Ditto. At 5'7" and 155 pounds, I wonder if a M50 single would do me well. Hmm... I might have to consider that after my tablecloth bridge.

Give our propensity for lightning strikes here in Florida, I think I would have to take a pass on the Titanium.

Just sayin...

I think tefetta. The Description per thru-hiker is below.

Momentum 50™ is an ultralite downproof breathable weighing in at an incredible .69 oz/yd2. M50 features the highest quality Teflon® DWR for exceptional water resistance and has been has been tested with our 900 Fill Power for downproofness by the International Down and Feather Testing Laboratory.

I would have to say that a single layer M50 would need to have a tech line suspension

In fact I would trust the tech line suspension more than the hammock.

It is a taffeta fabric. I have some in the sewing room now. I would hang in 2 layers but not one.

I just dropped off the M90MR material to my seemstress,,and she will have it done for me by next Wed. of which I will post pics after its rigged with RL and Whoopies. I am making this hammock starting out with 120" of material vs 132" of material as I had tied the M90T into a 10' hammock and slept just fine in it last nite. Will give postings when its completed.
