Another ridgeline bites the dust... HH Expedition...Lucky no one was in it...Just leaning on it. I think HH has a issue here with the strength of the ridgeline. We'll see what Tom has to say about it. I'm curious on how the length of the ridgeline is determined, too short = more stress on the ridgeline?? Stay tuned.
That's weird. I have never heard anything about HH ridge lines breaking and now there are 3 in a few days.

I wonder if jumping into the hammock more would add enough force to break them?Originally Posted by headchange4u
Is that too much to ask? Girls with frikkin' lasers on their heads?
The hanger formly known as "hammock engineer".
One way to find out.

mine broke the second time i used it ..but it was mostly my fault...i was trying to use a cheap clip link to hang gear up in the head area...i think the abrasion from the link scored or cut my line...i made a field repair ..it held just fine... that was 2 yrs ago... from this i warned everyone that i know who have a HH to be certain what ever yo uare linking over your ridge line has no sharp edge..or anything that could abrade the line
what is the hh ridgeline material? is it nylon? i think i remembered it being a little stretchy, which would point to nylon,
i've got it somewhere, so i'll check and see, but its old and may be different now. anybody know?
I thought the ridge line was made from a Spectra-like line like the supports, only smaller diameter. I'm not really sure though.

That's what I'm thinking also....but not sure.

Definitely not spectra on my HH ULBA.
dug up my old one (about 5 years old), and it seems to be nylon. (cut it out and tested its stretch, lots of stretch, gotta be nylon)
