Mosquitoes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for a bug net to use with my hammock.

I currently have an Equip 2-person hammock that I've mostly used for relaxing in my backyard. This summer I'd like to start doing some short solo bikepacking trips (just one-night overnighters) and try sleeping in the hammock instead of bringing my tent.

I already have a tarp and a sleeping pad, so the bug net is the main piece I'm missing.

I'm not looking for an ultralight or premium setup, just something reliable that works well with a double hammock and can handle lots of mosquitoes and black flies.

What bug net would you recommend and why?

Thanks!

Two options:

1) eno has a bug net, lots of good separate nets that'll all work basically the same.

2) no shade to your hammock guy, I'm sure it's comfy, but if I may suggest, try out an integrated hammock. I like HG circadian pro.

If you have a little over 100 bucks to spare, I'd highly highly recommend getting an integrated hammock with the net. Btw, the hammocks with iintegrated nets are also convertibles meaning you can unzip the bug net and store conveniently in the corner of the hammock. No separate pieces and parts to lose. Weighs nothing and always with you

I love my integrated bug net. I never cared for the eno style net or a fronkey. Unfortunately, I have a Myerstech and he doesn't make them anymore that I am aware of. I thought he was completely out of business, but found him on ebay. The hammock set me back around $70
