Description
Elevate your outdoor adventures with the ultralight hammock Leleka Elfy, now available through Remlite Ultralight Wilderness Equipment โ your go-to New Zealand specialist for premium, high-performance gear. Crafted by innovative Ukrainian brand Leleka, the Elfy hammock embodies minimalism and performance, weighing an astonishing 170g (complete with straps and pouch) while delivering unmatched compactness, durability, and ease of use. Ideal for thru-hikers, day trampers, and backcountry hunters tackling New Zealand’s diverse terrains โ this ultralight hammock is a game-changer for those who demand lightweight comfort without sacrificing strength. The Leleka Elfy stands out in the world of ultralight hammocks thanks to its unique construction from monofilament yarn in a breathable mesh weave. This innovative fabric provides exceptional tensile strength (rated for up to 150kg) and high endurance, making it resilient against rugged use while allowing superior airflow to keep you cool and dry in any weather. Treated with eco-friendly C6 DWR (Durable Water Repellent), it offers light moisture resistance without harming the environment โ perfect for New Zealand’s variable conditions. The hammock measures 3m x 1.45m, folding into a tiny pouch smaller than a fist for effortless packing into your daypack or hip belt pocket.
No more bulky tents; the Elfy keeps your base weight ultra-low, so you can hike farther and lighter on trails like the Te Araroa or during remote hunts. Setup is a breeze with the patented G-straps fastening system and included 20mm nylon straps (2.2m each), which protect tree bark for sustainable tramping in Aotearoa’s pristine wilderness. Simply find two anchors (trees at least 15cm in diameter) 3-4.5m apart, wrap the straps, attach the G-hooks (color may vary), and adjust height on the fly without unhooking. Hang it at least 30cm off the ground to avoid fabric damage from grass or branches โ the whole process takes under a minute. Remlite’s expert guides ensure safe, intuitive installation.

The Leleka Elfy ultralight hammock is ready to use out of the box and integrates seamlessly with Remlite’s ultralight ecosystem. Pair it with Leleka’s Hammock Mesh for insect protection and a cozy microclimate, or a silpoly tarp for full weather shielding. Add an ultralight quilt for insulation, creating a complete sleep system under 400g โ ideal for multi-day tramps, hunting trips, or quick bivvies in the Kaimanawa or Ruahine ranges. Lie diagonally for a flat position, and use the integrated storage sack along the ridgeline for snacks, phone, or small gear.Care Recommendations
- Weight Limit: Do not exceed 150kg for safety and longevity.
- Avoid Wet Conditions: Mesh fibers may absorb water; use a tarp in rain to prevent migration.
- UV Protection: Avoid prolonged sun exposure (e.g., a week or more) to maintain nylon integrity.
- Protect the Fabric: Empty pockets of sharp objects and remove shoes before use to avoid tears.
- Cleaning: Rinse gently in cool water and air dry; store in a cool, dark place.
