Hi guys, noob here trying to finalize my first hammock purchase. But have a choice to make regarding two different fabrics.
I'm down to an option between a ripstop material and another material called "Hexon". I've heard of ripstop, but not Hexon. What is the difference? The Hexon is $5 more expensive, which is nothing. However that must indicate the Hexon is better in some way.
More specifically, I'm going with a Tree Runner SL hammock by SimplyLight. Here is the link to the hammock:

At the bottom of that linked page, one of the drop-down boxes is called "Color/Fabric".
In that list, there are different colour/fabric options, providing for different colours and weights of both ripstop and hexon material.
As an 80kg guy, I'm looking for both lightweight and durable, so I think I'm going with a 1.6 oz fabric. There are two 1.6 oz fabrics in the list, one is ripstop, and the other is hexon. I believe I need to make a choice between those two options.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
