Lightest(weight) full-size double layer hammock possible..? .66 fabric?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with a fabric lighter than 1.0, such as the .66 fabric? Obviously on its own would probably be pretty dangerous but as a double layer or even as the outer layer mated to a more commonly used fabric? Thoughts?

Btw, I'm about 170 lbs.

I think you'd be more than fine with a dbl layer of .66.

1.1 single layer hammocks are good to 200 lbs. Your dbl layer adds up to 1.32, which gives you even more. On top of that, I would assume any dbl layer hammock would be stronger than it's equivalent single layer (in fabric thickness), clone for a bunch of reasons. Maybe not, but I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case.... It is in so many other applications. Either way, it still adds up to more than you need.

I may just have to give it a shot.
