I have been in contact with slingrings about the strength of their small aluminum rings. Just thought I'd share the info:
Mike,
In the independent testing that we have had done, the small rings break at 2000 pounds. If you are planning on selling the hammocks, I would recommend having your own testing done as well, though I am putting together a packet of testing information that I will have ready in a little while if you would like a copy of it.
I hope that helps to answer your questions.
excellent info. Remind me someone please of how much one of these rings weighs? I didn't see that on the website.Quote:

If I am not mistaken I think she told me 11 grams. I will have a dozen here Monday or Tuesday & will weigh them. I have a 0.01 gram balance at work in the lab & will post an average, high, & low when they get here.
great, thanks. The SMC rings are 0.4 oz, 11 grams and change.Quote:

Weighed in on my scales at 13.1 grams each

When I set up the ring system opted for the lower priced SlingRings. Two of the rings weighed in similar to one CampNano 23gm biner. My scale is only accurate to +/-1gm. They held me up fine for the couple nights I used them. I'm only #129. So factor that in to their real would strength.
Even at 13.1 still a great deal at $1.65 each shipped, IMHO.Quote:

Seems the the weight may be related to color?!?
The dark colors were heavier than the light colors!
OMG...now we have to pick colors to save weight??! What is next? lolQuote:
