ok thanks everyone. is uncoated 1.9 ripstop downproof? because I'm looking to make a down hammock like on just jeffs website.
I was looking at the JRB MW 3 and it has 15 oz of down in it which is the same as the nest but the MW is rated for colder temperatures. How does this work?
I'm wondering which is better to use for the hammock body? I'm looking at buying the 1.9 uncoated ripstop from quest outfitters but then realised it has a dwr coating. Is this alright?

i have also noticed alot if bickering over there lately. it's shameful really, someone asks a quetion over there and they get told off for asking it and all other stuff. can't everyone just be civil.
when using skins on a tarp do people have to seperate pieces of cord attached to each end of the tarp to tie to trees? or do you have a card going all the way under the tarp from 1 tree to the other.
if i brought my dog into a hammock i think it would break. he's a mastiff-X and weighs 35kg(77lb) and hes only 8 months old, but he would give alot of heat. its like an oversized hotwater bottle. but...
