I like taking my UL Hammock on longer hikes to reduce bulk and weight.
Figured that would be the point?

There is a point were ultra lite becomes.....
Are there still a lot of people using monolite hammocks? I'm curious to know how they're holding up (or not). I know there was that crit fail and another account of it seeming to stretch out over time. I'm wondering if the material hasn't got much elasticity and tends to fatigue. Also the pictures of it look like there's a thin film in between the mesh, or is it a netting material?
