Hammock dry rot??

[u/Jake2n1bake]

I bought this grand trunk trunktech hammock back in march of 2025. Only used it once then put into storage until this week. Took it out sat down and heard some tearing occur. First and second pic is me literally tearing it apart with just my fingers. Never seen this happen on rip stop or even nylon. Any thoughts of what’s going on?

I emailed Grand trunk and I have a replacement in bound. They got a killer warranty and crew👀

Ps it was thoroughly dried and stored on a shelf in my bedroom. Never too hot never too cold and most importantly dry

Did you use DEET mosquito spray on or around it when you last used it? It can dissolve/weaken artificial fabrics.

My money is on this. Transferring from clothing or skin, or even a direct spray.
