    Best fabric for Dutch Netless Hammock?

    I have a Hexon 1.0 Dutch Netless hammock and I like it, but the fabric seems a bit firm and I wish it had just a bit more 'give' to it. What fabric do you guys prefer for your Dutch hammocks? I don't want the stretchiest fabric, nor the firmest. Something in the middle would be perfect. Thanks for your advice.

    NylonD 1.0 sounds like it would fit the bill. Also the ARGON 1.6 will have little more give. PolyD will be very firm and not a good pick.

    I looooove the little bit of stretch of Argon 1.6. It's the most comfortable hammock I've slept in.

    I agree with clean, Argon 1.6 is my favorite as well....

    My favorite is the Dobby 1.9. It is the best of both worlds with the softness of Nylon and the firmness of Polyester. It also has that really cool psychedelic pattern. It also is the most wind proof of all my hammocks.

    So, there is s more comfortable material than my Hexon 1.0 Half-Wit? Not sure I can take it. I love the subtle stretch compared to my WBBB 2.1 DL.

    The nylon d is perfect for me. Has some support but not too stiff. I have an argon, polyp and nylon d.
    Keep movin', keep believing and enjoy the journey!
