HyperD...Front and Back side?

[Hunter55]

Just cut out some HyperD from RSBTR and noticed there doesn't seem to be a noticeable front or backside to the material. Is there a front and back side to HyperD???

If it is the uncalendered version for hammocks then both sides are the same. The calendered version for making down gear has shiny and dull sides and the shiny side faces the down.

Thanks from way down under, Michael.....I'm gonna go there someday.

I have some uncalendared 1.0 HyperD in the lime green color, and there does appear to be a very slight difference between the two sides. One side seems ever so slightly more dull than the other, and I think on the opposite side the diamond pattern is every so slightly raised.

This was the case with the Charcoal HD from RSBTR. I planned the slightly dull side for the interior of the hammock. It could only be determined in incandescent lighting. In sunlight, can't tell the difference. Really like the soft feel of the HD.

Ah, so there is a slight difference. I hope you can make it down under one day Hunter55.

Yes one side has a slightly more prominent grid.
