Original Quality:
There can only be one original, the first Parachute Hammock. It was back in 1996, when TTTM Founder Charly came across parachute nylon after years of experience with traditional hammocks. Intrigued by the material’s unique qualities, such as low weight, high strength, and amazing compactness; he began his quest to create the ultimate hammock. Over the course of more than 20 years, a team of passionate people come to work for TTTM. They have been perfecting a comfortable yet strikingly simple hammock with a long lifespan.
Compact pack size:
Traditional hammocks cannot be folded and stored easily since they use spreader bars, the TTTM parachute hammock has no spreader bars. A parachute hammock is much lighter than a traditional Mayan one. Even though it is more spacious when in use, it is much smaller when stored in its attached express setting bag. The clever bag designs make it easy to fit the hammock in your backpack or hang it from your belt.
Weatherproof:
The cotton strings of traditional hammocks absorb moisture, making it more susceptible to mold and mildew. The synthetic material of parachute hammocks, on the other hand, is hydrophobic. Parachute nylon fabric will also see its color fade much slower, but direct sunlight should be avoided. The TTTM Hammocks’ fabric is easy to clean and will not rot.
Safety and comfort:
The mesh of traditional hammocks is likely to leave impressions on your skin, and fingers and toes can get stuck in the net. The delicate cotton strings can easily snag, so you need to be extra careful when getting in and out. The TTTM hammocks have a sturdy and smooth fabric and a weight limit of 200kg. TTTM Parachute hammocks are elastic and breathable, so they don’t absorb sweat, which cotton hammocks do. The odor this accumulates could attract rodents and other animals. Some people fear hammocks, because they think they will fall out. Indeed, hammocks that use a spreader bar to keep the ends open will easily flip and throw the user to the ground. In TTTM parachute nylon hammocks the fabric is bunched up in a small area at the ends. This creates a cocoon like space that will not flip without the help of your friends! Backflip video on Youtube.
Long Lifespan:
Parachute hammocks have approximately three times the lifespan compared to traditional ones. The TTTM hammock offers great value for money and as the one and only ORIGINAL, its name is synonymous with high durability. You could definitely resell it at a good price, but why would you?
Quick drying material:
When traveling as a backpacker you’ll appreciate that a wet nylon hammock holds very little water, whereas a wet cotton hammock will mean a substantial increase in weight.
The TTTM Parachute hammock is easy to wash, by hand or machine, it is designed to withstand the toughest conditions.
