New SINGLE Layer Hammock with 400lb weight rating HEXON 2.4

**Dutch** · 08-14-2015, 23:24

I keep increasing the limit of the Hexon 1.6. I think I can safely say it is still comfortable with 350 pounds in it. The extra ripstop really goes a long way to controlling stretch. I had it loaded with 400+ pounds and it. An 11 foot hammock come in at 11 ounces with stuff sack.

Ahhh I just ordered a Hexon 1.6 and this answers questions I was going to have to answer experimentally

I'm hoping the wife and I (combined weight ~375) will be able to sit together in it just to lounge at camp. Looks like the weight won't be too much of a concern for safety. I was torn between the 1.6 and the 2.4 but as long as the 1.6 will hold us I much prefer to push the margins a bit to save weight and space in the pack. We're both losing weight anyway so maybe in a month or two we'll be inside that 350lb rated limit

I got my 2.4 today and I must say that I am really impressed with how it feels and it doesn't really weigh more than my other hammocks,

I got my 1.6 the other day and love it. The feel of the material is amazing over my previous ENO. The hexon is soft and feels like a mixture of cotton/polyester/spandex with none of that cotton "fuzz" texture.

Got my Hexon 2.4 already and tried it over the weekend. The only thing I have to compare it to is ENO DN. The ENO is now my back up or spare because I love this thing. The fabric feels much better on my skin. I wouldn't quite describe it as a T-shirt, but but definitely soft. The ENO always felt kind of weird and scratchy on my skin, but this is cozy. I set my SRL at 83% and got a really nice flat lay without feeling like my shoulder was being turned in. Although I still got a slight calf ridge, it was barely noticeable and I can probably make some adjustments to the sag. I don't sense any stretch in this thing either. and i weigh 300. My only negative is I wished it was a little wider, but it really isn't a big deal; I'm just used to the width of the ENO DN. Th extra width of the ENO made up for it's shorter length a little because I could lay at more of an angle, but the extra length of the Dutch means I don't have to lay at as much of an angle which also means it's easier to get better coverage from my UQ because we are closer to parallel. My over-all rating 10/10. I've been hanging indoors off and on over the past year but have not gotten rid of my bed. This hammock may have me closer to going 100% indoor hang. I absolutely love it and would highly recommend it.

I am really glad for these reviews. I tried to make the perfect hammock material and I thought I nailed it but it takes others to verify it. I also have a lighter weight than the 1.6 coming. in about a week. I can't wait to try it.

Slept in my Hexon 2.4 last night for the first time. I'm really liking it. Pad users really need to check this fabric out. It's got just enough texture to it to keep a pad (my Wally World blue with the texture on one side) from sliding around. And I change sides and move around a lot in my sleep. This fabric is a home run Dutch!

I am just back from an overnighter with my 2.4. Although my hang wasn't the best (it was the best I could find), the hammock was much more comfortable and supportive than my other ones and I had the best sleep outdoors in years.

Ugh, lighter weight in only a week. Dutch now you're going to make me order another one.....!

If you double layer it does it bring the weight capacity up? I'm still looking for a reasonably priced hammock for my friend. I'd be more comfortable with a 500lb weight rating.
