Seeing that it slowly warms up I wondered if anyone has tried to sleep the 'wrong' way round in the 250? That way the insulation pockets would be on the feet while the upper body stays cooler. Any experiences?
Thanks

Being TOO hot is certainly a concern here in South AL. Your idea makes sense to me and I'll probably give it a go next spring. The weather forecast is for mid 30's here tomorrow night so being too hot will not be a concern!
I dont have the 250 but I do have a 200(no poles).........I have done what you are talking about when it was in the mid seventies and could feel a slight difference between the two ends. I was cooler with my torso in the foot end of the hammock and my feet in the head end. It was not not and day difference but there was a difference.

Unless they've changed -- probably not -- the NX-250 has redundant zipper pulls on the bug net and weathershield (4 and 2 respectively) that make egress from both sides easy when you swap head and tail end. I'd miss the pockets and sewn-in hand loop, though.
With both NX-250 and a Tropical which puts the pockets at the ends of the bed, I'd agree there's a difference in warmth, without having tried the end swap on the NX.
Zippers should not be a problem, yeah the fly is attached above you head then, but shouldn't be a problem. Will try as soon as it get's warm here.
