Wanted to keep the threads separate, but when I hung out on Saturday, the el cheapo PFD (lifejacket) I use to cover those %$#&* knobs protruding up from the old vario stand had shifted.

I was in the Treklight Double and it sagged a lot more than the cotton Bliss in a Bag that had been hagging there before. (I just use the Byer's micro-ropes on the stand - great for keeping in the Bug Out Bag discussed in another thread.

I was too warm and comfy to get up, so spent the rest of the night "resting" on the knobs...turning sideways helped.

Has anyone come up with some good insulation/covers for these knobs? Pics? Note to others: when viewing Vario Hammock Stand online, make sure you order the newer model that has the knobs on the side.
