is that as stretchy as it looks? Just curious. I hope you find some M55.

Please keep us posted on future developments. Looks very promising
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
we didn't see any stretch even after Neutron and Poof sat it in a bit...that's 310 pounds applied. Still wouldn't recommend letting a noob get in it and bounce or swing.
i saw the momentum 50, but searched for 55 to no avail. i found the 90 with the 50 at thru-hiker.
what do you think the weight limit would be for 50 and 90 in a single hammock?
"Tenting is equivalent to a bum crawling into a cardboard box, hammocking is an art" KK
I think the M90 should do well up to about 200-210.
Our almost static weight on the M50 double tested 310 no visible problems. My gut impression would be that a single M50 should hold about 150 safely, Probably 175 safely as well. At least I will try it with my weight.
As with everything, what safety margin is desired? I know engineers like at least a margin of two or three. Corporations probably like that as well. Realistically, it is a balance of weight, comfort, and safety. If the M50 single turns out to be as comfortable as the double, I would use it all the time. If I had plenty of funds or making hammocks professionally, I would test single and double M50's and M90's hammock until failure. That would at least give a static failure rate on which to help with our educated gut opinions.
Momentum 90 T,,(tafetta),,tears very very easily, But,,made a hammock of it, and the Momentum 90 MR (ripstop nylon) 10' gathered end, with 6ft whoopies, RL and Nano 23 biners, 2 tree straps, and piece of bug net,,total weight was 15.8 oz in cuben bishop bag by zpacks. Holds up great,,and still using it after a couple of months.
