    I’ll be shopping your 12 foot insulated hammocks soon. I’ll have to decide wether to get sewn in underquilt or snap in underquilt
    Among other choices and decisions.

    Thank you for making hammock nirvana

    Awesome!! Yes, tough choice! Optimizing for simplicity and weight, or a bit more versatility.

    I'll say. Laid out all our gear to air out last week. 20* HG Econ and Incubator, 20* Wooki, 10* EE Revelation, 15* SG insulated hammock. I should've taken a picture, but the SG insulated hammock just looked so much thicker than the others.

    If I was lucky enough to be shopping for one, I think I would go with the snap in. You can remove the UQ to clean or dry. Currently I am sleeping indoors in hammocks without any insulation because it is toooooo hot and the cool on my backside actually feels very nice. It might be possible to snap in different degree UQs for future considerations and use.

My guess is, SG wants satisfied customers & would go to some reasonable lengths to make things right or at the very least, address your concerns/complaints. I'd give them an opportunity to respond and go from there.
    Danny and I had chatted and the response wasn't positive (I'll chalk that up to a bad day) so we agreed that I would send him pictures. After not receiving a response from the email I sent, I wanted to know if I was making more out of it than simply cosmetic blemishes. In the end, he agreed to switch it out and I look forward to getting my replacement.

    Contact vendor via email and phone. Important to maintain a cooperative relationship rather than an adversarial relationship.
    Although the stitching looks sloppy, this hammock underquilt and net (when you get it, did you pay for a net?)—will probably perform admirably in the field. And that is the ultimate goal. In other words- The proof is in the pudding.

    If it were me, I’d go so far as to request completely new gear, and nothing seam ripped and resown. I would even offer to split the difference in cost with the vendor. Maybe vendor can resell old unit as a “second”

    Sewing curved surfaces is not easy, and the sewer probably was tired and swamped with orders. Stuff happens.

    I’ll tell you a story. A friend of mine, whose mom is now a nurse, got a job when she was 18 years old, sewing socks in a hosiery mill. The line she worked on was called “Thirds”. All the new girl sewers worked this line.

    After six months she was promoted off of the “Thirds” line. She asked her supervisor, what “Thirds” meant.
    Supervisor said all socks on “Third” line were supplied to mortuaries-funeral homes. Think about it, the dead don’t care if their sock toe seam is a bit crooked.
    Now that job has been eliminated. As the modern knitting machines, knit entire sock.

    Good luck, my friend
    Your quest for hammock nirvana, will require cooperation on your part as well as the vendor.

    I’m thinking bout getting a Superior Hammock with sewn in underquilt or maybe a snap in underquilt, now that they offer a 12 footer!

    It should be against the law, for a short guy to own a 12 foot hammock.
    We chatted first with a lot of pushback that he was having a hard time finding qualified help to meet demand. We agreed that I would send him pictures for his opinion, but after not hearing back for a week and a half, I wanted to see if I was just being too picky. The intent was never to through anybody under the bus, but I feel like this is an open forum to get feedback. He has offered to replace it. For the 15 minutes that I spent in it, I could tell right off how warm and comfortable it is. I look forward to getting it back and spending some time in it.

    I don't believe that there's a structural issue, however, I think beautiful gear matters and I try to make that happen every time. I can honestly say that this stitchwork is not the norm for us, but again I'm sorry that we fell short. As I offered in my email, I would be happy to send a return label so that we can replace this unit with a correct Superior Hammock. I truly try to take great care of every customer. Thanks again for giving Superior Gear your business! We'll make things right!
    Best,
    -Danny
    Thanks Danny. I look forward to getting it back and glad that you are standing behind your standards.

I love not needing to adjust my underquilt! Thanks again Danny!
    Awesome! Glad you like it!
