I only use their ripstop stuff for hammocks, not sure about other folks here. I've found it in blue, camo and grey... are you concerned about the pattern, or the strength?
Welcome to Hammock Forums! I hope others can be of more assistance.
The strength of it
I know my hennessy is made of non rip-stop. I think its some sort of taffeta (same stuff they make bridesmaids dresses out of, and you should know how hard it is to tear that off someone…)
I think my eno isn't ripstop either. My walmart just got fabric back after not having it for years, so I haven't even looked at their selection. Jo-ann has some ripstop in a few colors (blue, orange, grey, and sometimes yellow and green), and I've made a hammock chair out of it thats holds me quite nicely, I wouldn't be afraid to sleep in it, but it is heavier than either the eno or the hennessy fabric.
I found some fabric like the army paints are made out of I got it to make a chair or something I can set my gear in it help me up just fine wish I new how to post pics
WMT sells the ACU camo in taslite nylon fabric. I've made hammocks and other things out of it. It's about 2.2, cheap at a hair under $2 and makes a strong rig for a hammock or whatever.

Love is blind. Marriage is an eye opener.
Here are 2 hammocks I made from Wally-World dollar bin fabric :
calendered nylon ( single layer )
urban camo polyester ( double layer )
Looks good... And thank for your service WickedKlown2!!!
