In an effort to push the limits and extend our XL line even further, we have developed and scratch woven a new fabric - and it's a doozey. Tonight I'm proud to introduce 1.0 oz ROBIC XL, the ultralight extra wide XL ripstop nylon.

1.0 oz ROBIC XL ripstop nylon - Dark Olive.jpg
This fabric will probably find a home in other applications, but make no mistake, we built this for making hammocks. I know this is a lofty statement, but we designed 1.0 oz ROBIC XL from the ground up to be the strongest, most durable UL hammock fabric you can buy.
The fabric gets it's name from the yarn used to make it - ROBIC nylon. In fabric speak, yarn is the fiber that's woven together to make the fabric. I'll spare you the tech details and just tell you what you need to know - ROBIC is a special yarn that's up to 50% stronger than standard nylon yarn used in other fabrics. In other words...
ROBIC = Higher Hammock Weight Rating
The abrasion resistance is also much better, which means...
ROBIC = Tougher Hammock
Wrap all that up and you have the strongest, toughest, lightest weight hammock fabric on earth. Promise. If you don't believe after opening the box, send it back to us for a full refund, no questions asked. I'll even pay the shipping .
*************************************************

To give them a head start, we will be shipping all vendor orders immediately starting tomorrow morning. Those are the only orders that will ship before Friday.
Lastly, we're running a PRE-SALE ONLY special price of just $6.75 /yd.
