The 4Season Explorer XL hammock comes with attached mosquito netting, detachable rain fly, support ropes, and compression sack with set-up instructions on the back, the standard 42" (107cm) long "Tree Hugger" webbing straps are created to protect the bark of the trees you use as a home for that night. This kit also comes with an oversized 36" (91cm) wide open-cell foam pad, a heat-reflecting space blanket and, in this instance, the Snakeskin XXL (not included as standard). The Explorer XL has a maximum height limit of 7ft (213cm) and weight limit of 300lbs (136kg), it measures up at 8" (20cm) diameter x 15"  (38cm) when packed down and weighs 4lb 8oz (2066g) not including the 4oz (112g) webbing straps. When set up the bottom fabric dimensions are 130" x 59" (330cm x 150cm) and the suspending ropes measure up at 120" (305cm) long with the webbing straps reaching 2" x 42" (3.8cm x 107cm). As the name suggests this hammock is suitable for all seasons; it can be adjusted to a wide range of temperature conditions without adding weight or bulk, the oversize open cell foam pad can comfortably take you down to about 40F (4C) by adding the space blanket under the pad can take you below freezing.

The space blanket can be placed above or below the pad depending on the temperature, humidity and what works best for you, whilst extra clothing or towels can be laid on top of the foam pad to add some extra warmth. The patented asymmetrical design lets you lie level on the diagonal with support under your lower back and knees, as the tree spacing is always different, the curve of a hammock is always different. The patented structural ridge line ensures the same shape every time you set up your hammock whilst the double bottom holds the foam insulation pad on the correct diagonal position. There is an included compression stuff sack however we received the Snakeskin XL as well, this works as an instant stuff sack, these allow you to collapse your hammock down in about 30 seconds. With the Snakeskin the hammock never touches the ground, preventing it from getting dirty or wet, it just slots away into the two tapering tubes of Silnylon which sit gathered on the ropes at each end of the hammock for a quick set up and take down. As with all Hennessy Hammocks we found the 4Season Explorer XL is quick and easy to set up, it is super durable and can protect you throughout all weather conditions and provides you with a comfortable, natural and cosy area to sleep, whilst protecting the environment you love around you.
