2" Dyneema huggers

[Cruiser51]

Maybe call Dutchware and see if they can hook you with something .... I had custom 2" straps made for my tensile tent custom, made a couple years ago, and they were very reasonable and as with all things Dutch, they worked great.

Been thinking of adding some 2" tree huggers to my pack just incase. Looking over all the options I've been wondering if/when the UHMWPE and spider web will be offered in 2" The kevlar straps seem nice, but I'd like something more UV resistant yet not as heavy as the other options. There is currently no one manufacturing 2" dyneema huggers/straps. You can find 2" dyneema webbing from some sailing sites, but it's expensive and weighs more than the kevlar straps. Added to that you have to do the sewing yourself. So.... 2 weeks?

You're in luck! We have some brand new 2" spider webbing on it's way to us very soon. We just got done with the sampling and testing process a few weeks ago. It's currently being woven for us and we should have it soon.

Awesome, I'll check back in 2 weeks!

For anyone interested, they got back to me and said the webbing weighs 0.01lb per foot, so .16oz/4.54g per foot. Still pricey for a small order so maybe Dutch, Ripstop and/or Myers Tech Hammock Gear will start producing them.

Note that this is heavier than the Dutch 2" Kevlar, but would have higher UV resistance. If only the spider webbing came in 2"

Saw your post over in the DutchWare area..... https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ebbing-options
A) I'm thoroughly amused that I was apparently right
B) posting link to close the loop
C) hope that's ok to do

Awesome... that sounds like a winner, I'd love some short 2" huggers.

To summarize that thread to this point.... 2" Spiderweb 2.0 is coming very soon at Dutchware, so UL 2" huggers will soon be available.

[dkurfiss]

Merge up the two threads.

If you wrap 1" Dyneema straps twice around the tree doesn't it count as 2" webbing :-)
