When looking for a hammock, it pays to look closely to see the difference.

Interesting video. I'm kinda new so I maybe wrong. Aren't good hammocks made with triple stitching? I only saw one hammock using triple.
Can't speak for those other "good" hammocks.Originally Posted by edgeaddict
Our end channels are triple stitched and our zippers are double stitched. What you don't see is sometimes just as important as what you can see.
Here's one that happens to be in front of me at the moment (#1081). Look closely at the triple stitched channel. Can you spot the 4th row of stitching?

The leftmost row is a double.

Very cool. I just like making people explain. Helps me learn. I just got an infinity excursion pro and from what I've learned since joining this forum they're product is an excellent value and well made.
Funny I actually looked at your hammocks originally but couldn't afford them.
I like the way your netting is incorporated
Triple stitched channel that is not done well or properly is worse than a double stitched channel that is done the way it should be. There's lots you don't see. Stitching done with rotting thread can look good but it won't last. Stitching done with fresh thread is strong and trustworthy. When you get top quality craftsmanship coupled with top quality materials is where you really hit the jack-pot. That's the reason we are so invested in our cottage folk. The best coupling of craftsmandship and materials.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Hence why I went with who I went with. They're a small company made in the USA. And I didn't have to break the bank.
Even among cottage built gear there sometimes large differences in craftsmanship and quality.
GREAT video!!
I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, make sure I stay here.
When I see lovers' names carved into a tree, I don't think it's cute. I think it's strange how so many people take knives on a date.
