    New Zipper Configuration

    This is still in the works, but the early results are promising, so we wanted to share. Check out the video below!

    Credit goes to a customer by the name of Paul for inspiring us to improve upon our existing design. It got our wheels turning, and when we landed on this, it was something of a "duh" moment. It really just seems obvious. Why hadn't we thought of this before?!

    Let us know what you think!

    Thanks for the vid - very interesting. Please bring one of these to Merchant's Mill Pond for the Halloween Hang. It would be nice to examine it closely.

    You got it! The one in the video is my own, so I will be using it that weekend. I'd be happy to show it to you!

    Hoplip's tarp will have some competition for being the brightest object at the hang.

    The new zipper placement is a nice improvement

    I'm sorry to say, her tarp has got me handily beat both in terms of square yardage and brightness. I'm certain that her tarp was bathed in radioactive material in order to be that bright. I used it as a landmark to help me find my way to the restroom during the night last year. It's no joke. And yes, I'm envious of it!

    Thanks, I'll be sure to show it to you in a couple weeks at the Hunger Hang!

    So is the new zipper now being used? I have seen two videos on the Envy-S, one in a garage and the one with the link above. Am I correct in assuming the one above is the newest?
