SIMPLE

Many tent and hammock systems are too complicated. Through relentless innovation and testing we remove all the guesswork to make setting up super quick and easy!

COZY

Silky soft yet strong high-tech fabrics, and down-insulated baffle designs will keep you toasty on cold nights. Our hammocks are designed for maximum comfort and great diagonal lay.

LIGHT

Superior Gear was created for serious backpacking without sacrificing comfort. Using ultralight materials, optimized designs and a modular approach, we’ll lighten the pack for all your adventures!

Cure for the common cold butt

 “Cold Butt Syndrome” happens when you lay in a hammock with only a sleeping bag. Even a very warm sleeping bag gets crushed under your back, shoulders, legs and butt, making it impossible to stay warm. Pads are one option, but they slide around, add bulk, and don’t usually keep shoulders warm. And who wants to inflate those after a long day on the trail? Under quilts are another option, but most add setup complexity, tend to slide off and may result in cold drafts. 

So what is the perfect solution for Cold Butt Syndrome?

The Superior Hammock

Introducing the Superior Hammock! With integrated down insulation providing cozy warmth down to 30F and weighing just 34 oz for the standard model, or a jaw-dropping 24 oz for the Elite version, the Superior will lighten your load and pack smaller than most sleeping bags. Paired with our patented Superior Suspension System, setting up is lightning fast! The Superior is designed for an excellent diagonal lay to avoid bent knees. And it has several unique options like snaps along the side for closing it up on an extra cold night or snapping on our comforter, and a built-in adjustable ridgeline to store gear and dial in the perfect hang every time!

It just looks cozy! You know you want to get in.

A Complete Modular System

We started out by designing the best sleeping hammock ever. But then we also created the rest of a super simple, lightweight, backpacking hammock setup that is modular enough to mix and match any way you like. But also a system that works incredibly well together.

Currently hiking the Appalachian Trail, this hammock is my prized possession. It’s kept me warm when the nights are cold and damp, now that the heat is here I’m still sleeping comfortably. Being able to roll into camp late, tired and beat, throw my hammock up and climb in without fussing with a net or underquilt is an absolute godsend, and the thing packs down smaller than I could have thought to hope for. I’ve gotten so many questions about it from other thru hikers, and I recommend it to everyone. Best purchase I made pre-trail, bar none.

"The [Superior] hammock is fantastic! I took it on a 6 day backpacking trip through the high Sierra where it was getting into the mid-20's at night and it was warm and cozy! I was with two friends who shared a tent...needless to say, I slept really well and they did not! They were intrigued by the hammock and were very jealous that I was floating on a bed of down while they had to sleep on the rocks."

Just got back from my first weekend outing with my brand new Toasty Bundle after a couple of months waiting with child like anticipation. Wow! My family and I are hammock campers and we were blown away at the comfort and convenience of this hammock bundle. The superior craftsmanship and distinctive look of the design was the talk of the camp. I highly recommend this bundle.

" That was the best night of sleep I've had in a hammock! It was pretty sweet compared to my other non-superior rig with a removable under quilt, with that one it seems I'm constantly adjusting it to keep my feet and one of my hips warm as I shift through the night. The Superior built-in insulated under quilt is the way to go!! And your materials are stinking comfy!"

Fantastic. This is my first hammock experience. I thru hiked the AT and JMT with a tent set up and never slept well the entire time. I started hearing good things about hammocks and felt I needed to make a switch. After a ton of research I decided in Superior gear. I love the idea of buying from small local manufacturers and their integrated under quilt and all in one package sealed the deal for me. Building the hammock takes a long time so make sure you order well in advance if you are planning on using this hammock for an up coming trip. Customer service is TOP NOTCH too.

This has been by far the best hammock that I have ever owned. That’s saying a lot considering I’ve been sleeping outside in a Hamic for 20+ years and I’ve tried about everything. I’d recommend it all day long
