The Mountain Series is a hand selected collection of the highest performance fabrics/materials on earth - each one optimized for applications ranging from tarp/shelters, to quilts, hammocks, packs, and other high-end outdoor gear.

Looking for wider, stronger, and more durable? Meet 1.7 oz MTN XL Hybrid - the latest addition to the Mountain Series line and built from the ground up to outperform similar weight nylon fabrics.

We also did something we've never done before. We call it a Hybrid weave, and essentially what it means is that compared to most standard ripstop fabrics, we use a much thicker, stronger yarn (120D) for the ripstop grid vs the base fabric (40D).

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

Lastly, we utilize a diamond hybrid ripstop grid pattern. This makes the fabric easier to sew , increases comfort for load bearing applications (e.g. hammocks), and tends to extend the overall life of the fabric .

Like the other fabrics in our XL line, we've custom woven 1.7 oz MTN XL Hybrid to be WIDER than standard fabrics at 68" versus the more common 60" width.

1.7 oz MTN XL Hybrid is great for widebody hammocks, rugged synthetic quilt shells, chairs, lightweight bags, or any application where lightweight, strong, and highly durable fabric is needed.

Extremely pleased

Very strong and soft. I mad a 11’ hammock and it hangs so good. Not a very slick material but I like that. I would highly recommend especially for the heavy hangers ( I’m 270#).

1.7 as hammock fabric

If you like a firm lay, the 1.7 is one of the best. In my opinion, it gives a similar lay as the 2.2 hex70 in a lighter package. Thus and the 2.2 hex are my favorite hammock fabrics.

First DIY Hammock

Great customer service, order came 2 days early. Love the feel of the fabric. My son has already claimed this hammock as his own. He is actually looking for hiking this summer.

Good stuff

Like most people here I got this to make my own hammock. I am a big dude, six three 270 lb. This fabric holds me with no squeaks or groans from the fabric. Used it several nights and it is very soft and comfortable. I see it holding up very well.
