Weighing a scant 4 ounces, the 8-foot Daylite hammock packs down smaller than your phone.

In the hammocking world, the 5-ounce barrier is like breaking the 2-hour marathon: It’s elusive and seemingly unattainable. That is, until now.

Superior Hammock just announced “the world’s lightest hammock” with its quarter-pound—including stuff sack—Daylite. Launched on Kickstarter, the Daylite surpasses both the 5.2-ounce Hummingbird and the short-lived 4.9-ounce Sea to Summit hammocks.

Daylite: World’s Lightest Hammock

Earlier this year, we announced that Sea to Summit cracked 5 ounces with its Ultralight Hammock. But a couple months following our initial test, the brand switched to a heavier fabric, pushing it back over 5 ounces.

By our research, no other brand has a sub-5-ounce hammock. Though we haven’t tested its comfort or durability, the Daylite seems to have accomplished the weight record.

o be fair, weight isn’t the only consideration here. Each ounce is tied to the hammock’s overall dimensions. So, while the Daylite weighs less, it’s also a bit smaller. Here’s a comparison of the three (stuff sack weight included):

So, technically it is the lightest hammock on the market. But it’s also shorter and narrower than its competitors. That shouldn’t be an issue for average-size and smaller people. But for anyone with wide shoulders or a few extra inches head-to-toe, it could mean a tighter fit.

For ultralight hikers and backpackers who value weight over pure comfort, this looks like a winner. Not only is it the lightest, it also packs smaller than its competitors. Stuffed in its sack, the Daylite takes up 3 x 3 x 2.5 inches of real estate in your pack.

The Daylite is made with ripstop and supports an industry-standard 300 pounds. Its $99 price tag is a few bucks above the competition, but Kickstarter buy-ins start at $79, a decent value.

If you don’t already have suspension, the brand offers two 10-foot Dyneema straps and a titanium buckle for $30 retail ($20 early bird). The straps and buckle add 3 ounces to the full kit.

So, hammock world, you’re on notice: The 4-ounce barrier is next.
