    I sold mine but never needed the ridgeline. That said, the handles are tough enough to handle it if you wanted to use it as an experiment. If you DO opt for the holes I'd also put in a tiny set of...

    I have the Z-liners that I use for both the Vertex and the NX-270. The velcro makes them hassle-free and gathered up nicely. Someone mentioned huge gaps but I didn't have any. They are good down to...

    The Vertex works on the 2-person vertex hammock well enough but excels on the NX-270 and it's single-hammock brethren. It also has the velcro to close it off at the ends but that won't work on the...

    I used continuous loops and a titanium hook/whoopie sling set-up for my NX-270. Super quick to set up and easy to adjust. I got the stuff to convert my Vertex over to the same but never did.
