Darien question

It looks like the Darien has two separate zippers that meet in the middle on that one side. Can it be made with a single, non-separating zipper with two sliders?

I believe Dream Hammock recently updated the design to have two zippers that meet in the middle- similar to the Raven. They used to have one zipper with two sliders that you could position anywhere you like. I'm sure if you contact the Smurfs, they would be happy to work with you to get the zipper configuration the way you want it.

The Darien has one full length #3 or #5 non-separating zipper on one side of the hammock. The zipper has 2 facing sliders that zip toward the center and can be positioned anywhere you like along the hammock. The opposite side is sewn directly to the hammock body. The is the same design as it originally introduced back in 2012.

I think the website description is the source of the confusion. It describes the Darien zipper as having "zippers on one side that meet in the middle." The Sparrow and Raven also have zippers that meet in the middle, but they cannot be positioned anywhere else along the zipper.

I'll put this on the list to fix over lunch time. Thanks
