    Going without a bugnet or topcover on the Chameleon, How are the zippers?

    I am looking to buy a chameleon but I have to buy the components piece wise.

    Without the topcover or bugnet, does the zipper bother you when you're hanging?

    Zipper, what zippers. Guess it doesn’t bother me.

    Surprised no one else seems to have the issue but I find the zipper digs into my legs when I sit in the hammock like a chair, simple solution is to just fold 3-4 inches of the side fabric over itself and then I don't feel it anymore. Perhaps this happens to me because I'm a heavy guy (250lbs).

    Laying in the hammock zipper doesn't bother me.

    Same experience here @ 180lbs with a wide. Not an issue for me because I did not intend to sit in it much. The lay is fantastic, just like my momma’s arms when I was an infant, IIRC.
