Gold Armour Camping Hammock XL Double Review (2027)
In-depth review of the Gold Armour Camping Hammock XL Double: a 125 x 79 in budget double with straps in the box, judged on width, hardware, and overnight manners.
Gold Armour Camping Hammock XL Double, Seafoam
An extra wide double with straps and steel carabiners in the box.
Our verdict
The Gold Armour XL Double wins on one honest metric: width. At 125 x 79 in it is the broadest body in this topic, and two loungers fit without the shoulder negotiation narrower doubles demand. Straps and steel carabiners in the box make it a true first hang kit. It is a lounger first and an overnighter second, with no net and hardware heavier than it needs to be, but as a wide, complete, budget double it does exactly what it promises.
What we like
- 125 x 79 in XL body is the widest double in this lineup
- Tree straps and steel carabiners included, so it hangs out of the box
- 500 lb capacity covers two loungers with margin
- 210T parachute nylon packs down to 12 x 6 x 6 in
What to watch out for
- No bug net included, so mosquito season needs a separate net
- Steel carabiners add weight next to aluminum hardware
- Very wide fabric bunches at the edges until the lay is learned
What owners report: Gold Armour Camping Hammock XL Double, Seafoam
Synthesized from recurring themes in long-term owner feedback.
Most praised
- The extra width is the first thing owners mention: two loungers genuinely fit side by side
- Straps in the box mean the first hang happens the day the hammock arrives
- The parachute nylon and stitching hold up through seasons of backyard and beach use
Common complaints
- The steel carabiners feel heavy and clunky beside aluminum hardware on rival kits
- All that width bunches at the edges until you learn to spread into the diagonal lay
- No net or tarp in the kit, so building a full camping setup means extra purchases
Who it is for
New hangers and couples who want the widest budget double with suspension included.
Width is the whole story
Most doubles run 55 to 75 in wide; this body stretches to 79 in across a 125 in length, and the difference is obvious the moment two people climb in. Loungers can sit side by side or spread diagonally without stealing fabric from each other. Solo, the extra cloth wraps into a deep cocoon that some sleepers love and minimalists will find excessive.
Hardware and the included kit
Gold Armour includes tree straps and steel carabiners, so the box is a complete hang with nothing else to order. The straps are the tree friendly kind the fabric needs. The steel carabiners are strong and simple, and noticeably heavier than the aluminum gates on pricier kits, which matters little in a yard and more in a pack.
Overnight manners
The 210T parachute nylon and 500 lb rating handle two loungers with margin, and the body packs to 12 x 6 x 6 in at 1.9 lb. For sleeping, the gathered end shape still rewards a diagonal lay, and there is no bug net, so summer overnighting means adding a net and a tarp before this becomes a shelter rather than a lounge.

Questions, answered
Does the Gold Armour XL come with straps?
Yes. Tree straps and steel carabiners are in the box, so it hangs from trees or a suitable stand with no second purchase.
How wide is it compared with a standard double?
At 125 x 79 in it is wider than the typical 55 to 75 in double body, which is the main reason two loungers fit side by side comfortably.
Can it sleep two people overnight?
It is rated to 500 lb and wide enough, but two sleepers still share one sag point. Like every double here, it lounges two better than it sleeps two; add a net and tarp before treating it as a shelter.
