    UL gathered end fabrics

    So- I've now tried-
    HYPER D 1.0
    PolyD 1.2

    Both are great and in the 4x9 size I tested there was little difference in my opinion. The PolyD actually came out very similar in weight so the 1.2 must have a bit of rounding in it. Both make excellent hammocks in sub 5oz weights.

    I just saw someone who made an M50 hammock that appeared to work.

    So the followup-
    Have any of you had success with-
    Argon .67?
    Argon .90?

    Yes, 5 oz is light enough, just curious about trying these fabrics too. No sense sewing them up if others have tried and failed.

    I also realize some CF hammocks have been made, but for cost and weight savings (and potential drawbacks of delam, and 100% waterproof issues) the Cuben seems little worth it, especially if you could hang on .67 and .90 weights of fabric.

    Thanks and happy holidays to all.

    It does help!
    The M50 got me thinking for sure- I love the stuff- but expensive and occasionally disappears. And if M50 works why not Argon? Curious about that!

    Here's a thread someone posted earlier this year discussing their CS90 hammock.
