Hi folks,
I just figured out that the fabric used by Kammok (quoteproprietary diamond ripstop fabric, LunarWave") doesn't actually include any ripstop thread (unraveled part of the stuff sack using the same fabric as the main hammock):

This is contradictory to the Wikipedia definition of a ripstop fabric: "During weaving, (thick) reinforcement threads are interwoven [...]"
It seems that the warp/weft pattern is altered slightly to create the appearance of ripstop threads in these diagonal lines, that actually don't include any additional thread.
Anyone here to help me understand this? Seems like false labeling to me.
Had no problems with my kammock whatsoever, just wondering
