warbonnet needs your opinion

1.7 SL - no bites
1.7 DL - no bites
1.0 DL - no bites

But one real sleepless night last June in the double 1.7 with seemingly thousands of mosquitoes buzzing around my head all night outside the hammock.

1.1 DL and no bites.
About 25 nights, all with UQ but some times were with a 2/3 UQ that left my legs exposed.

I agree with the "marketing" statement above. Of course you can market, too. Wait a week and go through this thread and put together some numbers. Something like, "In a survey consisting of 93 hammockers representing 185 different Warbonnet hammocks used a minimum of 236 nights, there were zero mosquito (bug) bites through the hammock fabric." You can assume everyone who reported has at least one hammock and has used it at least one time unless they report otherwise.

Then again, that may be exactly what you are doing... smart guy!

I just spent 7 nights in my double 1.0/Yeti on a Shenandoah National Forest/AT hike last week with lots of skeeters and had 0 bite throughs....the biting gnats/flies OUTSIDE of the hammock, on the other hand, drew blood on a consistent basis. Deet was useless due to the constant rain....my WB was a blissful haven!

I have the dl 1.7 no bites. I will be going to the swamp in Florida this summer will have to let you know more then that will be the true test.

Nothing yet from the 1.7 dl traveler and nothing over the weekend with the 1.1 wbbb but to be safe today I treated the wbbb with Permethrin since my spring summer hammock

I have a BB 1.7 double and I live in salt water sketter heaven (or hell depending on how look at it). I never had a skeeter bit thru the fabric. I did start treating mine late year with Swayers Permethrin to be on the safe side but it was more because some chiggers go in the hammock when it was on the ground while I was setting up camp one time.

1.1 DL... no bites, but I have yet to use it in warmer, more humid weather.

BB 1.7 DL. No Bites. I point and laugh at mosquitos. They hate that.

Traveler 1.1 dbl. Just got a set of new glasses, progressive tri-focals and boy were they hard to get used to. Anyway, I saw a Skeeter land on the bottom of my hammock and then after try my arm. She (y'all do know the blood suckers are female right?) failed at both because the attempt to penetrate the 1.1 dbl bent and broke her biter.

I used the 1.1 Double extensively in heavily mosquito-infested Georgia and Alabama summers, with no bottom insulation whatsoever, and never had a single bite-through.

Edit: To address Clark's other idiotic claim about durability, my 1.1 double was used almost every weekend for two years while I lived in the south, and has gone out many, many times out here in Colorado, and the only place it's shown any signs of wear whatsoever is on the cord for the wing tieouts, which is easily replaced. It's bomber, and doesn't weigh a ton, unlike some other, overly-complex, hammock systems out there....
