Weight limit of nylon?

[PuckerFactor]

I made a double layer 1.1oz. one, and have bounced around in it with my (ex)gf, with no failures. Combined weight was 320#, and we were kneeing and elbowing the fabric. I think you'd be safe with whatever weight you go with.

I have now field tested my 1.1oz DIY 2 weekends in a row. I will be hanging again next weekend.

1 - I am 125lbs(ish) and have no issues with 1.1oz holding me.

2 - I roll around like crazy at home in bed ..... but in my hammock ..... wake up 100% of the time in the exact same position I went to sleep in.

3 - If weight isn't an issue and you feel more comfortable using 1.7 or 1.9oz .... go for it. It is easier to have a good night sleep if you aren't worried about hitting the ground some time during the night.

4 - Reconcider some type of underpad. Without mine, I get the cold spots and have a little trouble sleeping. With it (if I can get it to stay put) I sleep like a baby.

For going light and compact in moderate conditions (night lows 50*F or warmer) I've used a torso length self inflating pad. I'm short at 64". The 36" torso length pad keeps my upper body warm. ~8oz and 4x10" packed. Add a chunk of ccf for the legs and feet for ~1oz. Prefer under quilt over pad. Now that it's getting cooler the pad will stay home. Many like the WB Yeti 3/4 uq. If you have a few more $s budgeted and the couple extra ounces are not an issue you may like it better than a pad for comfort and temp. range of use.
