    My New HH Exped arrived today

    I had to run out and set it up in the back yard.

    VERY comfortable ....

    I'm very pleased with the purchase.

    Quick question ..... is the 250 # weight limit really just 250, or is there a factor of safety?

    IMO there is a safety factor in there. I stretch the wieght limit of my ulba and have for quite a few hangs and for many years. I'm sure the suspension is up to it. As far as the fabric I would be more careful getting in and hard items that may more easily poke a hole in it, but that is standard.

    Thanks ... I'm only worried about dragging extra weight in there ...

    It should do me just fine.

    Congratulations.

    I agree with Dutch, there is some safety factor involved. But, you can consider that number a 'comfort rating'. Beyond it, there will be stretching that reduces flatness.
