    Fabric comfort?

    I sleep in a doublenest right now every night, but lately I've noticed I'm having issues. I think my eno has stretched and hit its limit of comfort. Regardless of my adjustable Ridgeline I have on it.

    I stumbled on these nice priced 11 footers I'd like to try but I'm curious. Which fabric is most breathable?

    I sleep like a furnace at night and I need something that breaths big time!

    hexon and the ARGON fabrics are the most breathable.

    Hexon is breathable and it's soft

    I have a 11 ft. in hexon 1.6 dark olive and love it! Fabric is soft, strong, and light. Color is absolutely perfect!I also came to Dutch after trying ENO and it was the best decision I ever made. Good luck!

    Love the Hexon 1.6 as well. Best hammock sleep, or any sleep for that matter, that I've ever experienced.

    +1 on the He on 1.6. Just the right amount of stretch to go with the firmness. Not a bottomless marshmallow like some "parachute" materials, not firm as a board like some polys.

    Excellent! I got paid today. Gonna make the plunge when I get home. My eno has stretched to the point where I feel like I'm in a waterballoon

    I see a pattern. Why is 1.6 popular?

    I'm starting to think a "heavier" fabric is better. Not that 1.6 is heavy, but I had the Hexon 1.0 and while it was well within my weight limit, I felt it was too light. Just something about it I couldn't pinpoint.

    I may try a 1.6 eventually. For now, I find the most comfort in my Grand Trunk parachute as crazy as that sounds. My WBBB 1.1DL and Traveler 1.7SL are OK, but not as comfortable as the Grand Trunk.
