    Question Dutch Fronkey net

    I was wondering if Dutch Fronkey net endings (ridgeline) are closed by velcro or by shock cord?

    I got mine from BIAS and they're shock cord. I don't have much use for velcro - if it was made with a shock cord closure I wouldn't have bought it.

    Really? My 10' dutch-fronkey net just mitten hooks to the end and then slides down the end enough to seal itself.

    Hmm...I've got one on the way. I surely hope it has shock cord.
