Cloud 71 Fabric Weight Test
Cloud 71 is an unbeatable ultralight fabric perfect for your camping gear needs. Whether you're looking for hammocks, bugnets, or other cloth equipment, you can rely on Cloud 71 fabric to give you the support you need without the weight you don't.
While this demonstration displays a weight capacity of over 1,000 pounds, we still list the weight rating as 200 pounds for safety purposes.
We wanted to test our Cloud 71 fabric to find its breaking point. What we didn't expect is how difficult that would be! In this video, Dutch and our team perform a weight breakage test to determine just how strong this material is. They add rolls of fabric to a Cloud 71 hammock to demonstrate its durability — and they keep stacking up!
What makes Cloud 71 fabric so unique is its combination of incredible strength and low weight. Weighing in at just 0.71 ounces per square yard, Cloud 71 is a 20-denier nylon monofilament. This transparent, bugnet-style material is perfect for hammocks due to its supportive double ripstop. You can also use Cloud 71 fabric for other projects or backpacking equipment, like bugnets. Currently available in colors like Moroccan Blue and Coyote Brown, Cloud 71 is perfect for your next backpacking adventure.

Jonathan Jones –
How would you compare the durability of this material to the hexon style fabrics? I see it’s strong from that crazy video, but I’m curious how it holds up to abrasions? Wayward keys falling out of my pocket and ending up under me when laying in a hammock comes to mind. (I know that’s a stretch but it’s the first example I could come up with)

Dave Gantz –
Hexon 1.6 is our most abrasion resistant fabric, but all of our fabrics are lightweight for backpacking purposes. We don’t suggest these fabrics come into contact with any sharp edges like knives, keys, cat and dog paws, thorns, etc…

I love this fabric !! I haven’t been treating it gently and have no snags or tears. The air just passes right through it. So light and so strong… it’s amazing !!! I’m buying more and I’m not even sure what I’m going to do with it.

Insanely light, wonderfully transparent, and stretchy!! I knew I liked some stretch in my hammock from a previous UL 1.0 that had always been my most comfy hammock. Just got a netless in the C71 and after 3 nights I have to say this is the most comfy hammock out of the many I’ve tried. The stretchiness does make it a little harder to get out of. My guess is that I’m going to have to watch it closely for stretch marks which doomed said previous 1.0, so I expect the duration of use to be limited. (I’m 190 lbs.)

5 months of daily use. I think i got the seconds 1.1 oz/ sqyd from diy gear supply to last much longer, as in at least 1 year.
If used with an air mattress on the inside, it would probably last much longer.
What i loved about the fabric was being able to see the ground through it .
I’m now using a Decathlon 1person hammock ( $15 ) and though it’s only 9′ / 275cm, it’s been working well. I’m 6’3” 188lbs

Question
layne_hermansen –
How would this perform for a bug bivy compared to noseeum mesh?
Compare breathability, warmth, mosquitoes biting through fabric drapped on skin, condensation, etc
If good answers would consider asking Borah Gear to make me one.
Thanks

This mesh hammock fabric is much stronger than our other bugnet fabric, but otherwise will perform similar to bugnet fabric.

What degree of practicality does the DWR coating provide if used as a bug bivy? Mist? Light ☔ rain? Brief thunderstorm ⛈️?
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Watch Unwatch Flag for removal
Dave Gantz –
The DWR will help keep the fabric from absorbing moisture. Since it is mesh, it does not provide any waterproof function.
