It double thickness or double coated hard mesh. Not sure which.
It is twice the thinkness of hard mesh.

its really thick, super heavy, extra coated hard mesh. it for all weather situations but is impractical. it takes forever to break it in the right way and once you do the all weather capabilities go out the window. 7D hard works just fine

No, it is twice the thickness of hard mesh. And it doesn't take forever to break in, for me it takes a few days of use to break in.

I like it but I think it is worth getting 2 pieces of hard mesh, it is almost the same price.

Well, I find cata eaiser to break-in than hard. It gets soft quicker. I love how it breaks in though

gigo is right on the money, and it is also coated more. I personally love it :love:

ya its rly easy to break in. u can either put some conditioner on before u string it up or spary some wd 40 check out the stech it has some stuff about breaking in pockets. i love cata it is great. if u like reg. hard it has all the same aspects in terms of hold etc... as that it is just much more durable

Once it breaks in, it feels more like soft mesh, or at least it did for me. It also gets wicked hold, although shot speed is a little bit slower. It also holds a pocket pretty well, even through weather. If you are going to be using this for summer, I would suggest 6D, it is my personal favorite mesh.

once it breaks in, the pocket moves by itself once it gets wet. 6 or 7D hard

Almost all pockets do that...

I have some black catapultion, and Its not what I thought it would be like. Its hard as nails when its dry, but as soon as it gets wet, you'd be better off with regular hard mesh or a larger diamond.

That's the third time you've said get 7D mesh and no one has responded. Stop.

Look at the mesh description thread.
