    I only use their ripstop stuff for hammocks, not sure about other folks here. I've found it in blue, camo and grey... are you concerned about the pattern, or the strength?

    Welcome to Hammock Forums! I hope others can be of more assistance.

    I know my hennessy is made of non rip-stop. I think its some sort of taffeta (same stuff they make bridesmaids dresses out of, and you should know how hard it is to tear that off someone…)
    I think my eno isn't ripstop either. My walmart just got fabric back after not having it for years, so I haven't even looked at their selection. Jo-ann has some ripstop in a few colors (blue, orange, grey, and sometimes yellow and green), and I've made a hammock chair out of it thats holds me quite nicely, I wouldn't be afraid to sleep in it, but it is heavier than either the eno or the hennessy fabric.

    WMT sells the ACU camo in taslite nylon fabric. I've made hammocks and other things out of it. It's about 2.2, cheap at a hair under $2 and makes a strong rig for a hammock or whatever.
