I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, it added a lot of warmth to this past trip during the heavy winds and semi chilly nights. If I had zipper track crimps at the end I would have made it so I could put it on/off but as it stands now I just unclip the whoopie from my elephant trunk, feed it through the opening and quickly reattach the whoopie to ET.
i do have to say thank you to all the people that participated in this thread http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=26502 without the open discussion it would have taken me longer, so i do appreciate the help and hopefully this has returned it for future sock DIY projects with others.
if you have any questions, i would happy to answer them.
