The Chameleon Hammock is a state-of-the-art hammock created by DutchWare to keep you safe and comfortable. In this video, Dutch walks you through how to set up your Chameleon Hammock and bugnet.
At DutchWare, we pride ourselves on creating a hammock that is versatile in any environment. That's why we have multiple options and accessories for you to customize your Chameleon Hammock to your needs. Dutch shows how easy it is to attach a Chameleon-compatible accessory to your hammock, such as a bugnet.
With our attachable nanoweave bugnet, mosquitos and other pesky insects that can ruin a good night's sleep won't have access to your hammock. You can attach it to your hammock in no time using our patented zipper track. Our bugnets are also lightweight to allow for more accessible transportation.
Our Chameleon Hammocks come in a wide variety of styles and colors - you can easily find the perfect one to fit your needs.
One of the many great things about the Chameleon is the adaptability of its components. Instead of buying every accessory today, you can wait until you need a bugnet or top cover and have peace of mind that these additional pieces will be compatible with your hammock. And with our wide selection of colors, your hammock will be uniquely yours.
Another feature of our Chameleon is that you can choose which diagonal lying position you prefer. With our patent-pending zipper, you can move the top cover or bugnet to lie in the diagonal direction of your choosing. If you need more space, you can connect your hammock to another Chameleon Hammock to create a two-person model.
We know our customers' hammock gear needs are constantly evolving. That's why we created the Chameleon Hammock with the future in mind. The hammock's design allows you to easily incorporate any additional Chameleon products - even ones we haven't fully designed yet.
We created every part of the Chameleon to satisfy our customers, making it our most comfortable and versatile hammock. For more information about our selection of Chameleon Hammocks and accessories, visit our website.

I bought a chameleon 3 years ago. Most comfortable thing ever. Can only imagine how great it will be knowing now that it needs to be tied to trees.

I was shocked too. I had been using it as an awkward but silky blanket. Zippers chafed if you didn't fold it right. Kept all the snakes in though.

I’ve been using my chameleon, with beetle buckles, and bug net with side car on my AT thru hike. I’ll be crossing the Vermont border soon and have no complaints.

When you staked out the side of the hammock it looked like you just had one line. Towards the end, I noticed two lines from the hammock to a stake. Is that one line looped out and back, or two lines to one stake? Any reason to do that? Love my chameleon! Still looking for tweaks and mods!

So can the Chameleon double layer be used with a sleeping pad only, without an UQ - or is that just additional insulation? Any limitations, what type of pads fit? What about inflatable ones like the TaR X-Lite? Mummy? Large? rectangle? Thanks!

Yes, you can use it with a camp pad only, but the temp rating must still be sufficient for the conditions. There is a limited amount of warmth from a double layer-not more than 10 degrees F. Most camp pads fit as long as they are not wider than the hammock.

Why did you not include the multitude of four letter words that are generally involved with getting that bug net zipper started? LOL. One thing I always do, too, is take all my other stuff sacks (underquilt, top quilt, strap bag, tarp bag etc) and put them in the hammock’s double ended stuff sack just to keep them all together.

New Chameleon owner! Are my elastic tieouts supposed to attach to the hammock at 2 points along each side or just one point on each side?
@dutch3323

One point on each side. One for the head end and one for the foot end.

@@dutch3323 I asked because my tieouts have the same clip at each end which seem to clip onto a d-ring. So one end will go around a stake and the clip fits back over the elastic for a stake loop, right?

I'd love one of these chameleon hammocks but by the time you add the bug net and double layer it, it's just to exspensive especially if you live outside of the usa, the import taxes and vat just makes it a rich mans hammock, I bought a hennesy and I'm over the moon with it and it's alot cheaper as hennesy has a European online shop, maybe dutchware should do the same as you losing alot of money by not having a European online store, good thing about the hennesy asymmetrical is its alot easier and faster to set up as the bug net is already attached and part of the hammock and double layered at no extra costs

I’ve had a chameleon for over 2 years and not used it once. I want a hands on demo on setting the thing up. Wouldn’t it make sense for hammock manufactures to have demo days where they show off all the innovations they have and the ease of setting up a hammock?
