Hi all, I'm new to hammock camping and very excited about it. I recently purchased an Eno Doublenest and suspended it using ratchet straps around trees to try it out. I hung it just below chest height and sat into it as instructed. I'm 5' 11 and weigh about 230. As I began to position myself to get comfortable I heard a ripping sound coming from the stitching. I got out and inspected to find all the stitching in tact but the pin hole size tears just below the triple stitching. This surprised me since it is designed for two people and is rated at 400lbs. I returned it and got a single nest and a set of slap strap pros to give it another try. I the exact same results. Is this a product defect or am I doing something wrong? Other than this I really like the hammock but now I'm wary about buying any hammock being they are a little pricey.
