Big guys and Hexon 1.6

[Monkeyboy42]

I'm 245 and just made a hexon wide 1.6 at 11'. So far I really like it. It is firmer then my hyperd 1.6 (less stretch), and my feet don't fall out. The lay is pretty darned flat also. I think the less stretch helps with that.

The hexon is a little rougher feel then a lot of hammock fabric. It's not as silky as the hyperd. It's not bad though. It's not like it's sandpaper!

Thanks guys. Gonna make a 1.6 Hexon and also try a 1.7 Robin also from Rip stop by the roll.

Thanks for posting this thread. Very curious to hear how things go for you.

I've got a buddy who I'm looking to convert to a hanger and may end up doing a DIY for him. He's 6' 6" and 300-310 lbs depending on the season and how well his wife is feeding him. So I'd been wondering if the 2.4 would be the best choice or if a 1.6 would work.

Any concerns about stretch?

I am 6'2" 270 lbs. I sent off for the same kit this morning. Perfect timing on the thread.

Tag. This is relevant to my interests as well.

I am 6' 1" and about 260. I love the 1.6 Hexon. I went for the wide in my Hammeck Envy-S. Very comfortable with good support.

I have a 1.6 Hexon wide and have been very impressed with it. I've made two others in hyperd, and prefer the feel of the hexon. I am 260 lbs and have been very happy with the feel vs. heavier fabrics. No feeling of imminent pain which is nice.
