Anyone have any issues getting a "knee ridge" with their XLC single layer? When I lay in the hammock I get a ridge that runs all the way from the foot end whipping down to the back of whichever knee is most medial in the hammock and it stops right around my butt. My issue is not really a comfort thing, I get a great comfortable lay in it but it creates a perfect little channel for cold air to get between my underquilt and hammock. All of me is warm except that one knee/calf/thigh area, I can put a hand to it and feel the cold air while I'm laying there.
I've tried bringing the foot-end up well beyond the routinely recommended 16" to exaggerate the effect and I get no change, same with how far up towards the head end I place my body. Head left and feet right and vice versa, no change. Butt scooched left, butt scooched right, no diff.
I've taken a picture where I sorta exaggerated the issue by pulling my heels back just a tad for visibility, but it shows what I'm talking about and where more clearly. Also it may look like I'm pretty close to the foot-end in the picture but I assure you it is just the camera playing tricks.
Dunno if it makes much of a difference but I'm 5'9" and 200lbs
