Alright, I'm thinking I want to change my HH over to dynaglide whoopies. It seems, however, that the melted holes in the gathered ends may "abrade" the dynaglide and cause a failure. What have people experienced with this?
My second thought, to avoid threading the dynaglide through the melted holes, is to cut the stock suspension line to about 6" and tie a dynaglide whoopie to the stock suspension with a triple fisherman or something similar to integrate the two ropes. Will dyna glide hold in a fisherman knot? Any unforeseen problems I might encounter?
To avoid a bunch of questions let me provide some information. I'm 145lbs, and have a MLD cuben tarp on my HH Hyperlite Asym. I'm still using my HH because for the time being the cost per ounce to go lighter is not worth it in my opinion. I bought the HH a few years ago super cheap and will replace it eventually. For now, I'm working with what I've got.
The whole setup right now is 23.4 oz with tarp. If I've done my math right, I should be able to get down to 21.8 oz with dyna glide whoopies.
While we're at it, any other suggestions for inexpensive mods for weight savings would be welcome.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
