Venom™ UHMWPE Ultralight Webbing

This is much too thin to be called webbing. I was expecting it to be like the Spectra webbing I used have that was as thick as mil spec nylon. This product is equal to grosgrain tape.

Apparently so. I have been using this for a couple of years for hammock straps. I love it. It smashes together over time, but an occasional re-wrap straightens it right back out. I swear I could pull a truck with this stuff, and it’s as light as a feather. I like that it doesn’t damage trees if i take the time to wrap it like a proper human.

Light, strong, secure in buckles and cams, and adds little bulk in seams. However, it is difficult to cut with scissors or rotary cutters, and a hot knife does not cut cleanly. Also, it tends to slip when sewing making clips or basting tape a necessity. My sewing skills may be the problem, but some RBTR recommended methods will help. I am using it in my current project and will use it in the future.

This is one of the most ideal weight to strength ratio webbing I've seen. I bought it as hammock straps and they've been working tremendously. I cut the 25' length in half and then sewed a loop into one end on each cut. I use the beckett hitch knot with my continuous loop hammock ends and it's working amazingly. Gotten some good use out it already and there's hardly any wear. Thanks RSBTR!

I was disappointed to see that this has been discontinued. Will there be a comparable replacement for this ultralight webbing?

My wife does the sewing for our DIY products. To date we have converted 2 down mummy sleeping bags into under and top quilts and currently converting a poncho liner into a spring/fall top quilt. We find it very convenient to shop RBTR. The material, and other necessary webbing and fasteners are top of the line. Very easy to order and delivered in a timely manner. Thanks for being there.

It's ultralight, got a nice tight weave and rugged appearance. Great for applications that need load bearing strength, or just the lightest weight. Due to the light weight, the webbing is less rigid and more pliable than other types, so applications that have fixed length will work better that those relying on a ladderlock or adjuster. Great for webbing loops, daisy chains and handles.

Ultralight ultra strong, ultra pliable plus super easy to work with!!!

Don’t hesitate. If you’re looking at this, get it. It weighs just over 2oz for this length and is super strong. I use it as my only suspension, tied around a tree and then a becket hitch to my continuous loops. It is easier to get it out of the knot than the lightweight webbing that Warbonnet has. I love this stuff

I'm using this stuff where grosgrain isn't strong enough or "cool" enough. Since this stuff doesn't have much structure, thickness or grip, it doesn't work well for hardware but does great at lightweight and strength (think handles and straps). Tight weave, slick feel. I love the color. Unlike other colored UHMWPE products that just have a colored coating (i.e. Amsteel), this is black down to the fiber. No color wearing off!

This ultralight webbing is very thin, very light, and very strong. It can be used for lots of applications, though I’m using it for hammock suspension and as part of an ultralight pack.

A few things of note. 1. The webbing is slick and doesn’t work very well if you are counting on friction holding it in place. (Luckily I wasn’t. Lol) 2. Because it is so thin, the webbing twists very easily and can behave in a more rope-like manner.

That being said, I will be buying more. As soon as I save up for a splurge. ‘Cause this stuff is soo expensive. But it’s just too cool! The whole bunch of it hardly weighs anything at all.

Tree strap Lightweight and high-strength type prototype
I got Venom UHMWPE Ultralight Webbinng. The lightest weight was 24mm in width, 1.2m in length, and 32g in weight (including one soft carabiner), but when I made it with the same specifications,
The weight has been reduced from 32g to 27g, and the strength has been increased to twice the catalog value (equivalent to the φ2.8mm DCF line).

Was able to use my D rings on my hammock setup and did not slip at all afterwards week of use. I had heard that normal rings would slip.

I used this to make some tree straps... that didn’t suck. So far so good! It sewed really well. I was concerned that it may bunch in the machine, but it fed rather smoothly. I used Mara 70 and microtex 80/12 needles, same as I use with silpoly and nylon. Good stuff!

Venom UHMWPE Ultralight Webbing

Made hammock tree straps. Saved weight. Previous reviews are mostly accurate. Nuff said.

this stuff is unique, its lighter and far softer than standard 2" webbing. the weave is looser than standard webbing also. Though i don't think it has any stretch in the threads, it does have mechanical stretch and lateral movement as a product. this mechanical movement makes it undesirable i think for a number of tasks you would normally use stiff 2" nylon for. i used it to make ultralight day pack shoulder straps and its pretty great for that. it was fairly easy to sew a layer of 3d mesh to it for the shoulder strap but frankly it is so soft all on its own that i dont think the mesh added much in comfort.

I am delighted with how light and strong the 2" webbing is. I find that I need to be careful to keep it from bunching up on the tree, but really that is not so terrible, even if the effective width is a little less than 2 inches, it is still plenty wide. I made mine into four identical straps about 6 feet long with a sewn loop at one end.

I purchased the 2 Inch venom webbing for hammock straps. I was initially concerned about the 2 inch width, and the 1 inch webbing was sold out. I needed the straps for an upcoming trip and bought the 2 inch. I think this works even better. I made my straps by sewing a loop at one end and leaving the rest of the strap flat with a hem and bar tack on the flat end. I use a marlin spike hitch to knot the webbing at the desired location. My hammock’s continuous loop goes around that knot for a sturdy connection. Because the webbing is so light, I can carry two extra long straps to allow for varied distances between trees (I used one 25’ section divided in half). My set up eliminates my whoopie slings and any other connection device. I believe the 2 inch webbing gives a better grip on slippery bark, or as in my most recent trip, frozen tree trunks with caked on, wind blown snow. Even 40 mph gusts and freezing weather didn’t move my straps. Very pleased with the webbing!

I’m using this as my entire suspension system, using a double sheet bend to hold the hammock gathered end and various different knots to secure the other end around the tree. Double the price of 2 ultralight tree straps with sewn loops on both ends, but I prefer the flexibility and having two 12’ straps. Still doing some simple testing of knots at different angles and weights, but sheet bend and becket hitching the working end after wrapping the tree and threading it through a standing end larks head are solid so far. The main drawback is it crinkles really easy, so you have to carefully flatten it when wrapping a tree and before making knots. I have not found it as slippery as some Dyneema warnings say, although of course some knots and hitches don’t hold.

The best to hang your hammock using a Becket hitch.

Used to sew ultralight hammock straps. Did a 3" box stitch and throw a Becket hitch on the other end and you're done.

Used it to hold a bridge hammock, no problem plenty strong

1" Venom UHMWPE Ultralight Webbing

Wow!

light weight deforms badly, barely 1" doesnt stay 1"

Kyle,
Thanks again for another great order. I finally pulled the trigger on some outdoor ink. I didn’t realize it’s not printed on both sides. Not the end of the world, but not something I took into consideration for a single layer hammock. I don’t remember seeing that listed anywhere on your sight. Thanks again.
