When I think "hammocks", I think "Forbes".

Looking forward to their heart stint reviews so I can make an informed decision.
These are always funny. Im an obsessed canoer/kayaker as well, and a similar article was just posted about "the best canoe". One would think they would be smart enough to define "Best" as "best for X purpose". On the water that would be like, flat water, white water, day crusing, wilderness tripping, etc. Those 4 categories imply extremely different designs, just like a UL backpacking hammock is the best for weight, but not for longevity.
Anyways, the reviewers chose 4 canoes available from Dicks and picked the "best" one. Max price was like $600 new, completely ignoring that all four boats were turds.
I really wonder who uses the "best of" lists from non outdoor companies. The lists from outdoor specific sites are often useful, but Forbes or USA Today lifestyle section? hard pass.
"Best of" lists from enthusiast websites are legit, though. Hammocks on hammockforums is a good example, but many others exist. I'm into photography and there are sites that specialize in photo gear, rigorously lab-testing all of it and assigning a meaningful score for fellow discerning enthusiasts.
Heh. The first photo says it all.
Love the fact that the one "name" brand, ENO, is presented in the wrong format.
One could make a drinking game out of crappy last-minute sports equipment listicles churned out by PR flacks. One sip for overused phrases such as "on the go"; one sip for a photo showcasing blatant misuse of product; a whole shot for matching the wrong product photo with blurb; etc. (I'm using sips because otherwise the game would risk alcohol poisoning.)
