Ripstop nylon .VS. crinkle taffeta Polly?

[Armor Like Fire]

Hey guys viper here!
I Weigh 150lbs 5ft 8in tall
Alright so I have been using 1.9ripstop nylon hammocks and have been looking into the crinkle taffata polliester material. I know it's more heavy then 1.9ropstop but does crinkle taffata Polly hold more weight? And how much less compress able is this Crinkle taffeta vs ripstop nylon?
I want this Crinkle taffeta because it feels better to me then ripstop and it comes in charcole grey as where I can't find ripstop in that color.
But anyways ripstop nylon vs crinkle taffeta Polly?
Thanks guys(just don't want to whaste my money )

I believe crinkle taffeta is rated at 400lbs, however I'm not sure the compressibility compared to ripstop. I'm sure someone here will know the answer to that. taffeta is a great material for its assorted colors and low price. Hope this helps.
Hang Loose!

Oh so it does have a higher breaking strength then ripstop nylon does?

I'm unsure of which is stronger weight wise but it is pretty strong. You can got to tableclothfactory where they have a silver color although I didn't see a grey. But taffeta is definitely a nice fabric from the time I have used it.

I've had over 500 lbs in my 1.7 nylon traveler hammock when me and 2 other people decided to see what three people sitting in a hammock was like(the person in the middle ended up rather squished). I really don't see any need for a heavier weight fabric. I actually prefer my lady's 1.1 hammock and I'm 200 lbs.

The reason I'm going for crinkled taffeta Polly is because they have the color charcole grey. Ripstop I can't find it anywhere. Although I'm not sure that crinkle taffeta feels anything like eno hammocks or not now that I'm confused but I do like how the ei hammocks fabrics feel more then ripstop so I'm hoping this crinkled taffeta Polly feels similar

I don't know what taffeta feels like, but if it's comfortable and the color that you want then it will probably be your new favorite hammock!

Made mine from a TableclothFactory blank, it is real comfortable (I'm 250# and 6'3"). I remember reading somewhere that they are 2.3oz fabric. Early on I figured I might add a 2nd layer of some lighter stuff (1.1oz ripstop), but no need so far - I've had 500# sitting in it (wife and I plus a kid or two) without worries.
