DD Hammocks and Momo Jord solve the same problem at two different price points. DD gets you in cheapest: a Frontline with a built-in bug net runs roughly €72–88 at EU retailers, and the tarp-and-underquilt ecosystem around it is huge and easy to find anywhere in Europe. Momo Jord costs €159 complete with suspension, but it’s longer (350 cm against the Frontline’s 270), cut asymmetrically so you lie flatter, PFAS-free, and ships from Sweden across the EU with VAT included and no customs. If you want the cheapest possible bushcraft setup to build on from here, DD is the honest answer. If you want a finished, flatter hammock for a bit more, ready to hang the same evening, that’s ours.
DD Hammocks was, for years, the thing I handed across the counter when someone asked for a hammock with a bug net under a hundred euros. I’ve hung more Frontlines than I can count and repacked Travel models in forests across the Nordics. So this isn’t an outsider who Googled a spec sheet — I’ve had the gear in my hands, sold it, slept in it, for fifteen years in this trade.
This won’t be a mud-slinging contest. DD is cheap for the right reasons, not the wrong ones. They built an ecosystem that actually holds together, and they made hammocking affordable for a whole generation of outdoor people. Credit where it’s due.
What DD does really well
Quite a lot, actually. Price first: a DD Frontline with a sewn-in bug net runs roughly €72–88 at EU retailers — Varusteleka in Finland has it at €72.99, others sit closer to the top of that range. That’s clearly under our €159. Want just a hammock with no net at all? The Camping model is cheaper still — around €29–34, usually bought as a direct import from the UK. It’s hard to get into the woods for less than that.
Then there’s the ecosystem. DD Tarp 3×3 (~€68), underquilts, snakeskins, straps — all built to fit together, so you’re not left guessing at measurements. Frontline and Travel also have a neat detail: a double fabric layer on the underside where you can slide a sleeping pad in between the layers for warmth in the cold. The Travel model is reversible — waterproof floor one way, net the other — and can be rigged as a ground shelter when the trees run out.
The model range is wide, from the Camping for a few euros more than nothing to the SuperLight Frontline at 620 g for gram-counters. Availability across the EU is genuinely good, too — Varusteleka and other EU retailers carry it widely. Buy through an EU retailer and VAT is included, no customs on top. DD has twenty years behind it, and it shows. It’s a safe brand to start with.
And where it chafes
DD’s hammocks are cut symmetrically — straight, rectangular fabric. You lie most comfortably on the diagonal, but without an asymmetric cut the fabric doesn’t flatten out as much. You get more of the classic banana curve, calves sitting a bit higher than you’d like. For one night it barely matters. Ten nights running and your back starts having opinions.
No tarp is included. The base price covers hammock, net, and straps — the roof is a separate purchase (DD Tarp 3×3 lands around €68). The net is also permanently sewn in and can’t be removed, so you can’t drop it and use the hammock as an open lounger on a fine afternoon.
And the pricing picture is less clear-cut than it first looks. The light net model, SuperLight Frontline, actually costs around €153–157 at EU retailers — more than ours, while it only holds 100 kg. So “DD is half the price” holds for the Frontline. It doesn’t hold for the light one. Standard straps are also plain 10 m webbing rather than wide tree-friendly straps, and exact fabric denier isn’t published on DD’s own pages — you simply don’t know what the weave weighs. Order direct from ddhammocks.com in the UK and post-Brexit import VAT, customs duty, and UK-based support on returns get added on. Buy through an EU retailer and none of that applies.
Where Momo Jord comes in: longer, flatter, done in the box
Our hammock is 350 cm long against the Frontline’s 270. That extra 80 cm is exactly what lets you lie on the diagonal without your feet pressing into your calves. It’s cut asymmetrically, so the lay is flatter for the same reason a Hennessy’s is — the cut, not the fabric. 690 g with bug net, 1090 g for the whole system, 200 kg capacity, 70D ripstop that’s PFAS-free.
For €159 you get everything you need to hang the same evening: hammock with sewn-in midge-proof net and three pockets, suspension straps, four carabiners, guy lines, two stakes, and a stuff sack. Shipped from Sweden across the EU — free over €250, about a week via DB Schenker, 30-day returns, and support that answers in a European time zone. Like DD, we don’t bundle a tarp into the base price — but if you want everything in one order, the Hammock Kit bundles our Asym Tarp and an underquilt with the hammock, priced from €159, with each piece costed separately.

“But DD is cheaper?”
On the Frontline, yes — and that’s a real advantage. Roughly €72–88 against €159 is a genuine difference, especially on a first hammock. But compare apples to apples. DD Frontline is 270 cm, symmetric, 850 g, and holds 125 kg. Ours is 350 cm, asymmetric, 690 g, and holds 200 kg. The extra euros buy the length, the flatter lay, the lower weight, the higher capacity, PFAS-free fabric, and support in your own part of the EU.
And the moment you start comparing by weight, it flips. DD’s light net model costs more than ours and carries less. So put plainly: if budget has the final word, buy the Frontline with a clear conscience. If you want more hammock and a flatter back for the difference, that’s ours.
Already own a DD? This part’s for you.
One thing DD got right is sticking to the gathered-end format, which means our down underquilt Idun fits under most DD hammocks about as well as it fits under our own. Cold under your Frontline? You don’t need a new hammock — you need an underquilt. UQ300 Summer (600 g, +5°C and warmer) is in stock from €279, and the warmer spring and late-autumn models are too. If you want to see how down stacks up against synthetic, and how DD’s own underquilts compare, I’ve gone through that in the underquilt comparison against Snugpak and DD.
The verdict
DD made the woods affordable to get into, and that’s no small thing. For a first hammock, for a teenager heading out on their first trip, for anyone who just wants to find out if hammocking is their thing — the Frontline is an honest buy, and I’ve sold hundreds of them.
Ours costs a few euros more and gives you the length, the flatter lay, and a shop that ships and answers from inside the EU. DD taught a generation to hang cheap. We built the one you don’t grow out of.
FAQ
What’s the difference between DD Hammock and Momo Jord?
DD’s hammocks are cut symmetrically and shorter (Frontline 270 cm); Momo Jord is cut asymmetrically and 350 cm long, which gives a flatter lay on the diagonal. DD Frontline is cheaper (~€72–88 against €159); Momo Jord is lighter, holds more weight (200 kg against 125), is PFAS-free, and ships from Sweden across the EU with VAT included and no customs.
Is DD Frontline cheaper than Momo Jord?
Yes. DD Frontline with a built-in net costs roughly €72–88 at EU retailers against our €159. But the light model, SuperLight Frontline, costs around €153–157 — more than ours — and only holds 100 kg. The price advantage applies to the Frontline, not to the whole line-up.
Does DD Hammock have a bug net?
Frontline and SuperLight Frontline have a permanently sewn-in bug net (it can’t be removed). Travel/Bivi has a built-in, reversible net. The Camping model and the base SuperLight hammock have no net — it’s bought separately.
Does a tarp come with DD Hammock?
No. DD’s hammocks are sold without a tarp; the roof is a separate purchase (DD Tarp 3×3 lands around €68). Momo Jord’s hammock also sells without a tarp in the base price, but the Hammock Kit bundles a tarp and underquilt with it if you want everything in one order.
Does Momo Jord’s underquilt fit a DD hammock?
Yes. The Idun underquilt is built for gathered-end hammocks and fits most DD models, as well as Hennessy and Dutchware. You don’t need to switch hammocks to add a Swedish-designed down underquilt.
Do I have to pay customs buying DD Hammocks in the EU?
Buy through an EU retailer and VAT is included with no customs duty. Order directly from ddhammocks.com in the UK and post-Brexit import VAT, customs duty, and UK-based support on returns get added on.
If you want more hammock and a flatter back for a few extra euros, our hammock and the kit are here, ready to hang the same evening. If budget is what decides it, a DD Frontline through an EU retailer is a completely honest choice — I say that as someone who’s sold hundreds of them. If you want to see how both stack up against the rest of the field, read the full comparison of this year’s best camping hammocks — and if a genuinely flat lay is what you’re actually chasing, I’ve put ours up against a bridge hammock in the Warbonnet Ridgerunner comparison.
