    Time to Hang,
    If you want to use a spreader bar, try Jack's or Better.

    I'm sorry. That should have been Clark's Flex 180, not Clare's.

    Re: flex 180 insulation

    Hi Keith,
    The wide downmat is comfortable, warm and is locked in by the center fabric ridge of the Flex. You have a little leeway in positioning it for a diagonal lie. I had it when I bought my...

    Flex 180 insulation

    Beltwaybandit,

    I set up the Flex and shot a couple of photos with the downmat in it. You'll see how the fabric ridge locks the downmat in so that it doesn't shift laterally yet still allows you to...

    Flex 180 insulation

    Beltwaybandit,

    I should have added that my Downmat 9 is the wider model. I think it's 26 or
    27 inches wide. A 20 inch wide pad or mattress might slide out laterally (or you might roll off to...

    re: flex 180 insulation

    This won't be quite the answer to your question but you may find it helpful. I use an Exped Downmat 9 inflated to about 2/3 of max with my Flex. Very warm and doesn't slide out from under me despite...

    Re: Flex 180 Hang Technique

    Hi SmokeBait,
    The free axial rotation is only at the foot end, which has a gather at each corner. There is a single gathered end at the head. There are no side tie out points on the Flex. One...

    Flex 180 hang technique

    Hi SmokeBait,
    I'm still new to hammocking and haven't looked at whoopies yet but may at some point. They look interesting and seem to be very popular.

    Which Clark is best........

    Cdesmet,

    Got your PM. Here's a couple of photos of the Flex. Again, I'm 6 ft tall. In both photos, I could have pulled myself further toward the head of the hammock leaving more footroom.

    Flex 180 hang technique

    Thanks, Brute. It worked out well and I didn't even lose much hair scratching

    Spreader bar

    Thanks, Keith. That's what I'd hoped to hear. I think I'll order a JRB bar for my Flex.

    while sleeping or while entering/exiting it? I toss...
