I may be too big for my Hennessy Expedition... even though I fit in it just fine. I'm 6' tall, 230 lbs. Mrs. Hennessy told me to get an Expedition because of my stout size.

Problem is, it is difficult to set it up so that the velcro closure of the hammock opening doesn't cut under my left leg. Feels like a rope has been drawn tight under my calf, and sometimes causes cramps.

I've tried pulling the asym strings out real tight; tried very tight ridge line, and somewhat sagging ridge line; tried sliding up toward the head, sliding down toward the foot. Up toward the head works best, but I can't go very far, and I end up sliding back down. Can't get away from that hard edge of the opening.

I have the weather shield installed... foam and shell works well, no problems keeping warm down to 35 degF. I have not used it without the shield.

Could the hammock be out of shape from the shell?

Or, am I just too big for a Hennessy?
