This is so tempting since I have 11' Dutch Hammock in the mail currently. Anyone who has one care to comment on it/reviews?

There are two on Dutch's site.

I made my own with material purchased from Dutch. Does that count? I love the design of the Fronkey net. It's also nice for me since I have many netless hammocks and I can easily transfer the same net to whatever hammock I choose for any particular trip. It makes for ready access into/out of the hammock as well as making it very easy to adjust your UQ should you need to. I like to keep a water bottle on the ground under my hammock and this net makes it very easy to reach down and grab it.

I use dutch made fronkey treated with permethrin, and i love it.

I find that i don't need to do up the bottom particularly tightly to keep mosquitos or blackflies out which is nice. Yellow jackets on the other hand seem to let me know if i've left the bottom open

.

One thing that i didn't know when i bought it was that you do not need a ridgeline to keep it out of your face, the top seam works adequately well to suspend the bugnet. That said i started using a ridgeline anyway because of the other benefits (more consistent hang, place for storage).

I think its great but i havent used anything else, so take my opinion with a grain of salt...

Does sound tempting!

I'm in - this is about a $10 discount. Thanks for the heads-up.

Looks like we need 6 more to get the $46.99 price

I'd like to get two of these, but I don't know anything about massdrop. I best go about checking that out eh?

<edit>Well, that was easy enough. Just committed for two. Why is there tax?</edit>
