Chameleon asymmetric users , do you find it necessary to use the side pullouts to keep the bugnet off your face or is the shoulder sufficient enough to just push it out without using side pullouts ?

I have quite a bit of slack on my ridgeline. It might keep it off your face, but without the pull outs it feels a little tight

I got them but find that I don't need them. Maybe a little material floppiness, although for me nowhere near enough to bother with extra stakes and shock cords... less stuff to maneuver around, trip over on 2am trips to the bushes, and possibly interfere with UQ setup or tweaking. YMMV.

I do not use them and I have not had any problems.

I wish I could use them because I do find that there is a little bit too much material flopping around but it is like the blackbird; the underquilt seems to fit worse with a shelf being pulled out. I have used them and not used them on cold nights and while it ended up being fine I agree with having less stuff to worry about.

I no longer use them as my pillow keeps the net off my face.
Sometimes I use them, but more often than not I don't. I never really understood the attraction to hammock pull-outs.

When I use pullouts at all, it's usually only the head-end one. That keeps the bugnet off my face and opens the hammock up to make it a bit easier to enter and exit. I really haven't had much of an issue with this interfering with my UQ.

I mainly use mine when I have my tarp in it's skin above me and just want to stop the slight breeze from pushing the netting towards my head.
