my whoopies look like they have stretched where they enter and go thru eachother. Anyone else have this problem or do you think the dyneema is defective. looks like about 1/4in of stretch

That is the way my amsteel whoopies look. I think it is the braiding opening up more than the fibers stretching. Completely normal.
Yup. It's the braid shifting. Dyneema doesn't stretch (at least not noticeably).

i have noticed mine stretching as well... but only on the slings that I mess with over and over with. One set (for my HH Expidition) I took apart a few times trying to the length the way I wanted are really abused looking.
But the others that I don't mess with and keep in the hammock, are all in good shape (for the most part.)
time to order some Dyneema thanks to Knotty.
