New Hammock Fabric COMING

[ripstopbytheroll]

So if this were to be used as a top cover, would a vent still be necessary?

No, but the MONOLITE would not make a good overcover as it roughly offers the same wind resistance as noseeum mesh.

Understood, but I was considering using it as an alternative to a mesh. So I was wondering if I could get away with out using a vent for a simpler design. I would not rely on it to trap heat. I’m just thinking it may be a nicer feel and more durable and have a little bit of novelty factor to it.

Would be nice if you added the new fabric to the hammock fabric comparison chart. I'm most interested where it falls in the lineup weight rating as a single layer.

Oh definitely. With the MONOLITE, you could create an integrated bugnet hammock where the mesh and hammock body material are identical. I'm thinking of doing that myself.

Yep. We'll add it to the list soon as it's available for purchase on the site.

How would you know which way is up?! LOL
Actually, sounds like a wonderful idea!

The only downside (see what I did there? lol) that I can think of is that bug nets are not designed to lay against you or the blood suckers with bite right through it. I fell asleep with my arm laying against my bug net one time and I about got ate up. It would have to be pre-treated before using. I love the concept though.

I would imagine this Monolite fabric would be slightly more resistant to bugs biting through than mesh with bigger holes in it. So as an alternative to a mesh top, it’s still an improvement. As a hammock body, I suppose it’s more susceptible to bugs biting through it, but an UQ/pad solves that.

So what does the total weight for a standard 11’ hammock?

At 1.0 oz/square yard and a width of ~63", that makes the linear yard weight around 1.75 oz. An 11 foot hammock uses about 4 yards of fabric so that gives you approximately 7 oz or so. Without continuous loops etc.
