I have a suggestion for your Warbonnet spreader bar "spikes".... get some cheap rubber balls and jam them right on the spikes so they are less likely to harm the tarp. I don't own a Warbonnet, but the thought occurred to me as I watched your video.

Great review. I have used ENO bridge for a while and found it's reliable and sturdy. Recently i switched to the Haven bridge hammock/tent combo. It's really versatile and i am pleased with its performance so far.

Great review Mark. I'm also from the West Michigan area. Most my videos are about canoeing, biking and day hikes. I'm considering the purchase of the ENO Skylite for bike packing and canoe camping. I have an Amok but I'm always afraid I will damage the air mattress and render the hammock useless. It appears the Skylite might be a contender for comfort (flat sleeper). Anyway, thanks for a good honest review.

You bet! I still use the Skylite. It is my go-to hammock in colder weather (because I have an underquilt for cold temperatures that fit this hammock). I have also used in on the ground as a bivy tent when no good trees were available. I set up my trekking poles to hold up my tarp and hammock net. It worked great, although a sleeping pad would have been nice...LOL. CheerS 1

So I received my skylight from Amazon. I’m literally shocked.. for all the hate eno seems to receive on hammock forums, this thing is a winner. In my opinion it’s much more versatile than the ridgerunner in terms of available sleeping positions. The only bummer is you can’t really sit in and lounge because of the net. You can with the ridgerunner. I’m disappointed I didn’t try this sooner! Thanks again for your review.

About available sleeping positions: Could you please give more details about that? I’m a side sleeper and found out that I can’t sleep well in my Dutch Banyan (which is pretty similar from the geometry to the Warbonnet Ridgerunner). On the side, I’m usually angle my upper leg to 90 degree - in the banyan that is not possible, in that area the hammock is very tight and I can only angle both legs for maximum 30 degrees, which it doesn’t satisfy me, I can not lay stable like that. Has the Eno Skylite more room in the middle, so you can angle easier the upper leg? For me, the Skylite seems to have more depth compared to Ridgerunner and Banyan, so it could offer more space in the middle area. Is that correct? Thank you for your help in advance!

Great review of the differences. I wish you had included links to the two, but beggars can't be choosers. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the video. Have you tried using a standard UL underquilt with this hammock? I am comparing hammocks to upgrade mine but I just invested in an Outdoor Vitals underquilt. I have found no videos of people using underquilts at all with this hammock, nevermind a standard one.

Walmart sells no name brand hammocks only. Eno products are sold in REI and EMS and every other outdoor rec store and that’s what they’ve always been for 20+ years I’ve been using their products. They’ve been the most well known hiking hammock brand in all of the time. They’re the reason the hiking style hammock world is so big right now. Eno branched out also into more consumer gear in the last seven or so years but they’ve also had hardcore outfitter type gear.

Thanks for doing this review. I’m mulling over both these hammocks after having so much difficulty at getting a flat lay in the diagonal on other hammocks (11 and 12 footers). I’m 6’5” 180 lbs. Even though I have an underquilt that might fit either hammock (Onewind synthetic which is a bit bulky it works) I like the idea that the Warbonnet has a sleeve for a pad if you opt for a double layer which I think even though it adds weight is a nice option which the Eno doesn’t offer. Also from what I saw on another review one may be able with a caribiner be able to use ones own suspension. The Eno suspension looks great but it’s another suspension one has to buy. My question though is actually also with the different width of the spreader bars being that the war bonnet spreader bar is wider does that make for less shoulder squeeze? thanks

I did not feel any shoulder pressure difference. I will measure the spreader bar today to see if there is a difference and post the reply later today.

Thanks! I still use them both and they have held up great.

It is interesting how certain products/brands kind of get 'pigeon holed' if that is the proper term. My kids both hammock camp (I hammock nap) but most all of our hammock gear is either ENO or Kammok. You can't go to a Festival or event around here that there won't be ENOs hanging around all over the place. ENO is based out of Asheville, on the South Slope, surrounded by breweries (FYI/LOL). The kids (all kids, not just my kids) even refer to hammocking as ENOing. At my daughters campus, they go ENOing all the time as she has the luxury of having 30 miles of trails in and around her campus. She just got home from school and we were discussing this just last night. Much appreciated !

I haven't tried a bridge hammock (yet) I've seen others express your concerns about the spreader bars poking holes in your tarps. I've heard and seen videos of 3d printed end caps to go over the spreader bar points to protect your tarp.

I have heard of people putting a cap of some sort on them too. It really would be easy to do something for sure, but then one more item to bring. That being said, I have been very diligent in setting my tarp up in a way that highly mitigates that from happening. I love my warbonnet bridge...it is IMO the Cadillac of hammocks, but the ENO is cheaper and certainly has some big wins IMO. Check my description as there is a sale on it at Moosejaw. Cheers Doc! 🤙🍻

A friend let me borrow his ENO. When I put a pad in the ENO it took up a noticeable amount of room between me and the net. How does the Ridgerunner compare in that aspect?

Great video man! I love my warbonnet and Townsend hammocks but just picked up one of these on Amazon for $118. I’m hopeful that when wanting to use it when no bug net is needed you could simply flip it over. Any insight on if you see any reason why that may or may not work?

You can completely solve the Warbonnet spreader bar issue by getting plastic balls drilled out halfway through, and putting some sticky substance on the inside. Stick it over the spreader bar tips and remove before unpacking.
