DD Superlight Frontline Hammock

DD Superlight Frontline Hammock 620g Single-Layer Ultralight UK Thru-Hiking

The DD Hammocks Superlight Frontline Hammock weighs 620g and provides ultralight hammock camping with single-layer construction. This 2.7m x 1.4m hammock accommodates users up to 6ft 5" and 100kg, making it 230g lighter than the standard Frontline Hammock for ultralight backpacking across West Highland Way, Pennine Way, and UK long-distance trails.

The single-layer construction reduces weight for thru-hiking where every gram matters over hundreds of miles. The built-in ultra-fine mosquito net protects against Scottish midges and insects. Pre-fitted with DD Superlight suspension kit including Superlight Carabiners for immediate setup without additional equipment purchase.

DD Superlight Frontline Hammock 620g Weight Single-Layer Construction

The 620g weight includes the hammock, built-in mosquito net, 2 x 60cm spreader poles, elastic cord, and DD Superlight suspension kit with Superlight Carabiners. This is 230g lighter than the standard Frontline (850g) due to the single-layer construction and lightweight suspension system.

The 230g weight saving is significant for long-distance hiking across West Highland Way (96 miles), Pennine Way (268 miles), or Coast to Coast (192 miles) where pack weight directly affects hiking performance over multiple days. The single-layer design provides breathable sleeping without the double-layer insulation pocket found on standard Frontline hammocks.

DD Superlight Frontline Hammock 100kg Weight Capacity Lighter Users

The 100kg (15.7 stone) weight capacity is 25kg less than the standard Frontline (125kg) due to the lighter single-layer construction. The 100kg capacity accommodates most ultralight backpackers who prioritize weight savings over maximum weight capacity for thru-hiking UK long-distance trails.

Users over 100kg should choose the standard Frontline with 125kg capacity and double-layer construction for additional strength during wild camping and bushcraft activities.

DD Superlight Frontline Hammock Single-Layer Requires External Insulation

The single-layer construction cannot accommodate sleeping mats between layers like double-layer hammocks. For cold weather camping in Scottish Highlands or Welsh valleys, attach an external underblanket using the 4 corner tabs for comprehensive underside warmth, or use a sleeping bag rated for expected temperatures.

The DD Underblanket attaches to the 4 corner tabs and provides bottom insulation down to minus 5°C. Combine with the DD Hammock Quilt for comprehensive top and bottom insulation during winter thru-hiking. Browse our hammock quilts and underblankets collection for all insulation options.

DD Superlight Frontline Hammock Pre-Fitted Superlight Suspension Kit

The Superlight Frontline comes pre-fitted with DD Superlight suspension kit including Superlight Carabiners. This provides immediate setup without purchasing additional suspension equipment, reducing total system weight compared to standard webbing used on other Frontline hammocks.

For easier adjustment and faster deployment during thru-hiking, upgrade to DD Whoopie Slings which provide infinite adjustability and quicker setup after long hiking days. The DD Tree Huggers protect tree bark from damage while providing secure attachment points.

DD Superlight Frontline Hammock Requires Tarp Rain Protection UK Weather

This hammock is not waterproof and requires a tarp for rain protection during UK thru-hiking. The DD Superlight Tarp weighs 510g and provides 8.7 square metres of coverage, maintaining ultralight system weight for long-distance hiking across West Highland Way, Pennine Way, and Coast to Coast.

The DD Tarp 3x3 provides 9 square metres for extended stays. Browse our complete camping tarps collection for all DD tarp options.
