Do those tiny loops mean it will snag more?

Airwave as shown on RSBTR's Instagram doesn't look like the swatch shown in the teaser Vimeo at beginning of this thread.
Same fuzzy thread different weave? Cottony hand sounds like meant to compete with Hexon. So how does Airwave 1.8 compare, subjectively or otherwise, to Hexon 1.6?

Beat me to it
The original swatch shown in the teaser was the sample we started with for development. We took that base yarn and wove a completely new fabric from scratch, primarily tuned with hammocks in mind.Airwave as shown on RSBTR's Instagram doesn't look like the swatch shown in the teaser Vimeo at beginning of this thread.

On the question of softness, to speak plainly I think 1.8 AIRWAVE is softer than everything else on the market - our hammock fabrics and other offerings included. I don't think it's all that close of a call either. I think you'll understand why once you get some in your hands.
We'll release a comparison chart for all our hammock fabrics updated to include 1.8 AIRWAVE soon. I know folks are interested in comparing stretch, strength (i.e. weight rating), hand feel, etc between all the options. But to give a hint... softness isn't the only thing AIRWAVE has going for it

Looking forward to the chart! Stretch has become a major characteristic for my hammocks.

So if you make a double layer hammock with Moroccan Blue Monolite on the outside and Burnt Orange Airwave on the inside, does it appear to color shift based on the viewing angle like ChromaFlare paint?
