    Cuben fiber hammock?

    Not sure if this has been discussed before, I was wondering why there aren't CF hammocks?

    Vapor barrier issues, it rips to easily to use a light weight variety, so you might as well use a lightweight nylon.

    I made one, it was really hard. Very uncomfortable and when I undid the whipping it was almost torn through without ever spending the entire night in it.

    Was it uncomfortable due to the cuben not stretching, or some other reason?

    I made an insulated cuben fiber hammock also, but decided to turn it into an underquilt to use with other hammocks. The lack of stretch is the problem.

    I have only seen cuben fiber tarps, what are the advantage of Cuben Fiber in comparison to other materials.

    To save weight, and because its seethroughness is cool
