Argh!!! About your wife indeed!!! Another great line from this forum.

Anyway .. the one I looked at was sewn as well as my climbing harnesses are. D-rings and strapping to the tramp material about every 12 inches. I don't know if they use Tenara thread or not, but the tramps (the jumping thingee!) are outdoors all the time so they must have some resistance to water and sun ... don't know about the longevity ...
