EXPRESS BAG: What it’s for – and how to use itUpdated 3 months ago
EXPRESS BAG – quick overview
Summary
The EXPRESS BAG is more than a stuff sack. It helps you set up and pack down faster, keeps your gear organized, and can even double as a small pillow/neck support.
1) Fast set-up (without dropping your hammock on the ground)
You can clip the EXPRESS BAG (with the hammock inside) directly onto your strap/rope (e.g., using a carabiner or hook).
Then unzip the bag, pull the hammock out, and attach the other end.
Benefit: your hammock stays clean and easy to handle—great for quick breaks or when you change spots often.
2) Fast pack-down (without unhooking everything)
The EXPRESS BAG also makes packing up easier:
– unclip the hammock on the EXPRESS BAG side (keep the other side attached)
– stuff the hammock into the EXPRESS BAG section by section
– keep the other end attached until the very end to keep everything off the ground
– finally unclip the last end, zip it up—done
This keeps your hammock cleaner and makes pack-down feel much more controlled.
3) Keep your attachment kit in one place
Carabiners, straps, rope, and small parts are easiest to use when they’re always stored together. The EXPRESS BAG works as a compact organizer for your attachment kit.
– everything in one place
– quick access during set-up
– ideal for travel, vanlife, and everyday use
4) Small pillow / neck support
The EXPRESS BAG can also add a bit of comfort:
In your hammock
– remove the bag
– put a soft item inside (e.g., a T-shirt or hoodie)
– use it as a small pillow
On the go or at home
– use the hammock as a light neck support (plane, train, couch)
