Lunch for the workers.
They requested hammocks for after lunch... I have a bad feeling about this.

They are no longer calling themselves workers, now they are testers.

Thanks for the update Ratdog.
Argon vs HyperD which do you prefer? (If you have tried both in hammock form.) I almost can't wait for the 1.0oz HyperD...

I have not tried Argon 1.6 in a single layer yet, only doubled with a standard 1.1oz fabric. So I don't think it's fair to compare the lay, stretch, support etc. just yet. The black and grey hammock is the Argon hybrid hammock. So yes, I have felt the Argon fabric in hammock form.

As for the feel of the fabric, Argon still has a slight edge, it's just that bit closer to cotton feel and not so much of a tech fabric feel. The HyperD is attractive as a single layer fabric option for folks over 275 lbs. and feels great to the touch. Am very happy with the HyperD and will be using it during several upcoming builds.

I really need to try an Argon 1.6 single to compare apples to apples.

Time to go do some back to back testing, see how I really feel.

You know, laying here, I don't know if I do give any kind of an edge to the Argon. The HyperD had one side that is very smooth and the other has the rip stop just a little bit more pronounced and I am really liking this HyperD fabric.

Think I'm going to have to order some more.

I'm drooling like Homer over the HyperD I just want the 1.0oz in a bridge hammock..... it's kinda scary to think how light vs strong.
I've subscribed for the updates.

I went from double layer Argon to single and it is a world of difference. I don't mind the double layer, but the single layer stretches in all the right places, but not to much. I am at #250.

Ive got some 1.6 Hyper D on the way and will be whipping it up into a single layer bridge.

And this is the reason i did not put anchor points up in the house.

OK, found the first problem with the HyperD fabric. A problem common to several hammock fabrics.
Problem, I do not want to get out of this comfy hammock!
