Funded through Kickstarter, the Alpine Hammock™ is a fast and light, weatherproof, one-man shelter that can be used in any alpine environment.

After 30 days on Kickstarter we successfully raised $42,915 from 362 amazing backers. Currently we’re focusing on the details of starting our business as well as fulfilling our Kickstarter Rewards. Perorders of the Alpine Hammock™ will be live in December. Thanks again to everyone who supported us!

The Alpine Hammock™ is a weatherproof one-man shelter that can be used both as a traditional hammock as well as a traditional bivy. This clever design is the brainchild of two young engineering grads from Tufts University, Mike Brown and Ryan Stolp, who decided that there had to be a better solution for fast and light traveling in the mountains. “We had both hiked and climbed with hammocks, bivy sacks, and one-man tents but were dissatisfied with the tradeoffs we had to make between the available options on the market,” says Brown. So after several rounds of prototypes using bed sheets from the Salvation Army, they’ve created functional prototypes out of waterproof materials and have tested them in both the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
