    Who besides Superior Hammocks has zippers..

    Im looking for something that I can unzip the bug net to easily reach from each side to adjust my 3/4 UQ. It looks like Dutch makes one (double zip) but I cant tell if that is what Im looking for)

    I'd say that with the exception of Dutch's Half Zip and DH Darien, the vast majority of netted GE hammocks have zips on both sides. (Aside from HUG, Fronkey, etc.)

    If there's a "Double Zip" DWG hammock, I'm not seeing it on the website. Link?

    most hammock bug nets i know of have one continual 360 degree zip to where you can remove it from the ham body similar to the warbonnet. It just looked like Dutches was different.. dunno

    My SLD Trail Lair has a second set of pulls, so you can open both sides to fiddle. The net doesn’t come completely off, though — it’s sewn at one end. The winter cover zips outside the net (inside on the newer models), rather than replacing the net.

    OK I have that net and it has separate zippers for each side, and each side has 2 pulls that meet in the middle or can be closed anywhere along the length of the zipper for easy access. The zippers also work with either side of the net up, which means you can switch the asym lay from right to left and vice versa. Same for the top cover.

    +1 on the WBBB and Eldorado. The zipper stops on my Eldorado are positioned right at my shoulders on both sides so that it's always easy to find the zipper pulls when I want to reach out and adjust my UQ. It's as if they actually thought about it.

    Hemlock Mountain Outdoors has one model (the Red Tail) where you can choose one continuous zipper or "dual zip": https://hemlockmountainoutdoors.com/...edtail-hammock

    Seems like a good price for what you get.
