Had a great trip...it rained on us Friday night and I was a little concerned with the review I had read earlier on the "Wicking" action of the Claytor straps...well...it held true...I was in my DIY under my JRB 11X10 while a buddy was in the Claytor under a 10X8 Blue woven Poly tarp...the tarp had enough coverage...but the straps wicked water and eventually got to the ends of the hammock. The hammock was wet down about 10 or so inches on each end...my buddy slept dry and did not ever know the hammock was getting wet until I showed him when we were packing up. I'll be changing the straps out and applying a ring buckle system to the claytor before it goes back out.
