🚨 NEW PRODUCT DROP 🚨
Alright folks…
After years of R&D, field testing, and pushing the limits of ultralight design, I’m proud to finally introduce something the hammock world has been waiting for…
👉 The DWG Ultralight “Face Tarp” 👈
You asked for lighter. You asked for smaller. You asked, “Do I really need to stay fully dry?”
We listened.
This bad boy is engineered to protect the most important part of your body, your head. It cut your base weight down to numbers that honestly don’t make sense…
✔ Fully suspended weight: -28 grams
✔ Aerodynamically optimized for “face-first storms”
✔ Packs down to… well… nowhere (you’ll probably lose it)
✔ Compatible with all known hammock systems (and most questionable ones)
We achieved negative weight by removing everything unnecessary… including most of the tarp.
Some say it’s minimal.
We say it’s next level.
😄 Alright… April Fools.
But what’s not a joke is what we stand for top-tier gear, real innovation, and taking care of our community.
If you’re gearing up for your next trip and want equipment you can actually count on, we’ve got you covered.
👉 Check us out or reach out anytime, we’re always here to help you get dialed in.

No gaps. No drafts. No excuses.
Our Quilted Hammocks are the gold standard for integrated warmth. Why settle for a separate underquilt that shifts in the night when you can have a perfectly dialed-in system?
When the weather turns and you’re stuck under your tarp, every inch of space counts. The Hammock Hangers are a simple, lightweight solution designed to pull your hammock out of the way, giving you more room to cook, organize gear, or just relax without your hammock occupying the center of your shelter.
The Ultralight Hellbender is here! This quilted hammock uses 1000FP down and our ARGON 67 fabric for the quilt shell to make this a true ultralight setup.
A streamlined hammock designed for ultimate comfort and minimal weight, getting you out on the trail faster and sleeping sounder.

The makings of DutchWare began in 2003, when our founder, Thom Ressler, also known by his trail name Dutch, thru-hiked the entire 2,200-miles of the Appalachian Trail with a hammock. During his journey, Dutch learned to take a minimalist approach to hiking gear and life in general.
Most commercial vendors, however, didn’t offer hiking gear that shared Dutch’s passion for stripping away anything that wasn’t needed. In response, Dutch started making his own gear. He created hammocks, backpacks, quilts and hardware for the hammock community.
Creating hardware for hammocks was where Dutch found his passion. He began manufacturing the Dutch Clip, which he invented to connect the webbing suspension around the tree. Next was the Dutch Biner, a 10-gram carabiner that connects the whoopie sling, a light and adjustable suspension, to a steel loop, followed by the Dutch Flyz, a no-knot, quick-connection device for hammock tarps.
Dutch’s most recent hammock creation is the full-featured DutchWare Chameleon Hammock, which is a versatile and modular lightweight hammock that adjusts to any location, regardless of where you find yourself.
The Chameleon Hammock’s production and development was supported through Kickstarter by more than 730 backers. The project raised more than $190,000, handily exceeding its original $22,500 goal. The increased funds allowed DutchWare to create accessories and a hex tarp for the hammock, as well as a wide-body version of the Chameleon Hammock.
