So, I got a bug sock without zippers - It is one of the Outdoor Vitals bugsocks - 11'
The material seems decent and I like the bottom protector but i am having trouble cinching it up. I think this will go for any sock I get. I think I am just too short - I am in a Dutch 11' netless and I am 5'4" tall. Does anyone have any tricks on cinching up the sock? The videos seem really smooth in getting it up and cinched.
You will just have to scootch up towards the head end to cinch it. Not sure of another way to do it. The nature of those cinch type product.
Could always return it and look at a bottom entry (dutchware) or zipper bugnet.
Carry forth.

That's what i was afraid of. From videos it looks like i am just too short. I have been pulling myself up the hammock and then cinching it up from there. I just fear that one day i am going to rip the hammock :/Quote:

I like the sock with the zipper much more, although I’ve only tested it indoors so far I’m waiting for spring to see how it stacks against my zipperless bugnet (fronkey type) in the real world.
