD Winter Hammock Kit which offers more comfort features at higher weight.
Each kit Drew has compiled is curated to appeal to campers with different needs. Some prioritize comfort at expense of weight and bulk, others are superlight, some offer balance. Drew makes custom hammock kits tailored to your needs on request.
