    Warbonnet strengthening material

    Can anyone tell me what material is used as the strengthening piece on a Warbonnet BB? Presumeably the same material used on the panel-pull reinforcements on a Superfly? The one's with circular reinforcements.

    Hopefully someone will know,

    Thanks !

    Where is it on the BB? I don't know what part of the hammock you're talking about. Is it the newer version (the one with net below the zipper) or older version (pre 2014)?

    My guess is it's something like a 200D Polyester.

    Sorry for not being clear,



    It's on the same side as the footbox and shelf, halfway between them I reckon. I looked at some instructions for making a BB clone a whilst back and noticed the reinforcing piece on my own BB is made of a tougher material than the standard ripstop.

    I'l check out the 200D polyester

    Thank you
