What is Parachute Nylon?
Parachute Nylon (also known as Ripstop Nylon) is a taffeta material, but it's called parachute nylon because of its crinkly appearance that reminds people of parachutes. This is a strong fabric that is quite commonly used for hammocks as it also has a nice texture.
Parachute Nylon is soft, breathable and fast drying.

Wise Owl Hammocks - At a Glance
There's a few different hammocks available by Wise Owl so let's start with all the features they have in common.
All Wise Owl Hammocks have:
** Ok, I know I said that was a list of the features that are the same, but I do need to point out that the Ultra Light Hammock is made from 30 Denier 300T Ripstop Nylon. Think of this as the same, but different.
What are their differences?
There are a few choices when it comes to Wise Owl hammocks.
As well as a Double or Single size, there's one for the kids, and also a ultra-light hammock for when weight and packed-size really matters.
For the really serious hammock connoisseur, there's one that comes with extra wide 'tree-friendly straps' and a collectable patch.
What are tree-friendly straps?
Tree friendly straps are also known as eco-friendly straps. As these are wider than normal straps, they distribute weight over a wider area and don't dig into the bark of a tree. They protect the tree from abrasion.
