    There's nothing inherently inferior about an ENO. Any hammock will fail if the fabric has been compromised.

    Never drink and hang.
    Long term wear and tear. Exposure to sun and rain. A zipper or rivet on your pants. The hammock is just a piece of fabric, it will wear out eventually.
    Time to move on.
