Removable net/OC using RBTR zippers

Thanks for putting this together build looks great. Did you get a final weight?

Is it possible to add another set of sliders to the coil? So, one set on each side of the hammock.

Yes it's possible. Really there are several different configurations that can be done. Just need to figure out which works the best while still being manufacturable.

Weight of each part:

Net (.67 used) 4 oz

Overcover (1.55 EPSILON) 6.5 oz

11.5' Hammock Body (1.55 Epsilon, 1.0 HyperD with multibuckle suspension, bishop bag,a nd RL organizer) 20 oz.

You already hinted at this, but do you think you need such a large triangle to use the 240" RSBTR zipper on an 11' hammock. If each side is 11' long you have a total circumference of 264" (11*2=22, 22*12=264). I imagine you would HAVE to use a triangle (unlike the XLC) to make up the extra 24", but you said you had 10" of overlap using the large triangle you used.

A large triangle like that wasn't required, but is a feature I put into all my hammocks. (It was actually harder to build this hammock accounting for that triangle) If I had gone all the way to the peak like the XLC I wouldn't have had a lot of overlap.

I prefer the large triangle simply because it makes it easier to manipulate the zipper over the RL of the hammock while laying in the hammock. I even do it on hammocks with non-removable nets like my recent HyperD Tie Dye Hammock I've built myself dozens of hammocks, and have the features I prefer pretty much narrowed down.
