1 oz Robic hammocks... How are they holding up?

[onesojourner]

Hey guys. I am looking for some longer term reviews of hammocks made from this material. Is anyone having any issues with this material?

No Issues with mine and it's been used full time for 6 months.
If one is pushing 200lbs plus I would refrain from using light weight fabrics

I did. On two of em. Started thread "holes in robic?" about it.

How much above 200? I'm just under now, and don't want to have any issues if I start creeping over.

210 apparently will do it. Apparently 150 can, too.

I'm 220 and haven't harmed 1.0 Robic yet...

I'm 230 and mine is holding up well. Granted only slept in it 6 nights maybe, but it is still holding up well. Goal is to get down to 200. Right now it is just a tad stretchier than I'd like, but I'll use that as motivation to loose the weight.

I'm 230 and have been using mine for nearly a year without issue. Probably 20+ nights. I examined the hammock a few days ago and didn't find any holes, tears, runs etc.

That said, I will probably make a new one as soon as RSBTR releases their newer fabric. One advantage to using a netless hammock with a Fronkey style net is I can sew up a replacement in about 2 hours.

170 lbs and 6', my 11ft Darien with Robic 1.0 has been holding up fine. Had it out for only half a dozen nights or so, so I can't comment on the durability long term. Seems plenty enough as long as you're careful!

So basically I should be fine, but no doubling up with the wife down by the lake.
