I have a small hammock seat where it is just a short/narrow hammock where you hang the foot end low. It doubles as a gear hammock and backpack cover ...cool piece of kit.
48" long 40" wide camo EpsIlon. Sew double stitched channels into each end and run Amsteel loops (tied or spliced) through each end and girth Hitch to give you a loop at each end. Weighs 3.25oz! Rolls up smaller than a tennis ball.
Well....
I just hooked it to my tether and wrapped it around my back. COMFORTABLE! You can sit in it like a SitDrag and expand the material up behind your back and way down your legs. I was using it without a bridge and just turning inside of it.
You would have to make sure you didn't snag on the material. It isn't silent but it isn't noisy like canvas at all. I didn't have my rock harness yet.
Because it is 48" wide and extends in front and it wraps around you there is zero hip pinch.
Definite possibilities.
I was thinking about making one out of fleece to be silent. I might still try but it won't be as small, light, strong or as easy to move it around for comfort. I would probably reinforce fleece at the channels with some webbing
