    I've been swithering over which quilt to get for a long time and I'm now glad I have been as this is exactly what I've been looking for. A very simple and effective solution to what can be a pain at times.

    I don't suppose we'll see a multicam version of this to go with the multicam XLC? I'd happily settle for brown if there's no plans for one however thought it best to ask first.

    Thanks,

    Gordon

    I hope you can get rid of the up charge for a mirror lay.
    Any word on the new CAMO?

You could possibly make it static for a specific person and model hammock, but if say a heavier person gets in the hammock it could possibly stretch more and maybe that could stress the quilt. Maybe if lots of people mod it to be static and there's no issues with the quilt fabric tearing then we'd look at omitting the rubberband down the road, that is certainly possible.
    Can the rubberband be substituted with 1/4" shockcord(kayak decking)? Still make a loop and attach the same way?
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    Camo is making progress, most recent sample I have looks pretty good...similar to Highlander from a distance color-wise

    The mirror image versions are custom one-off versions that are made order and we need to charge extra for that

    I don't think so, the MC epsilon fabric is quite pricey, and you need alot for a Wookie so the retail price would need to be pretty darn high to cover it.

    Nice idea true enough , to have a custom uq that's made to fit my xlc but to have to pay extra for the mirror lay version is a bit petty imo, just saying, there are quite afew left lay hangers out here and we get punished for it at checkout everywhere we go,,Why?? And the -it's custom doesn't really fly with me, no offence, i think my xlc is a solid piece of gear and i call it the tank, just dont think i should be getting nailed for being a left lay hanger.

    Possibly, I have not looked at any silicone options though, we just used what we have, they have worked pretty well on the Lynx so far.

    The Wookie does not seem to move on it's own at all

    EPDM rubber might be a good option besides silicone. Its stretch more like regular rubber and doesn't seem to rot.

    I cried when EPMD broke up. One of the great rap groups.
