    Weight limit question

    Could some one please give me a rough estimate on the weight limit for a single layer hammock made from one of these ripstop fabrics?
    1.1
    1.5
    1.7
    1.9

    I'm not sure about all of those, but the Warbonnet website has some guidelines showing what hammock to get given your weight. The choice is either a single or a double layer of 1.1 or 1.7oz ripstop, so it doesn't cover everything you've got there, but it should help a bit.
    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    +1 on the Warbonnet site. Scott at DIYgearsupply.com could be of help as well!

    Warbonnet's table is a good start.

    If you're looking for "what will hold" vs "what will be comfortable". . . I have found the WB site to err on the side of comfort. Fabric is a lot stronger than we think..
