There is absolutely NOTHING sexy about burnt orange.

I have found that for me, the 1.0 is less tolerant of an imperfect hangs. When I have it dialed in just right it's GOLD. However, occasionally I find that I can't quite get it right. Again, thanks for sharing! (You might consider picking up a Lav or shotgun mic. At times the audio was hard to hear.)

How does your HyperD compare to the Hexon? Is it stiffer? And is it more forgiving to an imperfect hang?

I am curious to hear this as well

Thanks for sharing that! I will probably end up getting a 1.0 as my next hammock! .... Now, I just got get one of my friends to buy my other one :P

that was a good vid, was really curious about the fabric difference as well

right now, rocking the Amok, with a pad, I don't have to think about it, but in wanting to expand the armada, I guess it'll become more important

I got a 2.4 after already owning a 1.6 because it felt a little bit too stretchy for me.
The 2.4 was everything I hoped for, very little stretch, super comfortable. I also like the feel of the somewhat rougher structure of the material.
I weight 230lbs.

Do you sleep on your back or side?

80% back, 20% side I'd guess.

I'd be curious to know, at which point does the 1.0 hit the yeild point? Obviously, it's between 130 and 190, but does the elasticity yeild at a higher rate at 135 than at 130? Any one know Bill Nye?

It is interesting to know that the stretchier material is more comfortable for side sleeping, I've always assumed the opposite.

Thanks for the science!

This is the difference that I feel - I'm really curious if others do as well? I'm thinking because I sink in more that is what is helping.

Shaka - how does the 2.4 compare to the 1.6 when you are on your side?
