    Improvement is great, but all new is so much better.

    Meet 1.8 oz AIRWAVE Hybrid - designed and woven from scratch by us with the single goal of delivering a radically new and unmatched next to skin softness.

    Redefining the phrase "feels like cotton"...

    Unlike standard nylon, AIRWAVE fabrics use a secret sauce called Air Textured Yarn. During processing, an air jet is used to create tiny loops in the yarn like the ones shown in the high-res image below.

    ATY yarn SEM image

    But what makes ATY yarn so special is that it combines the ultra soft hand feel of organic cotton with the high strength of synthetic nylon.

    Said another way, AIRWAVE is softer than everything else and every bit as strong.

    Like the market-first 1.7 oz MTN XL, 1.8 oz AIRWAVE uses our unique Hybrid weave construction with a much thicker, stronger yarn (135D) for the ripstop grid vs the base fabric (40D).

    The end result for you is a stronger, more rugged material with minimal increase in overall finished weight.

    AIRWAVE ZOOM HEX + BOX

    Combined with a brand new HEX + BOX ripstop grid pattern, AIRWAVE is also easier to sew (i.e. holds a crease well) while  reducing stretch and increasing comfort for load bearing applications such as hammocks.

    Typical end uses for 1.8 oz AIRWAVE include hammocks, rugged synthetic quilt shells, chairs, light duty bags, or any application where lightweight, strong, and durable fabric is needed.

    NOTE - If you're making a hammock and want to compare similar fabrics, see our comparison chart HERE.

Airwave Hammock Kit

This was a great purchase. Built the hammock in an hour with my kids and we are all loving it. Was easy to sew and it's a great size.

best fabric for DIAS shorts!

This fabric is fantastic for the LearnMYOG DIAS shorts pattern. It's durable, light weight, cotton-like feel, dries really quickly if wet and no 'swish-swish' sound when you walk like most durable synthetics. Grab this before it's all gone as I believe it's not going to be carried anymore. Sad to see it go as it's a great fabric.

Pleased

I bought 5 yards of this to make a bedroom hammock and have been sleeping in it for a year and a half.

It's comfortable and feels more like cotton than nylon.

No problems with durability yet. 450ish nights, plus plenty of chill time.

Thanks for your review Adam! We're happy to hear that the 1.8 oz AIRWAVE is working perfectly for your bedroom hammock! Love to hear that it's been holding up great after so many nights.

Very lightweight and strong

I used it to make some gamebags and an ultralight backpack. Very satisfying with the results

The 1.8 oz Airwave is great for that! We'd love to see photos of your creations, be sure to tag us on social media!

Nice solid material

I made a hammock out of it, really strong material with high friction, feels like laying inside a pike blanket. I think it's ideal for cold nights

We're glad you found a hammock fabric perfect for your needs! This is definitely a go-to one for making your own hammock. We'd love to see photos of your creation, here is a link if you'd like to share any https://forms.gle/Veg5WY3ArRUr1A3x5

Airwave is great

So, living in a hot and humidity environment, I wanted a hammock that was breathable. That is what I got when I made it with this. As others have stated, it's not very slippery, when you get in it, you tend to have a bit of a harder time moving around if wearing much clothing. Living in Hawaii I sleep in just shorts, and don't use an underquilt very often either. Usually just a sheet over me. Sleeping in just shorts allows me to move around as much as I want. This is my nightly Sleeping hammock now days. Since making my first airwave hammock I have had 3 other friends ask me to make them ones from it as well. I didn't seem to have any problems sewing it, and its so dang comfy. Love it, and can't wait to go crawl into it for the night.

Thanks so much for the review Charles! We love the feel of Airwave too, it's so soft! If you have photos of your hammock in Hawaii we'd love to see! Happy hammocking!

Great feel

light and strong, but soft enough to use against skin

Thanks for the review Nathan! This AIRWAVE truly has a cotton feel, it's so soft!

Much better than 1.0 oz Hyper D for hammocks...Airwave actually does breathe.

I initially purchased 1.0 oz Hyper D to sew a hammock, but 1.0 oz Hyper D does not breathe at all...think of it as a hammock made out of Saran Wrap. As a second try I purchased 1.8oz Airwave and night and day difference. Airwave is VERY breathable and actually feels more like cotton than nylon. It is about twice as bulky for the same size hammock compared to the 1.0 oz Hyper D, but the absence of the "Zip Lock bag" feeling made the 1.8oz Airwave more than worth the extra bulk.

Thanks for the review Jonathan! We're glad you found a fabric that works better for you as a hammock, this airwave ripstop is a great choice. Enjoy!

Cloned my favorite shorts

I made a lighter pocketless version of my favorite heavier weight nylon TNF shorts. This fabric sew beautifully, not slippery or fragile, be sure to heat treat the fabric ends, they do fray easily- a quick “lighter sweep” will do.

Glad this material worked well to help you make your own shorts! We'd love to see photos if you care to share, Enjoy!

Love the feel

I made a bridge hammock from a pre cut kit with this material. I loved the feel so much I purchased some to double layer my ENO and Yukon hammocks to give them a softer feel and a pocket for pads.

Amazing!

Just what I've been looking for! I love the feel and workability of this fabric. Quality stuff. Probably my #1 favourite for gear bags and sacks.

Great Summer Hammock

When I first made the hammock back in early April it was still chilly enough outside for jeans and a fleece top and my first impression was that it was difficult to slide around in the hammock to get comfortable. Since then, I've used it several times in much warmer weather with gym shorts and a t-shirt and been happy with it. This past weekend I took it to the beach and this material is absolutely fantastic as a summer hammock. Getting into it dripping wet with just a bathing suit and the material doesn't "stick" to your skin. There's just enough breathability to allow your backside to dry while keeping you cool but not chilly. I'm really looking forward to using it the rest of the summer for all my trips to the lake.

Nice fabric great price

I made a nice pair of light weight shell pants out of this stuff. They're great! The texture beats typical nylon ripstop, makes for less noise when I walk, and this stuff is very easy to sew. It doesn't walk all over like slick nylon.

Good, but not soft

This was advertised as soft, but it really isn't soft. It really isn't scratchy either though.

In any case, I wanted a tough fabric to use as a top layer for some picnic blankets, and this material fits the usage really well. I hemmed some of this fabric on top of some 1.6D hyperD to make some lightweight, compact blankets that are waterproof. Best of all, you don't feel like you are sitting on top of a plastic tarp, but actual fabric.

Great feel easy to see

Love this new fabric. Very soft to the touch and easy to sew.

Soft hand but a bit heavy

I like the softness and tactile feel of the fabric - should be a great product for hammocks (which is my intent for the fabric) but not sure of other uses. In the world of ultralight fabrics, it is slightly on the heavy side but overall a great product for the right end use...

1.8 Airwave

Absolutely love this product. So much so, that I purchased another 4 yards for a 2nd hammock. I love the fact you do not slide around as easily.

1.8 Airwave hybrid

This fabric has a great hand feel, sews incredibly easy and stretches in all the right places. As others may have mentioned, as a hammock body this fabric doesn't allow you to move around as much as other fabrics. I am wondering if airwave will "break in" after a few camping trips?

Hard to believe this is a synthetic fabric

Very soft with a lot of drape! Not satin/slippery soft, but that should be obvious from the product description. Quite breathable, definitely apparel ready. Minimal stretch, even on the bias.

Excellent Material!

The unique ripstop pattern & lovely color will make my project a truly unique weighted blanket.

DIY hammock

I've made a few hammocks now and the Airwave is definitely my new favorite material 1) to work with and 2) to sleep in. Very nice feel and good breathability.
