Why Choose The Chameleon Hammock?

Every detail of the Chameleon is designed intentionally. It is a full-featured, 11-foot long hammock, and it comes in a variety of subtle colors — no surprises there. But its namesake goes further than looks. Dutchware has developed the Chameleon to be both versatile and lightweight, able to adapt to its environment on the fly. Simply change out or remove components for the only hammock you’ll ever need.

As multi-faceted as its name suggests, the Chameleon is the ultimate hammock for hikers looking to be prepared in any circumstance. As a hammock with a bugnet and hammock suspension, it can adjust to different elevations and terrains. It can also handle all that nature can throw at it. Even insects in the middle of summer won’t be a match for this bugnet hammock.

Get ready to take your backpacking expeditions to the next level with a truly flexible hiking hammock. Highly functional, lightweight and equipped to handle cold temperatures, the Chameleon will give you the chance to vanish into nature for the weekend!

The Chameleon is a full-featured 11 foot long hammock designed from the ground up. Each of the components that go into the Chameleon have been developed by us to create a versatile and modular light weight 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 nanoweave 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.

    Quilted Chameleon less bulk

    agdrucker (verified owner)

    Prior to purchasing a 20 degree quilted chameleon, I was always frustrated with the bulk of packing an underquilt and sleeping bag/top quilt. I loved the comfort, but hated the extra weight and bulk.

    I had the opportunity to use my quilted chameleon on a 2 day backpacking trip with family, and was instantly pleased with how small it packs up in the Dutchware compression sack. The reduced weight and bulk made packing a breeze, as well as keeping the weight down.

    Set up was as easy as always with the Chameleon system, and I was warm and comfortable all night as expected.

    Quick to set up and put away

    Simon Stone

    I used my 20 degree quilted chameleon on a recent 9 day cycle touring trip in France. Temperatures ranged from 50 to 77 F at night. I was a little concerned that I would be too hot at night but it was fine. In the mornings I was able to pack up as fast as my cycling companion who was tent camping. On previous trips it always took me quite a bit longer but the Anaconda combined with the QC, made it a breeze.

    I have been using the quilted hammock and spreader bar bug net for a few months now.
    I knew I was going to leave a review but wanted to give the hammock an opportunity to prove itself.
    If you are one of those people who skips to the end of reviews to find the ‘cons’, sorry to disappoint you but there aren’t any.
    I don’t really like having to use bug nets but the spreader bar bug net is as close to perfection as it’s possible to get. The spreader bar gives structure and volume, eliminating fabric flap and keeping the net well away from your face. It also means that there is no need to use those annoying pull outs. The ridge line is still completely accessible and the net can be unzipped from either side using the glo-in-the dark zip-pulls.

    It is autumn here in England; midge and mosquito season is over. For us foragers the forest floor is a feast of fungi, the leaves have turned and the trees look like a muted fireworks display. I spent Saturday night hammocking as it’s supposed to be – no bug net and feeling as close to nature as is possible.
    Luxuriating in the hammock yesterday morning drinking a cup of coffee and watching a robin hopping around next to me I knew I was in my perfect place.

    I was expecting great things from the quilted hammock. But it has massively exceeded my expectations in both materials and design. I opted for the 20 degree version and it feels much warmer that a similarly rated ‘traditional’ underquilt. I wonder if that is because it is impossible to get an underquilt to stay in exactly the right place and not allow some airflow between hammock and quilt.
    An unexpected benefit with the quilted hammock is that after set up the hammock body is held slightly open which makes arranging the top quilt easier.

    A special thank you to Melissa and Vicki who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help me navigate the almost unfathomable British custom and tax system.
