Hi, I have an XLC that's fairly new to me - I've only had it out a few times. I'm a left lay, so head right/feet left, and my preferred side to get in on is the left side. That way I get into the hammock, lay back, and I'm already in the right position. I've always done this with gathered-end hammocks. For my XLC, this would mean getting in on the same side as the shelf/footbox. HOWEVER, when I have tried this with my XLC, I absolutely cannot close the zippers on that side (the footbox side). The two zipper halves just don't want to come together, and I don't want to put strain on them. So I end up getting in on the right side, zipping up (easily), at which point I'm in a right lay, and then flip-flopping into my preferred left lay. This isn't a huge deal, but it's a bit annoying and awkward. Has anyone else run into this issue? Is it a matter of how I'm hanging my XLC? What side do y'all get in on?
