Packing light is important when backpacking, hiking, or camping with food and shelter the basic essentials. Those who prefer hammocks over tents can benefit from the Haven Spectre by Haven Tents.
It’s the “ultimate solution for campers who need to travel light without compromising comfort.” It’s like sleeping in the comfort of your own bed at home. It offers the experience of sleeping in a hammock but with the support of a mattress. So you can toss and turn, sleep on your back or sides and feel well rested in the morning.
Haven Spectre is based on Haven Tents’ in-house lay-flat design. Its patented system creates a flat sleeping area unlike conventional hammocks that fold your body like a banana. It’s also ultralightweight thanks to its use of Dyneema fabric and MONOLITE mesh.
It offers lightweight strength and durability to handle a remarkable weight up to 285 lbs (130 kg) for a hammock that weighs just under 2 kgs (4.5 lbs). It’s also compact when packed at 15″ x 6″ x 6″ so it is backpack-friendly.
Moreover, Haven Spectre is user-friendly. Setup is a breeze (just hang it by the trees) and in the absence of trees, it comes with a Bivy Mode so it hangs from a pair of trekking poles. It’s also designed to protect you from the elements with a translucent mesh netting as protection from insects while also offering ventilation and 360-degree view of your surroundings.
It also comes with a detachable rainfly that doubles as a privacy shield. It’s engineered with thoughtful attention to water runoff patterns to ensure you stry dry even in a downpour. Conveniently, Haven Spectre has built-in storage options for your gear including internal mesh pockets, a gear sling, and a ridgeline to hold a backpack.
