which hammock to get from Dutch

[cbsinnett]

I'm going to order a new hammock from Dutch but just cant decide what fabric to get.

I am 230 lbs and so I'm under the weight rating on all his hammocks but the brick red one which is only #200 rated.

What I'm trying to fugure out which has the least amount of stretch?

How do they compare to the feel of my HH deep jungle that is double layer 30D nylon66 and my sons ultrilite backpacker 70D nylon taffeta?

I know every one has there favorite and I'm just wanting to get as much info to make the best choice I can.

If I could I would just order 1 of each and be done with it but just cant do that at this time.

This is a great question - thanks for asking. It would be great to get a the "technical" fabric information for all of the types and then the "subjective" how it feels as well.

I currently have the 1.6 Argon and love it but do not have information other than "I love it"

I think Dutch is running a 3 for 1 sale on hammocks this year on February 30th

Easy: get one of each!

I haven't used any of the HH hammock models you own, but judging from my HH Safari and the specs, I would say that both hammocks probably have very little stretch. If you like that, get a PolyD hammock. However, if you have never used a stretchy hammock, you probably don't know if you maybe prefer some stretch. Nobody will be able to tell you if you would.

I haven't used NylonD, yet, but I assume that it is fairly similar to HyperD. If that is the case, the Argon would have the most stretch; the NylonD would have less stretch but more than the PolyD.

just got a 11ft argon cameo from Dutch yesterday set it up in the house just to rig my suspension, got into it and woke up 2 hrs latter
not technical I know, but wow very comfy

I also wonder if anyone can make an educated (i.e. used them all) comparison between these different hammocks... there's your motivation you rabid Dutchware fanatics! I have the PolyD, and there is definitely very little stretch. From the comments I've read before, seems like the PolyD may be the one you want if you want the least stretch.

Argon will give the most strectch, Nylon d will be next and poly will give the least stretch from the information I have gotten.

That is correct.

thanks for all the feed back.
with that info I'm going to be looking at the nylonD and PolyD for a day or two now.
I know I dont want the argon if it has the most stretch in it.

My nylonD shipped today. I'll post a comparison between it and the eno singleness that I have. Might not help if you have never used and eno.

11' PolyD. The fabric is very nice to the touch and has the least stretch.
