    Dutch Hammock Fabric Comparison

    What's the advantages/disadvantage comparisons between the Argon hammock fabric and the PolyD fabric? Is it just a "feel" preference? TNX.

    Argon, being nylon, has more stretch than PolyD (polyester). That's neither good or bad, just a preference, as you said, "feel."

    Also, PolyD is a bit stronger than Argon, so a bit of weight can be saved by using PolyD.

    PolyD is a bit more silky feeling than Argon. But, since I don't hike in summer, I sleep in clothes so not much of my body touches the fabric.
