Why Choose The Chameleon Wide Hammock?

The Chameleon is a full-featured hammock designed from the ground up. Each of the components that go into the Chameleon have been developed by Dutchware to create a versatile and modular lightweight hammock that adapts to its environment. Because you can remove and change out components, the Chameleon will be the only hammock you will ever need.

The Chameleon adapts to your needs and is the only hammock you need for every situation. The specially-designed zipper allows you to remove the bug net to go without or replace it with a vented top cover. With the vented top cover, you can take your Chameleon into colder temperatures because it creates a micro-climate yet still vents out the moisture produced by your breath. With many hammocks on the market today, you have to buy all the components with your original purchase. One of the beauties of the Chameleon is that it is very modular and you can purchase components at a later date. Buy the hammock body today, when the bugs come out, buy the bugnet; when winter hits, buy the top cover. If you have the bugnet and top cover already and your loved one wants to come with you on a hike, all you have to do is buy another body and one person can use the top cover and another can use the bug net. If you liked the Dallas Cowboys last year and have a blue top cover and this year they are on a losing streak you can just get a black one and be a Raiders fan. Additionally, we have many auxiliary components that you can buy to expand your hammock. From peak shelves to bottle holders, you will be able to bling out your hammock to make it individually yours. Once the Kickstarter is completed, our business model is to stock every item so you can purchase them and have them shipped out immediately. No more waiting for a month or two to get your hammock or component. So no matter which direction you sleep in, no matter what the temperature is outside, no matter how many bugs are outside, whether you are alone or with a friend, you will have the perfect hammock every time.

When you sleep in a hammock, you want to position yourself diagonally so you get a flatter lay. With the patent pending zipper, you can flip over the top cover or bugnet so you can lay in a different diagonal direction. This is not only important to give you the freedom to lay in the direction you desire, but the Chameleon will also enable you to match up with another Chameleon hammock to essentially create a two person hammock that uses the same trees and tarp.

If you’re going out hiking or just using the Chameleon to lounge in the back yard, beach, or the park, the bugnet or top cover is completely removable. This means you don’t have to carry any more weight than you need for any given adventure.

When there are bugs, the Chameleon has you covered. With our special nano weave bugnet, even the smallest biting, stinging, disease-carrying parasite will be kept safely away. The zip-on bugnet is everything you desire. Light, durable, and with great visibility, our detachable bugnet keeps you from being eaten alive.

Don’t let a dropping thermometer keep you from enjoying the great outdoors. Our vented top cover will go in place of the bugnet on the same zipper track. The fabric is our proprietorially-designed ARGON 90. It is breathable yet wind resistant. It will help keep your body heat in, creating a micro-climate inside your cocoon of warmth. The vent is designed to not only allow the moisture of your breath to exhaust, but also to give you a window into the world.

We put a lot of thought and effort into the functionality of the Chameleon. The modular design of this hammock allows you to add additional products, some of which we haven’t even fully designed yet. The Chameleon is 11 feet long as the standard model and you don’t have to pay extra and it isn’t an upgrade. There is no such thing as too much of a good thing when it is this good. This will give you more room and a larger sweet spot for a flatter lay. Those who know hammocks, know size matters.

The Chameleon comes with a unique tie out system. The secret to getting a good flat lay in a hammock is to lie diagonally. There are adjustable tie outs at your head and feet to give you the required symmetrical shape for a comfortable sleeping position. There are two on each side that are adjustable from inside the hammock providing more tension to keep the bugnet off of your face. Also, these tie outs are movable so that when you want to change the direction, you simply unsnap them from the D-rings and move them to the other set.

The Patent Pending vision zipper is a toothed, rather than coiled, zipper for ease of use and strength. The vision zipper is the key to this hammock and why the Chameleon outperforms every other hammock on the market today. Our zipper is the first one of its kind and starts with a toothed zipper such as you will find on high-end jackets versus a weaker coil zipper. There are two zipper pulls that can be positioned at any place for easy access. The zippers are opposing so they open in between and most importantly you don’t have to reach to the top of the hammock to open it. Furthermore, the vision zipper can be flipped over and reversed, this enables you to flip the top cover or bugnet over or around so you can lay in any direction. We made each Chameleon with two of these specialized zippers so you can enter/exit the hammock from both sides and you can reach out to adjust your underquilt easily from inside the hammock. Lastly, since the zippers are separating, you can go with any top to save weight, add a top cover or bugnet in the same zipper track and only have to carry what is needed on your adventure. This is how your Chameleon changes to your environment.

    This is the one I've been searching for...

    scotthainstocks (verified owner)

    The Chameleon Wide 1.6 Hexon is my 5th gathered end hammock (first from Dutch), and the one I’ve been searching for. I just returned from it’s maiden trip, a 3 day/3 night SUP camping trip into the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage in North Central Wisconsin, and it performed flawlessly. I couldn’t be happier. Setup was a breeze, sleep was beyond comfortable, but my favorite part of all was waking up in the morning and watching the mosquitos trying, and failing, to get at me thru the bugnet. This was also the first time in the woods that I’ve I slept thru the night without waking up once to adjust something. I really couldn’t ask for more. The cherry on top was that Dutch put a little rush on it so that I’d have it in time for this trip, despite the Covid challenges. I’m so grateful that I just placed another order for some bling. Thank you again, Dutch!

      The second layer is used for the following:
      1. to insert a pad or closed cell mat
      2. weight reinforcement
      3. additional bug protection
      The fabrics feel different, the hexon 1.6 will have a more cotton like feel and the nylon will be silkier

    kellyjb2

    Can you advise if there is some advantage to “symmetrical” top cover as opposed to “asymmetrical”? I usually lie asymmetrically…so I would assume that is the best choice. However, the cost difference makes me question whether there is some advantage to a “symmetrical” top cover or bug net.

    Best Backpacking Decision Ever!

    Jeremy Webb (verified owner)

    I have been sleeping in a Hennesy Ultralight Explorer for the last 3 years. I was getting some calf ridge so I decided it was time to try another hammock.

    I watched a video on YouTube that compared the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC with the Dream Hammock and the Chameleon. They said the Dream Hammock was actually the most comfortable but the Chameleon was close but had better features. They also said that the Dream was wider and they thought that might be where the comfort difference was so I went ahead and tried the Chameleon wide and I absolutely love it!

    There is a bit of calf ridge if you lay wrong or don’t stretch the fabric with your foot but I would guess that would happen with any hammock and there is a large and easy to find sweet spot that is amazingly comfortable. I am almost as comfortable as I am in my nice pillowtop bed (and maybe even more-so now that I think about it). I have been out 5 nights in the last 3 weeks and the more I get used to it, the more I enjoy it.

    I am a side sleeper and I turn over several times during the night. With this hammock, I can find comfortable spots on either side. I normally lay on the same diagonal all night but I got the symmetrical version and that allows me to switch directions if I want to change up my view or position if I want to lounge for a bit at the campsite.

    I believe I got the Hexon 1.6 and it has a little bit of stretch but not too much. The feel is light and airy.

    For suspension, I would highly recommend one of the tree strap options with a becket hitch. I tried homemade woopies and I found them to be too much of a hassle. A piece of webbing with a loop at one end is simple, fast, easy, and lightweight. Dutch clips or something similar are a nice addition but it’s not that much hassle to thread your strap back through the loop either. Dutch’s beetle buckles are also nice but not necessary and I did find a little bit of slippage unless I tied a half hitch to hold them in place. That could have been my hang or maybe just the new material as I have read that some suspensions slip when they are new.

    The double-sided stuff sack is another must-have and it comes with the hammock already.

    I didn’t get the sidecar but I did add a pocket and mini-hammock (I forget what you call them) to the ridgeline for storage and both are quite handy.

    On a 45 degree night, the top cover upped the temperature inside by about 10 degrees.

    I also love the included clips for the underquilt. They keep things nice and tight and help reduce chills and cold spots.

    Plus on top of all of that you will get some cool points from your fellow backpackers.

    Long story short, I enjoyed the Hennesy but this was a HUGE upgrade and a great decision.

    Happy hiking!

    Chameleon Wide, double layer, bugnet, moonlight top cover, side sling

    kenchristineowens (verified owner)

    Well-made, thoughtfully designed.

    Top cover, bugnet, and side sling are easy to attach and change out. Top cover adds significant warmth. Bugnet actually keeps out the bugs (very high psi), while not being scratchy (it’s actually pretty soft, yet durable)! I sleep cold, so I added a small, slippery blanket between the two layers for warmth. The blanket did not slip much between the layers. Side sling is so large it is almost like having a storage hammock. I filled it with heavier items (shoes, clothing, binder) and it did pull on that side of the hammock, as expected, but was never unstable or at risk of flipping.

    Great quality zippers (caught a bit of bugnet once but it did not get shredded by the zipper) and fabrics. Straightforward setup (I use a Tensa4 stand but would be the same for trees). I sleep so well (side and back sleeper) in the Chameleon that I will never, ever go back to the ground.

    I am short (under 5’4″) and really don’t need the wide, but ordered it so other family members can use the hammock.

    Excellent job Dutchware!!!

    FYI: Paid full price, not related in any way to the company. Consider myself a newbie.

    Chameleon Wide Hammock review

    pandlstreet (verified owner)

    I recently purchased a CHAMELON WIDE HAMMOCK set with bugnet, top cover, and beetle buckle suspension. I ordered the two layer option to be able to put a pad underneath if I wanted and to have some extra strength in the hammock to support my larger size. My order came in about a week.

    All the material and construction are well made. Once I set everything up, I discovered I had a zipper issue with the top cover . I contacted Dutchware and a replacement top cover was immediately sent which worked correctly.

    I’m new to hammock camping and this hammock system is easy to setup and use. Very versatile with all of the options available. Looking forward to getting out soon to use it in the woods.

    I’m providing this review as a satisfied and happy customer. Definitely recommend Dutchware products. Thanks Dutch for a great product and excellent customer service.

    Review of CHAMELEON Wide

    Bob Crouch (verified owner)

    For starters I am new to hammocks but not hiking or camping… While I have used other hammocks on past trips I was looking for something that could be more adaptable over the seasons and lighten my base weight. I looked at more than just a few hammocks and decided on the CHAMELEON.

    I really can’t say enough about Dutch and his crew… They took time to answer all of my questions and handled my custom order with patience and good cheer. They made my top cover from fabric that was purchased from a third party vendor (Ripstop by the Roll) and were able to make the hammock in my desired color – which was out of stock at the time of order. They remembered and took time to ask if I wanted to change back when they were able to get the fabric in. They also reached out to ensure the top cover (while reversible) was oriented and sewn in my desired lay since one side of the fabric was brighter than the other.

    When the hammock arrived – which came much faster than expected – the craftsmanship was incredible. I couldn’t be happier.

    I immediately took my CHAMELEON on a 2 night Boy Scout camping trip at Medoc Mountain State Park, where I spent two frigid nights (temps hit 0 both nights) in comfort thanks to a comfortable lay, the top cover and of course the under quilt. I was amazed at the difference the top cover made… No condensation/freezing on the inside of the top cover thanks to the vent and it retained a little heat. AWESOME.

    When the weather warms up, I will try out to the bug net… pretty sure it will prove to be just as nice as the top cover.

    As the other reviewer posted — For the record, I paid full price for my order, and am not sponsored by DWG. I am simply a very happy customer!

    Chameleon Wide Review

    David Shoemaker (verified owner)

    There are so many good hammocks on the market, that it is sometimes hard to choose “good, better, best”. I have used and enjoyed a couple other Manufacturers, which I wouldn’t say there was anything “wrong” with them… but then there is the CHAMELEON.

    I am planning on using this for a Thru-Hike of the Appalachian Trail, and so you can consider this from that perspective. I will be leaving early in the season, so having a “Winter” cover is a necessity. The design of the Chameleon works very well for this, with a Winter top cover, that is vented, so I am getting little condensation in the hammock, but have a slight +heat value. HUGE.

    Once the weather warms up, I will be changing out to the Bug net, but I am in no rush. the Winter cover adds very little weight, and less weight makes for a happy hiker. Also, on the note of changing seasons and adaptability, I ordered a 2 layer body(accepting the weight penalty) as I can more comfortably use a pad, and if I should have to go to ground, can use the pad(Great Smokies)

    The hammock came much faster than expected, as you can custom order a color pattern that you prefer. Meaning these are made to order. Once receiving the hammock, I was immediately impressed by the quality and the usefulness of each part(Dutch knows his stuff) And the comfort(first gathered end hammock) was surprisingly good, once I got the right pitch/hang.

    Other considerations for AT hikers, ignore if this does not apply to you, is that DutchWare is located almost exactly half-way on the AT, and their customer support was awesome. If anything should come up on the trail, it is nice to know you have a good team to help when needed. Dutch is a Thru-hiker himself!

    For the record, I paid full price on my order, and am not sponsored by DWG. I am just a happy customer.

    The only thing I would change, is that there is no “storage” but some items can be ordered for an additional cost, and could probably be incorporated into the hammock design, or included.

      Body layer 2 is a full second sewn on layer that will be an option for those wanting a two tone hammock, utilize a mat and would like to place it in between the layers, or would like an extra layer of bug protection. It will also increase the weight limit on the hammock.

    Chameleon Wide --- Got it today and love it

    George Kelly (verified owner)

    I ordered the Chameleon Wide in a Double Layer with Whoopie Hooks last week and it was on my door step this afternoon. I was not surprised at the craftsmanship and quality of this hammock. It was professional sewn and the feel is amazing. The ability to order accessories at a later date and knowing they will fit is great. I can’t wait to get this thing out in the wood. Thanks Dutch. Awesome product. Cheers, George

    For the Chameleon body layer two, is this just an outer color option? or would it be double layer so that I could fit a sleeping pad in between the two layers?

      It is a second layer and we leave a about a 30″ opening that you will easily be able to fit your pad in. The double layer will also increase weight limit and it will vary depending on what fabrics you choose.

    Chameleon Wide Review

    kdrerik (verified owner)

    I just got a Chameleon Wide last week and was able to get out in the woods this past weekend for a trial. I have had a WBBB for years and have enjoyed that hammock a lot. I needed (ok wanted) another hammock with a bug net option for when my son and I both want to hang. I was thinking about a WBBB XLC since they recently changed their zipper system. I was not a fan of the single zipper around the whole hammock. I stumbled upon the Chameleon and was intrigued. This was Sunday 2/11 at about 10:30pm. I had a Boy Scout trip scheduled for the 16th, so on a whim I emailed Dutchware to see if it would be possible to get a hammock to Virginia by Friday. Within 15 minutes, I had a reply from Dutch himself! I was blown away! I went ahead and ordered. They received and shipped my order on Monday and my new hammock arrived on Wednesday! I can’t rave enough about the customer service from Dutch and his team.

    This would just be a happy customer service review if it weren’t an awesome product. Believe me. It delivers. I’m not sure if it’s the fabric, the length, the width, or all of the above, but it was the most comfortable lay I’ve had. I used the winter top cover and I stayed comfy down to about 36 degrees. It paired nicely with my JRB Mt. Washington 3 underquilt. The only thing I missed from my WBBB was the storage inside the hammock. I plan to look into the peak bag and/or the side car for something to fill the void of not having the shelf. I am very happy with this purchase and can’t wait to get out and use it again. Thanks again to Dutch and his team for an incredible customer service experience.

    Is the second layer of the Chameleon suitable for putting a quilt (Costco down throw for example) to use as an underquilt?

      You would not want to put a quilt in between the layers as it will compress the quilt and it will not generate heat properly. It is suitable for a closed cell mat however. I would recommend putting the quilt on the outside of your hammock.

      The moonlight cover will have the option to close the vented part in where the vented top cover will always be vented.

    shankle686

    So, what’s the differences between the 1.6 and 1.7 material?

    I see both have the same weight capacity.

    Is one lighter than the other?

    Is one thicker than the other?

    Thanks…

      The 1.6 is Hexon and the 1.7 is NylonD so they are different fabrics that will have a different feel. The NylonD will have a silkier feel to the touch and the Hexon will be a little more cotton like. The NylonD will also have a little more stretch or give to it than the Hexon will.

    A little piece of heaven

    Luke Miney (verified owner)

    So like most I been through a number of hammocks different styles and different brands before landing here. I bought one of Dutch’s Chameleon Wide hammocks and I haven’t used another since. For the last 3 years it’s been my go to and it will be for many more to come. Since purchasing this I’ve also bought the mesh bug net cover and the solid top cover which really adds to the warmth in cold weather, my most recent trip I made the addition of a sidecar attachment for storing my top quilt out of the way while I don’t need it huge improvement on simple convenience there. Currently waiting on my zip on 20° under quilt to complete my set-up which I’m not bothered one bit to say DutchWare has literally replaced my entire camping set-up from the hammock to the rainfly and the suspension system and they dropped my base weight by nearly 1.6 lbs while boosting my comfort level 1000x fold ….huge thanks to the innovations this crew brings to the market they’ve surely helped to keep me active and out enjoying what I love the most can’t wait for the GA-ME to begin in 2025.

    Ps. The Anaconda is a must have ! Makes set-up and tear-down a breeze.
