    So is the wbbb xlc built to be head left? I am currently not using the bug net or the winter cover. Just using it as a traveler indoors. I guess I was under the impression that the net/top cover were switched inside out to change the lay direction.

    I sleep in my knickers. How much extra insulation?

    That's true. And you can buy a Wooki in standard lay (head left) or reverse lay (head right).

    Sorry for the edits. Just want to be clear on my thoughts. Ok. Great. Am I correct about the hammock itself? It is not built for left or right lay until you add the top cover/bug net?

    After re-reding your response, I understand. I will continue to try both lays to be sure. I sleep in my bed on my right side and I feel that’s what is drawing me toward the head right lay.

    The updated version of the BBXLC (Oct '17) is designed for laying in either direction with a reversible top cover/bug net. Models prior to then used a head left/feet right configuration by default. However, Brandon would accommodate requests for head right/feet left configuration upon request.

    If you sleep on your right side, you might find that you prefer head left in the hammock, so that the fabric isn't in your face.

    I would support all who say 20° UQ. You have the XLC, so easiest thing is to get the Wooki 3 season. I use that for everything from 11° (lowest I have gone with it so far with no wind) on up to summer hanging here in Maine. Never had to vent it. I have the Scandinavian Wooki for when we get silly cold. I would run the 20° if I was inside for sure.

I have a 0° Wooki +2oz overstuff hanging under my bed-hammock indoors about 9 months of the year. Only when temps are 80° an higher I have needed to switch to a lighter underquilt.

    You also don't need to worry about the rubber band wearing out. Warbonnet will send you a new one if that happens, or you could replace it with some shock cord (which is what I have done).

    In my opinion, the best thing about the Wooki is not the "set it and forget it" part, but rather the perfect fit (no gaps anywhere!) and the fact that you can lie diagonally without feeling any pressure on the head or feet...
    Can you post a picture of the shock cord replacement on your Wookie. I am very interested
