Just came into a large amount of spinnacker

[Topplestack]

I've just found myself with a large amount of <1oz. spinnaker, mostly bright colors (which I don't particularly care for) but the price was unbeatable. I've been doing a number of test to it and it seems to be reasonably water proof. Not the absolute best, but I am planning on treating it to another thin layer of silicone before taking it into the field.

I'm tempted to see about making myself a hammock out of it as well. Has anyone made a hammock out of spinnaker?

I know it's not as strong as silnylon, but it only needs to hold about 160lbs. I'm not the heaviest guy out there.

Isn't spinnaker waterproof? That would be a sweaty hammock.

Most of the spinnaker I have is reasonably waterproof, its not Spinntex EXP though, so it does breath a little. I plan on recoating some of it for my tarps, but I also have some that seems to have a high tensil strength that is more water resistent then water proof. I'd say it's borderline breathable enough.

I'd say it's borderline breathable enough.

"Borderline Breathable enough"... I'd say give it a try then...how bad could it be.
