    I am. The zipper is higher than my other hammock and seems to fold over a bit when unzipped.

    I’ll try pulling the tie-outs and put it under more tension. I assumed it was the extra material for the wide cut causing the extra hang.

    I have one of your netless hammocks in wide where I don’t have this issue but then again, it’s a different cut with no net or zipper.

    Do you have knotty mods on that wide netless? If so, do you think that is why you don't have the same problem? I have a standard width Chameleon and also not a fan of the fabric coming down on my face. The zipper is probably playing a role here. Too bad they don't have hammocks with zippers AND knotty mods.

    But I can just use a wide enough pillow to keep it at bay, really.

    I could use the tie-outs, but I'm not a fan of adding more lines to trip over or walk around. It can be hard to use tie-outs when indoors in many cases too. And when you don't carry a tarp, they need their own stakes that you wouldn't be carrying otherwise. So the pillow adds weight, but saves me some headache and from having to carry the tie-outs; and their stakes when going tarpless.

    Edit-I should clarify, that this is more-so a problem for me when I go topless.
