Why it works as a gift
Roo Single gives an outdoor recipient an instant place to stop. The attached stuff sack packs the hammock into a daypack-friendly bundle, while the 100-inch bed is intentionally narrower and lighter than Kammok's Roo Double. For parks, campsites and afternoon hangs, that single-person focus is the point.
The current fabric is 100% recycled, bluesign-approved 40-denier diamond ripstop, so the story is more considered than a generic impulse hammock. Its stated 500-pound capacity also provides a large numerical safety margin—provided the entire suspension system, anchors and setup are equally appropriate.
Who should get it?
- Great for: solo park, campsite and backyard lounging.
- Great for: day hikers wanting a compact rest spot without Double-size fabric.
- Great for: recipients who already own tree-friendly hammock straps.
- Skip for: couples, tall sleepers wanting an 11-foot bed or anyone expecting an all-in-one shelter.
The verdict
A lovely hammock, not a complete hanging kit
At 11.4 ounces, Roo Single is light enough to bring for comfort rather than shelter and its soft, compact fabric is the gift appeal. The package is incomplete without compatible straps, and a hammock alone offers no rain, bug or underbody insulation. Current official inventory is also positioned as outlet/final sale with no warranty, so confirm the seller, package and return terms before buying.
Why it works
- ✓ 11.4-ounce solo hammock packs to roughly 6.1×3.3×3.3 inches
- ✓ 100×50-inch recycled 40D ripstop bed with 500-pound manufacturer rating
- ✓ Attached stuff sack and included climbing-rated carabiners
Tradeoffs
- × Tree straps are sold separately and add cost, bulk and weight
- × Single width is less roomy than Roo Double and no weather protection is included

Before you buy
- Match Roo Single in recycled 40D fabric: 100 by 50 inches, 11.4 ounces and one-person capacity. Roo Single UL, Roo Double and older Roo versions use different fabrics, sizes and weights.
- Tree straps are not included. A gift-ready setup needs compatible, tree-friendly webbing straps rated for the user and system; never improvise with thin cord that can damage bark or create unsafe anchors.
- The 500-pound figure is the hammock's manufacturer rating, not permission to ignore the weakest component. Strap, carabiner, anchor, stitching condition, hang angle and dynamic movement all affect system safety.
- Inspect fabric, seams and connectors before every use. Independent retailer reviews include reports of seam failures, so retire the hammock after tears, damaged stitching, chemical exposure or questionable abrasion.
- Hang over clear ground at sitting height, away from cliffs, water, vehicles, dead branches and sharp objects. Follow local rules and Kammok's setup instructions; never stack occupants or jump into it.
- Kammok currently labels official outlet units final sale with no warranty. Marketplace stock may have different seller and return coverage, so verify condition, authenticity, included parts and terms before gifting.
Good to know
Does the Kammok Roo Single include tree straps?
No. It includes the hammock, attached stuff sack and end connectors, but suspension straps are a separate purchase. Include rated tree-friendly straps if the recipient does not already own them.
How big and heavy is Roo Single?
The current recycled model is 100 by 50 inches, weighs 11.4 ounces and packs to about 6.1 by 3.3 by 3.3 inches. Suspension weight is additional.
Can two people use the Roo Single?
It is designated as a one-person hammock despite its 500-pound material rating. Choose Roo Double for more width, and never treat a weight number as a substitute for the manufacturer's occupancy and setup guidance.
Is it an overnight hammock shelter?
Not by itself. Overnight use may require a tarp, bug net and under-insulation or pad appropriate to the weather, plus safe rated suspension. Roo Single is fundamentally an open hammock.
