    Help Choosing Trail Winder Length

    I'm a tall-ish guy at 6'2", and I have an 11ft Dream Hammock Darien. Which length asym Trail Winder would be best for me?

    I'm the same height & have the 10 foot version & it works great for me on my Trail Lair.

    Go for it!

    Both of my Dream Hammocks are also 11', and my 9' Trail Winder works great with them. I'm sure the 10' version would also work well.

    Help Choosing Trail Winder Length

    I'm 6' even and have a standard length (9') TW that fits great on my 11' Dutchware netless hammock. The insulated section covers me head to ankle. If the 10' version has a correspondingly longer insulated section, you might want to go with that. If the insulation is the same size, I think either one would work for you.

    Jared will cut the insulation a bit longer if you ask him. He made me one with the insulation 6” longer. And it wasn’t expensive. I would not go longer than standard for the total length though.

    I think you'd be fine with either 9' or 10'. Do not get an 11' Trail Winder if you have an 11' hammock. I did so when I ordered mine and it ended up being a pain and I ultimately sent it back to Jared and he modified it down to a traditional 9' TW.
