Hi, I am looking to make my first camping hammock, and I wanted to hear thoughts on the differences between a single-layer hammock made from 1.6 oz fabric and a double-layer hammock made from 1.0/1.1 oz fabric. This is assuming I used the same kind of fabric for each (i.e. SL 1.6 HyperD vs. DL 1.0 HyperD). I am only 5'-8" and 150#, so I won't be pushing the limits of any of the fabrics. I also plan on using an underquilt not a pad, so I don't "need" a double-layer hammock. I'm interested in the more subjective aspects like durability, stretch, "feel", and comfort.
