although i've lost over 20 pounds over the last two months, i'm still over 240 lbs and will probably end up going no lower than 220, so I give special consideratio to the weight limit stated for hammocks.
Is that limit based on the design, or hammock material, or the support system? I thought I read somewhere that a HH comes with ropes rated at 250 but could be replaced with ropes rated at 350 lbs, suggesting that the load limit is mostly dependent on the support ropes.
The JRB bridge hammock says it has a load limit of 225 - which would always be too close to my target weight - is that a function of the ropes or its design?
Most of the least expensive hammocks state load limits of 300 or more (travel hammock, eno, treklite. etc) - is that because of the rope or the parchute material they use?
