    ViDEO: Hammock Fabrics Chat

    This is a non-scientific chat about hammock fabrics. More than likely a few faux pas. C'est la vie. All errors are my own. Keep in mind I was a B- student!
    Hammock fabrics. They can make a big difference in the feel of a hammock.They have come a long way. So many more high-tech choices now.
    I tried to just give an explanation as simply as I could. But it ain't so simple.
    But I do hope it gives some insight.

    Complicated abundance of materials. I'll stay with, and trust my cottage vendor, WB.

    I miss my Argon 1.6 hammock. Best fabric ever IMO. I made a new hammock out of 1.6 HyperD. Nice, but not the same.

    Maybe I'll try some Hexon 1.6 which is supposed to be similar.

    It can get confusing! Almost miss my old days of ordering...one fabric, now would you like olive brown or olive brown?

    Of course, I jest.

    Hammocks have gotten so very confusing and seemingly complicated as popularity has grown. Makes me aware of why some shy away from them.

    Is it possible this lengthy menu of fabrics/ fills/features and doodads is being driven by the minority? I have a strong preference for simplicity. Thanks, Sugar.

    Wish I had a hammock made of lamé fabric.
