View Full Version : Switchbacks - assymetrical or symetrical?
I'm considering switching to a Switchback! (Lame humor, I know)
Inquiring minds want to know:
Are the Switchback hammocks assymetrical or symetrical?
I'm refering to the original cut of the fabric or the way it is gathered, folded, sewed, etc. (not just having assymetrical tie-outs that pull unevenly on the hammock).

Hey Mike,
Actually, the Switchback & LightHiker are both cut as parallelograms. The pull-outs open up the hammock using the slack material created by this design. Hope this helps.

I am assuming a rhomboid parallelogram (?) Pretty sweet, I have admired the switchback since its launch. There's just something about it...

All sides are not equal, so it's not a rhombus.

So, which diagonal is favored? Head to the left and feet to the right, like a standard Warbonnet Blackbird, or the other way?

Hey MAD777
Head left, feet right.
