Your inner does appear to have some extra sag to it. Mine is the full mesh and seems to sit a little better. Possibly due to the fabric weight? Less wind pressure? I’ll try and get some pics from the same perspective as yours. A big concern for me was feeling claustrophobic from the inner after having the single wall duplex which is also quite a bit longer. Honestly, I’m more comfortable in the SS knowing I have a condensation barrier, which is a pain in good ole’ humid Virginia. I’m 6’ and have size 14 feet, so I was often thinking of my foot box getting soaked in the duplex.
Haven’t seen any sewing issues yet. The seam construction seems much more sturdy to me than the duplex did to me, and no loose tape edges! I did notice some mildly crooked sewing on the floor to mesh seam, but that’s being a little picky and I’m sure those materials are hard to manage on a machine. The fly stitching looks awesome. I haven’t thoroughly checked the Velcro tabs yet, will do so.
Looks like you added some Zpacks guyline? Nice touch. I always liked their line feel and miss the visibility difference as well.
Thanks again!
