Topless

**Ukeman1949** · 03-06-2018, 23:57

Newbie. Love the Chameleon with a top. However, when sitting in it as a chair I haven't been able to figure out how to hold the top up to the ridgeline without it falling on my head. I don't want to use a clip that would damage the material.

What have you folks come up with? Suggestions?

Many thanks.

Bind a couple of hobby magnets into the folded ends of a short length of grosgrain ribbon; they are plenty strong and work great as a retainer when folded around the material and the ridge line.

Unzip the side you sit on and flip it over.

Sorry for the horrible drawing but I made a couple small contraptions with grosgrain. Loop sewn at one end so it slides on the ridgeline and kam snaps at the end of the loose ends. I roll my bug net up and snap it in. Has worked great for me with two of these on my RL.

Sewing button magnets into some ribbon is a great idea, cowboy!

Wouldn't this fit under the category of too obvious!!! Thanks. I'll try it.

I got it. Again, very creative. I knew I would learn some things from you folks. Fantastic.
