    DD Fabric Weight?

    Does anyone know the weight of the fabric used for the Frontline hammock. How does it compare to the WBBB 1.1 or 1.7.

    I'm guessing its about 1.7 - 1.9 oz/yd. If you have or have had both, how do they compare? I have a Frontline and am trying to get an idea of the feel & weight of the 1.7 WB fabric.

    Thanks

    Mark

    I think your estimate of 1.9oz for the polyester material used to make the Frontline sounds correct. The only way to be certain is to ask Nick at DD
