Description
The Mantis is specifically designed to work with most variations of daisy chain webbing. It is an ultra-light variation that will replace the carabiner which weighs in at 21.09 grams and the Mantis weighs 7.3 grams. We have created two different variations which will give you the option to have it spliced onto your continuous loop or free standing to use as desired. The Mantis conveniently slips right onto the daisy chain webbing which makes it very easy to adjust as needed when trying to obtain the perfect hang.
Weight: 7.3 grams
Measurements: 1.5-inch W x 1-inch H
*We also recommend using this hardware with the Spider Daisy Chain webbing as you will not only have an ultra-light adjustable tree strap but now you have the hardware to go with it.

What is the # rating?
Carolyn Palmer –
300lbs.
Doug Nessing –
Can you use this as a whoopie hook as well or will it bend outwards and then eventually be useless or broken?
I understand that it is not designed for this but I often change my tree suspension but keep the same loops on my hammocks, so this would be a very nifty feature even if different ones were made specifically for the dual purpose and got a little bit of the weight back for that specific model.
Quick MS paint picture to show what i mean.
Carolyn Palmer –
No you can not use these as a whoopie hook. They are intended to work with daisy chain webbing and have not been tested to function as a whoopie hook.
Mark Stosberg –
A short video would be helpful.
Carolyn Palmer –
Here is the link to the video. We will add this to the website shortly:

I’m 280 and get a little concerned when the rating is only 20 pounds above my weight. Should I feel comfortable with these or should I consider another option?
Carolyn Palmer –
They are weight rated for 300lbs so you will be fine. I would only be concerned if you were over the 300lbs.
Matt Cook –
Any chance of getting the spliced Mantis is a mixed color set? I’d like to use one color of Amsteel on the head end of my hammock and a different color for the foot end.
Carolyn Palmer –
Yes we can do that for you. Just make a not on your order or email us at sales@dutchwaregear.com and we will note the changes for you.
Jerry Mauchmar –
can you get these with both sides open for both buckles? wanting to use them to attach to the dog ones on my bridge?
Carolyn Palmer –
you will have two options with the mantis as displayed in the picture. I believe what you want is to just choose the mantis only as the mantis spliced will have the one side closed off.
Steve Breault –
can this be used as part of a two person setup like the Beetle Buckles?
Carolyn –
No it does not have that capability.

Can you have these spliced on the adjustable loop of a Whoopie Sling?
Carolyn –
Yes, please email us at sales@dutchwaregear.com and we can work out the details.

Will the mantis clips work well (enough) with the spider web 1.5 webbing?
Carolyn –
The mantis is made to work with daisy chain webbing so you will want to use the spider daisy chain webbing not the 1.5 regular webbing.
srpullen10 –
Could these work with any daisy chain straps. Say eno atlas straps
Dave Gantz –
These will work with most daisy chain straps.
cbova912 –
what is the max width webbing that will fit these? im sure my PYTHON 10 UL will fit but just making sure
Alex Thomas –
1 inch would be the max width
srpullen10 –
How would I put the looped one on my Chamaeleon Hammock? And can I swap it out if I decide to go with another suspension system
jl –
Could this be used to replace the toggle on a marlinspike hitch then connect the continuous loop of the hammock?
Dave Gantz –
We do not suggest this.
pagansdad1 –
Will whoopies slide easily over these when making adjustments? Spiders did not work well for me in that regard.
Dave Gantz –
These are designed to work with continuous loops and daisy chain webbing, but whoopie slings should work in place of continuous loops if needed.
Ryan Foss (verified owner) –
Can I use the Mantis (non-spliced) connecting spider webbing to my suspension hammock (ridgerunner)? I’m hoping to avoid any extra length like an additional continuous loop.
Dave Gantz –
The Mantis is designed to work with Daisy Chain webbing and continuous loops (7/64 or 1/8 Amsteel).

Made hanging from my Daisy chain super quick and easy
Mark Mathis (verified owner) –
Saw these recommended for the UL Spider Daisy Webbing – while they do work, I suspect they are better matched to more standard width/thickness webbing like the poly stuff. With the ultra thin/light UL daisy, the gap is a bit big, and the webbing shifts over putting the whole rig at an angle. Probably not a real issue, but the resulting angle of the continuous loop does worry me a bit, tbh. I think an updated version of this, with a narrower width and height gap would be ideal with the UL Spider type webbing. This is my first time using daisy chain type suspension, will probably move back to Spider Huggers and Whoopie type setup with Whoopie Hooke or Dutch Biner, etc.
EDIT – updated as stars seem reversed.
