• The ENO comes with a compression strap and the Hobo does not.
• I don’t like the carabiners that came with my Hobo or ENO hammocks.  I end up using my own locking carabiners.
• Hobo Hammocks includes hanging straps in their purchase price.  The ENO does not – you have to pay extra with ENO.
• The Hobo Hammock is bigger than the ENO.  The ENO is truly a one-person hammock.
• The end of the cord of the Hobo Hammock is finished with a sloppy end.  The end of the ENO cord is neat and crisp.
• The nylon of both hammocks is similar.
• Hobo Hammocks supports their community and I really like that about their company.

Compression Strap

The ENO comes with a compression strap and the Hobo does not.  Because I use my own carabiners (you’ll see in the next point) I have enjoyed the convenience of clipping my biners to the compression strap of my ENO.  And if you are all about packing your gear down to the smallest possible volume, you might enjoy the ENO better than the Hobo.  It is up to you.

Carabiners

I don’t like the carabiners that come with either Hobo or ENO. The carabiners that came with my ENO and Hobo have sharp ends. I don’t like either of them. I end up using my own carabiners. (I have not seen the new wire carabiners that come with ENO hammocks now.) [Read more…] about Hobo Hammock vs Eno Hammock Reviewed Side by Side [Video Post]
