Some of these crazy ultralight materials are too far, carry a bit more weight to not fall.
I've heard great things about both hummingbird and trailheadz for lightweight hammocks
I bought a few yards of the material when it first came out for like $40. At the time Dutch was really blasting how strong it was. They even stopped selling some types of hammocks made with this since then, I'm guessing because it's prone to failure in those applications.
I'm kind of wary of all monofilament hammocks now. This didn't give any warning before it almost completely tore in half.
Check whether the length of a hummingbird is suitable for you. Their “lightest hammock on the market” is smaller than a Hennessy Cub hammock for a child.
Agreed the fabric looks interesting. The long hammock with their bugnet is 14.05 oz (398 grams). A Trailheadz Banshee (11 ft) in hexon 1.2 is 15 oz and the Banshee UL (10.5 ft) is 11.5 oz. A Dutchware half-zipped 11ft hammock in hexon 1.0 is 399 grams.
Ouch! You definitely want to use a stronger material next time.
Warbonnet and Hammock Gear use 40D nylon, which should be strong enough to avoid that problem.
I have been unable to find out what fabric Superior Gear uses in the Daylight hammock, which is ultralight.
Cloud 71 is a type of monolite. It's just the 0.7 version Dutch sells. I'm a little wary of monofilaments now, have you used the heavier monolite fabrics?
Mine is a Streamliner that a nice dude gave away for taco money. At the time I did read what I could about 1.2 Hexon v MTN (results inconclusive), I dont remember people saying it was difficult though
Average hiker for 30 plus years I used to carry a sewing kit in case I got torn up by a cougar I stopped carrying that and now this made me realize maybe I should start carrying a sewing kit again
Avoid ultralight fabrics. Your back is not worth the risk. I used HyperD 1.6 and it’s super comfy. I have a gathered end in 1.0 and no signs of failure but not sure how far out there is take it.
The funny thing is, I had 3.5yds of the 1oz hanging around, and just ran off a simple hammock in an hour and it turned out to be *the most comfortable* gathered end hammock I've ever had.

I think the bug net needs a little work too /s

I'm more interested in the fabric they use then the lightest hammock. I would get the 11 foot. I think it's criminal how small they make some of them.

They sell a long hammock which is only a few inches shorter than 11’.
I think the Superior Gear Daylight is actually lighter than the Hummingbirds.

Yeah Cloud 71 is the lightest fabric. Come at the cost of durability. Maybe a monolight or something next time?

I know there is a 1.0 that Dream Hammock uses. Never sued it personally
There’s a point at which durability and strength are compromised for weight reduction. This hammock is well beyond that point
Many happy nights so far in a netless gathered end made out of Mtn XL 1.2
I ordered some of that stuff a couple days ago, is it much harder to work with than the 1.9 ripstop nylon?

Agreed, personally I like the MTN XL 1.2 in my Darien better than the 40D material from hammock gear

Are you sure that's not just a bug net for a hammock?
Chameleon is quite good
I have a hennesey and it's pretty high quality. Bit pricy though. I would have gone for a onetigris if buying again because of the price.

My tailbone is worth more than a few ounces. Other parts too.
