Those of you with slinglights, are you carrying the optional headrest?
It really adds to the comfort but I'm having trouble figuring out how
to conveniently transport it. The chair itself carries beautifully by
just buckling the sleeping bag straps at the bottom and the lid
closure straps at the top over its frame - can get it off and into
action quickly and easily at rest stops, and it carries tight with no
flapping or rattles and it doesn't interfere with pack access.
Clipping the headrest onto the frame results in a secure ride but it
sticks out and probably will interfere with the rain cover. Doing
anything else (that I've thought of) results in it riding loose and
rattling, or in considerably more inconvenience stowing it. I'd be
interested in what others are doing about it.
I tried the REI slinglight clone in the store the other day, it's not
bad but isn't as comfortable. Didn't look like it would be quite as
durable either. But it was certainly a lot more affordable.
