So, did you decide on #5 zippers, where another maker uses the lighter #3 zipper, from feedback from the field, maybe your expedition-company connection?
And are these zippers YKK?
PS: Am I misreading the angle in the photo, or is the final angle for your (polyester) hammocks closer to 45 than to 30 degrees?
