    Hexon 1.0

    I am thinking of building a hammock and want it to be as light as possible, but I am a 6'3" 207lbs dude. Has anyone tried the Hexon 1.0 fabric? Dutch sells it, and it sounds like the type of fabric that I would like in a hammock, but I am a little bit worried about stretch related discomfort. But at 1oz/yard, it seems like the weight is pretty unbeatable...

    Hexon is fairly low stretch.

    I have an 11' hammock in the Hexon1.0 and I'm 5'11" and right at 200lbs dry. I personally like it better than the exact same hammock I had in Hexon1.6. The 1.0 had just the right amount of stretch for me where as the 1.6 was too firm for my taste.

    I'm 5'10" and 220lbs. The Hexon 1.0 is the best feel and lay of any hammock I have ever had. Would highly recommend

    Thanks for all the great info, guys! Now I need to figure out which design I'm gonna make. I like the look of the HH clone, and also the footbox/WBBB hammock. It looks like there's a good tutorial on a very short footbox/wbbb that gets a nice flat lay. I know it's not for everyone, but I'd eventually like to put an integrated 20-30 degree under quilt built into the hammock. I think I would use VHB tape to secure the baffles to the exterior of the Hexon1.0 Hammock, so the stitching doesn't bother me, and use Cuben for a wind-proof, splash guard integrated UQ exterior. I will probably try to get 20-30 deg fill power. I don't anticipate getting too hot in the summer unless it's REALLY hot out, since I can just sleep without a TQ.
