3.8 onces!!! Checked it twice on two diff scales. I used fabric scissors and cut close to the factory seam. There is some fraying of the excess but there has been no fraying into the factory triple stich seam.

3.8 oz. - almost 4 oz or 1/4 lb. That's pretty good. That's a win-win weight reduction. Lost weight without any sacrifice in comfort, safety or function!

Is that for just one "strip"? What is the new width of the hammock? This might be a nice size for me - especially if it's a bit lighter. A couple more questions:
- Do you get any funny ridges where the seam is or does it lay pretty nicely as if it's one piece of fabric?
- Any issues where you cut into the channels when removing the strip?
- Any pics?
Thanks for taking the plunge! I like the idea of a 1.5. I think I might even have an old double in the closet somewhere to experiment on.
I can't imagine not having my sides on my DN. When I'm at the proper angle, there's no flopping of the sides. For me those sides serve a purpose.
Well I just cut mine off
Why ? To use as a backpacking hammock. For me this hammock feels great to sleep in. Maybe the best night sleep ever in a hammock or bed !
So, after reading a loss of 3.8 oz I was going to try it. The hammock body came in at 11.5 oz
Cut the hem at the point the body & side flap mets and redid the hem.
Slept in it last night and happy to say it feels the same.
