"This is another of those rare, "well,
it's about time; why didn't
I think of that? masterpieces of functional design..."

Attaching the Overcover
To
attach the binding loops on
each side of the OverCover,
retract side elastics inside
the UnderCover, thread elastics
through the binding loops, pass
elastics back through the same
holes and reattach elastics
to ground anchors. Fresh air
is available through the air
hole near the occupants
face. Changing position in the
hammock acts as a bellows and
automatically pumps fresh air
into the air hole.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT BLOCK FRESH AIR HOLE.
Condensation which may form
on the inside of the breathable
OverCover will wick through
the uncoated fabric and evaporate
into the dry air moving between
the OverCover and the rainfly.
The OverCover may also be released
on one side and tucked between
the netting and the OverCover
on the opposite side to expose
half of the netting and help
block wind from one side.
Attaching the Overcover
The OverCover is intended to maintain higher temperatures inside the shelter during dry, sub-freezing temperatures. The OverCover is placed over the hammock netting with the air hole at the head end of the hammock and secured under the perimeter of the UnderCover. The elastic loops at each end of the OverCover pass through the small holes for ropes and hang onto the the fly tensioner hooks.
