New Hammock Fabric load test data

[ripstopbytheroll]

Wanted to share that we've recently completed our standardized static load testing on two more hammock fabrics:

1.9 oz Ripstop Nylon - CLICK HERE TO VIEW RESULTS

Both materials were tested at a 1200 lb load for a duration of 12 days. In addition to holding up over the life of the test, the overall stretch was mild compared to the range of data we have from testing a number of other fabrics.

One of the things you may notice is that the 1.9 oz Ripstop Nylon stretches less by the numbers than the 1.6 oz HyperD.

Hopefully, this provides some hard answers to questions like "What's the load rating?" and "How much does it stretch?" when you're comparing hammock fabrics.

If you're a vendor using one of these fabrics, please feel free to reference these test results when listing your products or when asked about load/stretch ratings by a customer.

Next up on the testing docket is 1.7 ROBIC Hybrid XL...
