Update: I had the chance to hang the polyd hammock up today in my backyard. Wow! I love it. WAY better lay than the Yukon double I had been using. I'm 6'2" and had no calf ridge pressure whatsoever. I didn't notice the static that others have mentioned about the polyd. Interestingly though, when I was playing with the structural ridge line I discovered that I actually prefer the polyd without the ridgeline versus when using the Yukon double I had use it to get an ideal lay.
That static in this PolyD is crazy! Anyone figured out a way to tame this light show yet?

Dutchs polyd hammock is my go to hammock these days. I had huge static when the hammock was new.
I've gotten about 5 full nights sleep in it so far and hung in it probably 2-5 other times to try it out and the static has gotten significantly lower.
At first I would get shocked when getting in or out of it but now I can hardly tell there's any at all.
The fourth hammock I made was from 3oz polyester and the static is why I retired it. I have some PolyD on the way. May try the dryer sheet right away.
I have commented in the past about static problems with the poly D. However, the last two times I used it I had no issues at all. Here's to hoping the static stays away. Maybe it's just manifested by our being "shocked" by Dutch's great deal on such a quality hammock.
Rub a few dryer sheets all over the inside and outside and the static will vanish or throw it in the dryer with a few sheets.

Is it me or did Dutch remove the weight recommendations?
Not sure about the diy side but this is the finished polyd 1.2
Its says 250lbs
That is for PolyD 1.4 - Hammeck offers hammocks in PolyD 1.2 - they state 200 lbs
