DemostiX - I agree with your statement about the draft collar taking on too big a challenge. It won't be foolproof but for me at least it's a stop gap measure (pun intended ) until alternate UQ attachment methods are developed. My plan is to sit back and let you do the hard work of developing and testing that new system first.
One concern with the approach you suggest is that it may require sewing within the body of the hammock. In his book, Ed Speer says that shouldn't be done for risk of compromising the hammocks strength. Then again he also says never to use any fabric lighter than 1.9oz and many have gone on to show that 1.1oz works fine if you're not a big hanger.
