    Question

    J Hess

    How should I interpret 1,000 lb braking strength? I am 250lbs….would this be strong enough?

    I also am wondering about the beckett hitch the other guy asked about.

    Thanks!

      Yes the 1.5 will hold your weight and should be no problem. Yes the straps will work with the becket hitch or the marlin spike hitch. You however will not be able to use buckles with the spider web straps.

    Question

    mhusmann

    Pretty new to hammock systems so not completely aware of the endless types of suspensions.

    I recently bought hummingbird tree straps (normal ones) and found that they are too short for some of the trees in my area (WA). From looking at them, they are 5′ tree hugger webbing (loops on both ends) attached to a fixed eye whoopie sling that is about 3’4” via larks head to one of the webbing loops.

    I am unable to get their larger size webbing which comes in at about 12’7” for just the tree hugger style webbing. Their hammock attaches to suspension via a kind of soft carabiner that is fixed to the hammock.

    With this in mind, I am trying to create my own straps at this point in order to suit my needs for some pretty hefty trees in this area. I notice you offer tree hugger style straps in 4′, 5′, and 7′ lengths but you offer normal straps (with just 1 looped end) at much longer lengths.

    Is there a general reason for this that I am missing? Is it because straps become their own adjustable suspension via various knots to a carabiner which clips to a hammock, whereas huggers are reliant upon another piece like the whoopie sling?

    I enjoy the minimalism of the huggers attached to a fixed eye whoopie sling via larks head idea, but feel that I am missing something important. I hope this all makes sense. Is there any way to get huggers in at least 12′? Does this defeat the purpose of a simpler (but also just as light) system that I am unaware of?

      Yes that would be a good choice, however may I suggest the gear aid bug mesh patch kit. This will cover a 3″ diameter and doesnt require any sewing.

    Slippers...

    coreycannon222 (verified owner)

    These straps work as they should but tend to not stay flat and roll up even on the tree. You jus have to pay attention and make sure they are flat on the tree if it bothers you. They slip a bit down the tree but I am used to the heavier poly straps that jus tend to lay flatter and grip more on the tree so no big deal. I ordered the 5’ length and I could see that being tight maybe 7’ would be a better length if you have bigger trees in your area. At this weight I’m going to get another set as backup for extensions if needed.

      Yes, all of our huggers have a sewn loop at each end. Our straps have a sewn loop at one end only.

    Strong lightweight webbing.

    Robert Edwards (verified owner)

    I like this for the weight and the ability not to soak up water. The only drawback is it does not stay flat after multiple uses. I have tried to roll it up flat after each use but it has become more difficult. This makes it not as tree friendly as other poly straps I have used. The 2 inch may be better but cannot use a sewn in Dutch clip.
    Still a great product!!

  8. Question

    michiel__swank

    So this webbing can’t be used with buckles because they slip. So it would be better to use a knot.
    Why not use a buckle and then secure the buckle with a falconers-knot for example?

    It’s easy release and you can still simply adjust te webbing. Or are there reasons, why this shouldn’t be done?

      The buckle slips with this webbing and we will only recommend that you use it with polyester webbing or the spider/poly webbing.

  10. Question

    Jay Swenberger

    I’ve been using approx 12′ long, 1″ nylon straps with sewn loops as huggers. To these loops I tie on a 12-15′ length of mule tape using a double sheet bend. A Beckett hitch then finishes to the continuous loop. This makes a lightweight and hardware-free suspension requiring only occasional replacement of the mule tape.

    Would this Spider Web 1.5 hold a sheet bend with mule tape with 200-250# suspended in the hammock? Are custom lengths available?

    Thanks so much,
    Jay

    PS: we love the poly/Spider straps with our Chameleons as well!!

    Poor Communication

    mistplacedhated (verified owner)

    5 stars all day for dutch gear products!!!
    But I think there is a loss of communication between emails and people building the gear.
    I will still continue to use Dutch Gear.
    Just sucks when you have a gift for someone and don’t have the time or patients to send back and wait for it to be done how I asked in emails or on the order.
    Spider 1.5 is awesome gear to have. Took me awhile to get the spike knot to stop slipping but ones you get it down (real tight) it’s not going anywhere!!
    Shipping, and processing my orders is always fast, way faster than most companies!!
    This last order is a Christmas present, and my order asked for loops sewn on the ends there wasent any. So now he’s going to have to knot the spike on the end. Not a big deal until he has to undo a knot in this stuff( practically impossible).
    Great products, awesome customer service! Wish this wasn’t the only time, or would be last time somthing like this happened to me with dutch.

  12. Question

    billhaegele

    Dutch, i have two of the 7 foot spider web huggers, these are great. My one concern is the length, in the PNW the trees can be rather large. I am thinking of carrying an extra 4’ hugger that i can larks head on to the 7 foot hugger when needed. Seems like a very low weight option to add flexibility. Do you see any reason this would not work?
    Thanks

  14. Question

    Jeffrey Houston

    I have the blue with black stripe 2.0 straps. They held a becket hitch well but now constantly slip. It may be due to them not holding their flat shape anymore . Is this still a problem for the 1.5s?

      Honestly we have never heard of this issue before with the 2.0 or the 1.5. Without actually seeing what you are doing it is hard to see what the cause might be. Please feel free to email me at [email protected]

  15. Question

    Scott Springer

    I assume Cinch Bugs are considered a buckle style hardware, therefore do not work well with Spider Web 1.5? also is the weight for a 15′ pair 45g?

      DutchWare Gear

      That is correct that the cinch bugs will not work with that kind of strap. You will need to go with a polyester strap and or the spider/poly strap. The weight for the 15′ straps without dutch clips is 53.6 grams.

  16. Question

    Travis Bear

    Is there a math problem?

    The webbing is described as weighing 1.5g/foot, which means a pair of 15′ straps should weigh 45 grams. Yet the listed weight for a pair of 15′ straps is 53.6g.

    Seems like either the actual package weight should be 45g or the webbing should weigh 1.79g/foot, not 1.5g/foot.

    Am I missing something?

      You will not be able to use adutchable clips with this webbing as it will slip.

  18. colinleath

    very nice

    colinleath (verified owner)

    I’ve been using the 15′ straps for three+ months now, setting up and taking down my hammock daily at least a third of that time.

    the straps will bunch up, but I smooth them flat with my fingers before packing them, and that seems to keep them nice and flat. I use the hammock hitch on my amsteel continuous loops– no hardware.

    Felt a bit foolish spending more on this than on my hammock (I just put a knot in the ends of some 1.0 hexon or nylon for that) but this is the lightest suspension option I’ve tried. And the knot doesn’t slip and remains easy to undo.

    In my current spot I’m actually using most of the 15′ of strap, but generally I think most people will most often use far less of the strap–

    These guys are crazy light! For those questioning whether they hold knots well, I can attest that they do. The only issue is that they are so thin that they can be difficult to untie after the knot is loaded. I haven’t had too much issue with beckets or j-bends, but larks heads can be a pain to undo. I’ll be buying some longer straps in the future for when my huggers are too short.

    Really great, with only one small issue

    richmanspencer (verified owner)

    I use these regularly, using a carabiner as the spike in a marlin spike works great and allows me to attach the continuous loop off my hammock to the same biner.

    The only issue I have, which a couple of other reviews have noted, is that they tend to curl up after being used and have to be manually flattened out. Not a huge deal, but not so great for the trees.
