    I bought whoopies by Nimbus Hammock on Amazon. They are listed as " adjustable from 2'-6', 3 or 4mm UHMWPE with reflective tracers." They came with 2 free soft shackles andcost $22. I put them on my hammock about 2 weeks ago and they are showing wear already! Where the tail exits is turning white, fraying some and fading. Also fraying/fading at top of loop behind my marlin spike. Did I get ripped off? I'm only 165lbs so I'm not overloading them. They just don't seem like they should be breaking down this way already. What are these made of? I'm NOT HAPPY and will replace with Whoopies from a cottage vendor as soon as I'm able to. HELP!!IMG_20160729_180634.jpgIMG_20160806_112914.jpgIMG_20160806_113228.jpgIMG_20160806_113314.jpgIMG_20160806_113500.jpgIMG_20160806_113120.jpgIMG_20160729_192036.jpg First pic is the day I put them on, nice, bright red. Rest are today, faded, fraying and dull. Last two are today pic of soft shackle faded and fraying, followed by day I got them pic.
