Anybody seen this.... http://www.splitleafdesigns.com/stor...n_Hammock.html



Does not say what fabric or the dimensions are.
I did send an email asking for specs.

Does anyone know who this is or if he is on the forum?

It was a kickstarter project last year. Also there is a review that was just put up on Brian green's blog today

I saw that on Brian's site but still had questions and wanted to let others know.

Specs showed 48" X 108" (or 4 X 9 feet). Will hold to 275lbs.

As for the material, it isn't specific, other than to say its made by a certified parachute rigger out of material from the skydiving industry.

The definition of parachute material in today's terms is:

"Parachutes were once made from silk but now they are almost always constructed from more durable woven nylon fabric"

That doesn't really answer the question but its the best I could come up with.

Looks interesting maybe for a backup.

All the best !

judging from weight and see thru ness from the pics, looks like 1.1 ripstop to me.

Just heard back. It is 9x4. No mention of the material. They are developing a full suspension option though.

I figure it is about the same as a GTNano

Just heard back from them that they are expecting to ship in June

They have put up some more info on their store page about the material used:

"The fabric is 1.1oz F111 (Exactachute) nylon, the same fabric used in modern skydiving reserve parachutes. The end loops and soft links are 1000 pound Spectra. The edges are strengthened with radial seam tape, to provide extra stiffness at the edges and ensure proper loading when entering and exiting the hammock. Everything is sewn with size 69 bonded nylon thread, which is rated at 8.5-9 pounds per stitch."

I got a second email back after I added some suggestions to the first. They seamed very grateful for the need to document specs. It's the little things that make the difference.
