I recently purchased a WL snipe hammock for my winter hanging.
This is the longest hammock I have every owned and I must say one of the most comfortable.
No calf pressure, no shoulder squeeze, very flat lay and can lay on either side or my back.
While setting this rig up on my deck, to do some 20 degree overnite testing, i noticed my UQ and UQ breathable protector were way too tight.
The UQ pressed so tight against my back I felt I was loosing some loft.
The UQP was also so tight I believe it was compressing the UQ.
With a little trial and error I ended up adding 18" of shock cord to my UQ and 12" to the UQP.
Last nights testing went very well @ 23F the only other thing I learned was a Thinsolate stocking cap is not warm enough for these temps.
Need to find my lamby.
For those of you going to a longer hammock I highly recommend you do a little backyard testing / tweeking to your kit.
It is well worth the time.
thanks for reading.
