Congrats on the Darien wait nearing the end...I love my RTS one that I recently tried prior to ordering a custom (which is way down at the end of their queue:
https://dreamhammock.com/current-orders/10569/)
The RTS gave me the opportunity to check out a new fabric, MTN 1.3 as well as a 64" wide hammock. I love the extra width of the hammock; my feet don't feel all jammed up against the side of the hammock when I sleep (I'm 5'8" or so). The MTN 1.3 fabric is 'meh' for me.
I'm liking HyperD as a fabric but have a weird question -- is one side different than the other? In my quest for the perfect hammock, I've got 2 SLD Trail Lairs at the moment, both in HyperD regular width. One is Coyote Brown and one is Foliage. Somehow the Coyote Brown one seems smoother on the inside compared to the Foliage. It's like you can just ever so slightly "feel" the ripstop grid on one side, while the other side is completely smooth.
Even if I am imagining it, I put a note on my DH Darien order for them to check the "hand" and if they could feel a difference, put the smoother side of the HyperD XL on the inside.
