I'm looking for a very light bug sock with no-see-um grade mesh for a gathered end hammock that is about 108" over all.
the lightest one out there is the one papa smurf makes
he uses tulle it's under 3oz and it's around $50 thats about the best deal your going to find ....
they don't come up for sale often
he also sells tulle buy the yard at a pretty good price
I saw the threads. I gotta learn to sew!Quote:

I haven't got it yet but it's in the mail. Dp hammocks sells a torso length one. It weighs almost nothing- 3/4 of an ounce. I will post when I get a chance to use it. Just sayin.
Oh, seven ounces or less. It seems that most of the production ones like ENO are more like 16oz and that is too much. A Warbonnet would be great, or one like Papa Smurf makes, etc.Quote:

I believe he has a Noseeum Bug sock in stock (well he did when I was emailing him 1 week ago) which runs around 8.5oz I believe that one is $65 plus shipping.
Gotta try one! I'm still looking for a full length one, but 3/4oz is ultralight :) Thanks for the info.Quote:
