Kammock Mantis Recycled All-in-One Hammock Tent

What We Think

For campers ready to ditch the ground entirely, the Kammock Mantis Recycled All-in-One Hammock Tent removes the guesswork from hammock camping by bundling everything you need into a single, thoughtfully designed package.

This complete kit scored a 7.9 overall, earning its place as a genuinely beginner-friendly entry point into suspended sleeping without sacrificing the quality that experienced hammock campers expect.

The recycled materials and lifetime warranty signal that Kammok built this for the long haul, not just a single season of curiosity.

User Reviews

Owner feedback for the Mantis is remarkably consistent, and it earned a 9.0 in User Reviews, the highest score in any dimension.

The most common praise centers on the knotless suspension system, with owners repeatedly reporting genuine 60-second setup times, even on their first attempt.

A recurring theme in negative reviews, however, is the included stakes, which owners consistently describe as flimsy and worth replacing immediately.

If you're buying this tent, budget an extra $15 for quality tent stakes and save yourself the frustration.

Ease of Use

The knotless Python straps are the real star here, eliminating the knot-tying learning curve that intimidates many first-time hammock campers.

Owners report that the five-minute setup time Kammok advertises is actually conservative, with most experienced users pitching in under two minutes once they've done it a few times.

The integrated bug net is removable, which means you can strip it down for stargazing on bug-free nights or keep it attached when the mosquitoes are relentless.

This practical versatility earned the Mantis an 8.0 in Ease of Use.

Quality & Durability

At 3.06 pounds trail weight, the Mantis sits in a comfortable middle ground for hammock systems, neither ultralight nor burdensome.

The lifetime warranty backs up Kammok's confidence in their construction, and the recycled materials don't appear to compromise durability based on owner reports.

If you're chasing every ounce, the Kammock Mantis Ultralight shaves nearly a pound at 2.2 pounds for $20 more, though you lose the recycled materials.

The standard Mantis scored an 8.0 in Quality & Durability.

Weather Resistance

The Patagium 15D rainfly uses a 1,500mm PU/Silicone coating with DWR treatment, which is solid protection for three-season conditions.

This is meaningfully better waterproofing than many budget hammock tarps, and it should handle sustained moderate rain without issue.

The Mantis earned an 8.0 in Weather Resistance, though you'll want a dedicated tarp if you regularly camp in genuinely foul weather.

Space & Comfort

Here's the honest limitation: the 10-foot length works well for campers under six feet tall, but taller users consistently report feeling cramped.

If you're 6'2" or above, the Haven Tent Lay Flat Hammock offers a different sleeping position that accommodates longer frames, though at more than double the weight.

The gear wings and interior pockets keep essentials organized and accessible, a thoughtful touch that ground tents rarely match.

The Mantis scored a 7.0 in Space & Comfort.

Value for Money

At $300, you're paying a premium over the Grand Trunk Air Bivy at $200, but you're getting a more refined suspension system and better build quality.

The all-in-one approach eliminates the nickel-and-diming of buying straps, bug net, and tarp separately, which often adds up to more than the Mantis costs anyway.

It scored a 7.5 in Value for Money, fair for what you get but not a screaming deal.

Who It's For

The Mantis is ideal for backpackers curious about hammock camping who want a complete, reliable system without researching and assembling separate components.

It's also a strong choice for car campers who've grown tired of sleeping on roots and rocks.

If you're under six feet tall and camp primarily in three-season conditions, this is a near-perfect fit.

Taller campers or those who need ultralight weight should look elsewhere in Kammok's lineup.

The Bottom Line

The Kammock Mantis Recycled All-in-One Hammock Tent scored a 7.9 and earns our recommendation as the simplest path into hammock camping for most people.

The knotless setup genuinely delivers on its promise, and the lifetime warranty provides real peace of mind.

Just replace those stakes before your first trip, and you'll have a system that should last for years of suspended nights in the trees.
