AAAARRRGG!!! The zipper on my SG Skeeter Beeter hammock just (about 25 minutes ago) had a total catastrophic failure! The slider is still in place, and in the dark w my headlamp, as best I can tell the teeth look OK, but it absolutely will not zip, that is the slider works up & down, but the teeth don’t engage.
I think that it is a design flaw, but in it’s defense, I have slept in the hammock at least 3 nights a week since around November of last year, so at least 72 times since I got it. And I get out usually 2 to 3 x a night, so a minimum of unzipping & zipping x 216. And I have it rigged so the netting is somewhat tight. I think though that if I had been using it on a thru, failure would have been at about month 2.5, and I would have been a bit, , , , , , annoyed!
BTW: HE, I now need that netting sock you offered a while ago.
Doctari.
