Thanks for the info and photos, l have an 11" hammock and the xl Wooki, from my understanding as for my lay position is more of a centred into the middle of hammock.
The purchase of a regular Wooki might have been better suited because of the amount of shock cord l added with the head end.. simply to make the a new position of the insulation would be in line.
I tied a knot in the foot end of the fabric due to the excess fabric, after the amount shifting down ward for the new insulation positioning, the foot end ended up with some fabric bulk.. hence why a regular Wooki with a longer amount of cord at the head end may line up ok down at the foot end with no or little excess..... well for situations like this..... but really l am not overly worried about it, l will probably order a 3 season in a few months and purchase the regular.
Thanks, l will leave the shock cord on at the foot end for the give and for tension... then remeasure some rigid cord for the head end as to fit to a better seal.
Thanks for your help!
The wooki insulated area is not centered - it is offset to the head end by perhaps a foot or so if I recall
Good luck!

Before you buy a new Wooki, why don't you try hanging the head end lower? You might find that your hammock feels more comfortable that way. Or at least not worse. This would solve your problem. As I said, I hang all my hammock with the head end lower, which is why the Wooki fits perfectly without moving the insulation.
I do have the foot end higher maybe 8 or so inches higher... with no calf ridge or shoulder squeeze, l have based on my left shoulder level with the tie out to be my measurement and l am say 5"7.... l have slept outside in much this same foot head geo for over three years whilst using traditional UQ, this was my set up to go.... l only noticed when l set the Wooki up out of the box then lay in my hammock l realised l had no insulation under my feet?
l only thought about thinking up a method to mod the Wooki to unite with my bed time hammock lay position, l hadn't actually thought about changing my hammock position to fit the Wooki! Lol!...... Anything is possible.. l guess this could be achieved.
Thanks!
I have made several "Wooki style" underquilts, some of them was specially adapted for Hennessy Hammocks. I sew on some webbing with a little toggle on, to the side of the uq. It corresponded with the tie outs on the hammock and made a perfect fit! 20171012_132808.jpg
You can get a peek of it, in this film at the 17 min mark. It's in danish, but you'll get the picture...

Thanks for this information, I have eldorado, but my 345cm hammock as well, and was trying to fit the wookie on that one. It is still not 100%, but much better as in the beginning. The best tip is to put the head end of the underquilt to the head end of the hammock Not reversed !
I think there comes also the ridgeline to play the role, as the eldorado has longer ridgeline. I have adjustable one on my DYI hammock, will play more with that. Even my best try still had the wookie too much floppy on the shoulders.
TIP: I made small shoopie sling from zing it to be able to adjust the length of the foot end on the wookie for larger hammock. The head end I put fixed eye loop from amsteel through the original rubber band.
I made some heavy duty rubber bands by cutting some cross-sections of a bicycle tube. They stretch a lot and are as tough as you'll find. One or two of these (end to end) on each end, and the Wooki can be easily adusted to any 11' hammock....possibly even a 10' or a 12' too if necessary.
