    Drip rings

    I have just received my WB Blackbird 1.1 & very nice it is too. According to a sheet of paper in the packaging it's supplied with the latest adjustable strap buckles. Will I need to install some type of drip ring into the system, or will these act as a drip ring?
    I am unsure, as its the 1st time Iv'e used adjustable suspension....

    The buckles will act as the drip rings. I have been in sideway rain and never had the hammock get wet from the straps.

    The buckles will work as a drip point very well.

    I have nothing to add really but if you like to have many opinions then I agree that they will work just fine to keep water from invading your hammock.
