    Highly recommend the XL. Although the extra weight sucks on long hiking trips, the solid good sleep makes up for it.

      Not so much extra weight about 250gr for the lot I think.

    I had the standard Amok I am 5ft 10in. It was prob the right size. I traded it and got the XL ant its more roomy. I put a lanyard on the big net zipper on both models to help reach it by my feet. The chair mode is still great and the extra bit of room is awesome.

    I’m 5’11” and was very tempted to go with the XL but I followed the advice of your size guide and went with the regular. It arrives in a couple days…hope I made the right choice! Really looking forward to this sleep system.

      Hi there! Your height is just on the border between our recommendations, so if you try it and figure out its not the right fit, you can return it for an exchange within 30 days :)

    Cool it looks like I’m the same height as MR Mail. I find the length of the regular Draumr to be just right for my height and everything works perfectly. I can’t wait to get back out for another trip in my Amok Draumr! All the best

    Newcomer to the AMOK world; I got the std. and also traded it for the XL. I am 180 cm and like the extra room for when kicking the sleeping bag off my feet.😁
    Also the balance point "sweet spot" is easier to find as the head end does not tip backward as easily.

      Glad to hear you found the right size for you! We can only give general recommendations, there will always be exceptions from the "rule".

    As a 181cm tall, this was very informative video. You should link this to Draumr Size Guide on your web page!

      Thank you for the feedback, Juha. We are actually planning on making an updated Draumr video like this. As you can see in our size guide amokequipment.eu/pages/draumr-hammock-size-guide we have edited the size recommendations. Based on feedback from our customers, we now recommend choosing the Draumr in standard length if you are up to 180 cm and Draumr XL if you are over 180cm.

    BTW the hammock itself is perfect for resting in while you are on a camper-van trip:)

    Kommer dere til å lage denne i 5.0 med vanlig, XL og XL UL?
    Hadde også vært artig med XL og alle 3 fjøl underlagene. Gjerne med en på 195 og 100 kg.

      Heisann!
      For øyeblikket har vi ingen planer om en ny sammenligningsvideo, prinsippet vil jo bli det samme med Draumr 5.0. Vi skal nok få til noen videoer med Draumr UL i løpet av året ;)
      Vi tar med oss tipset angående en video med alle tre underlag! :)

    I bought this hammock. I bought the Amok draumr XL, just for the extra space that this XL gives.
    I've used it now 4 times, and believe me 4 times is the number for me.
    I'm an average middleaged dude.
    I'm 170 cm tall, 47 year old and a little on the heavy side, not much BUT obviously a little is more then enough.
    I have as anyone else worked my sweet bum off, for the last 30 or some years. So in that regard, I'm not a 4 x olympic gold medalist in gymnastics or an circus contortionist or an eal, oter, snake or anything else that is flexible.
    I live in norway, so it tends to get a little cold in late autumn, winter or early spring.
    As I said I've tried this hammock out 3 times before, there will NOT be a 5th time.....That's a 100% certainty.
    If I filmed this 4th and LAST time I used my hammock. That video would've gone viral and viewers could've died laughing and I would've been considered a serial killer. A multi-milionaire youtuber yes, but still a convicted serial-killer
    My serialkiller-name could've been something like: "The viral youtube video killer".
    Imagine a 47 year old man, as flexible as a piece of hardwood, stiff and sore after hiking with a backpack, after gathering firewood, chopping that up and sitting down for some time. Now imagine this guy entering his hammock stuffed with a sleepingbag, a reindeer skin, pants, jacket inside of the hammock. It's -5 degrees celsius outside and I'm standing there in my long-johns only. Now the show starts.
    Grab your popcorn, sit back and watch the circus act start. This will be a show of epic proportions ! !
    First of I'm not taller then 170 cm, that's important, very important to remember and alittle bit on the heavyside, not much but enough obviously.
    (heavy sigh, deep breath) I do a stretch to the left and a stretch to the right, bend forward and a careful stretch backwards , a couple of highknees. A few reassuring exhales.... I give the hammock a staredown.......OKI DOKI here we go:) Some shadow boxing for confidence and READY SET GO ! ! ! ! !
    I'm in the forrest, and I need to balance out the hammock, sleepingbag, reindeer skin, clothes and last but not least ME, my body in the mix of all this.
    The cover where you put the inflatable mattress inside of IS slippery, the reindeer skin is slippery, my sleepingbag is slippery. Now I need to handle ALL of this in some magical way, while I'm entering
    THE HAMMOCK
    ENTERING THE HAMMOCK:
    I'm in the forrest, so the ground isn't level and flat. It's dark, I have a headlamp on for light, so this one is in the mix too(donkeyd*ck headlamp, f*ck off).
    I need to get under the ridgeline, pull my self into the hammock, put the string in that tiny ring((flexible as a pice of hardwood, I am....and of course 170cm and alittle on the heavy side)) and to zip up the mosquito net. I know it's not needed, but I like it so. It creates a better airflow inside....
    My reindeer skin WILL slide on the mattress, the sleepingbag WILL slide on the reindeer skin. Some of my gear will slide out of the hammock, or partially. Something will f*ck shit up. (There's not enough room in those small pockets for all the stuff you have with you inside)
    OK.. I'm inside the hammock. Now for THE REINDEER SKIN.
    THE REINDEER SKIN:
    I arc my self....Well arcing myself at the best of my abilities, while I'm balancing out the hammock. The hammock is put up correct way, I've managed that :))))))))))))))))))))) WHOOOOPPPPPIIIIII.
    So back to the reindeer skin. Remember the mattress cover IS slippery. I'm on my back somewhat arced, pulling on the reindeer skin. Remember the sleepingbag is THERE on my righthand side, just waiting to be handled. (I think it's laughing at me, that evil IT-clown high pitched kind of giggle). The reindeer skin is now finally underneath and I'm glaring at the sleeping bag knowing the cardio workout I've just finished. Now for final act of the show. The grand finale. THE SLEEPINGBAG.
    GETTING INTO........THE SLEEPINGBAG:
    I'm in my longjohn's, it's -5 degrees celsius outside. I'm begining to become somewhat damp with sweat, after the workout with the reindeer skin. Sleepingbags tend to become somewhat clingy in the regards of moisture...... I take another deep breath and here I go...again !
    First leg inside, next leg inside, everything seems to go smoothly:)) So there's a light at the end of the tunnel . Some would call that "light" a glimmer of hope....BUT(you just hope it's not the train). My backside slides in, oh f*ck the lip that needs to go under my back. I'm lying halfway inside a very slippery sleepingbag on top of a very slippery reindeer skin, on top of a very slippery mattress cover. AND I need to arc myself so I can get that last piece of sleepingbag underneath my back and over, so I can zip up my sleepingbag. After maybe 10 minutes of hard cardio workout, I'm finally inside of this contraption. F*CK F*CK F*CK I need to go and relieve myself(take a piss) of course. Oh dear lord Belzebub, you unholy creature. Out of the sleeping, sliding out of the hammock and I do my business. Back to the hammock. Again...I stare with horror and tears in my eyes, at this torture device.
    NOPE, f*ck this. I quit, I surrender.......nope nope and nope. I flip off my hammock and calls it names, best not written... I can guarantee you A L L. That the words coming out of my mouth @ this time of night, is NOT the most kind and well meaning words in the norwegian language and my vocabulary in regards of these kind of words are very very very very very very very extensive. I think I invented some new ones too.
    I packed up my shit, walked to my car and drove back home.....@ 4am in the morning and steaming with satanic, out of control hellish RAGE.
    F*CK hammock life, I'm outta here.
    Next time I'll put up my Bergans 4 season tent:)
    I hope you enjoyed this TRUE horror story. This f*cked up shit happened to me. Saturday 3rd of april in this piece of shit covid year of 2021 @ f*ck me, crap, shit, burn in hell, damn you to satan himself ahhhhhhhhh 3am in the morning.
    The night GOD sidestepped and DID NOT want to push his f*cking luck. The night when Belzebub himself and I became the best of friends.
    Thank you and best regards from.
