using a full-zip hammock like a peapod or similar
*Sorry, I made a mistake in the title, it should read 'full-zip sleeping bag'*
Hi guys, I'm pretty new to hammocking overnight and I was looking for a 1-2 season bag and I stumbled across this https://www.vango.co.uk/travel/planet-50.html which has a two-way zipper which goes all the way around the feet (more like a square bag than a mummy style). I'm thinking that I could thread a hammock through the bag (like the grand truck bag) and all I lose is most of the use of the hood and bug-net. My hammock has no netting of it's own, so if it's really buggy I'd probably just use the sleeping bag normally, but if it's that buggy it'll probably not be too cold. would it be worthwhile pursuing this idea or am I missing something really obvious?

I also plan to sew shock cord around the "head end" so as to draw it tight to you, getting a better seal.
I just got a TNF bag from my non-outdoors mom and it has sewn in loops on the foot end, so I'll use it as a peapod in fall/winter since it is a -10 to 20°F bag.
