    New Skeeter Beeter Pro Design

    I just received one of the newly design SBPro as a replacement for my old where the tabs on top of the netting ripped out and the netting ripped by the zipper.
    I am planning on sleeping out in the backyard tonight with my youngest daughter. I just went outside to set my SBpro up and noticed the new design. Instead of grosgrain tabs for the loops to hold up the netting they now have elastic tabs. Also instead of just a one way zipper there is now a two way zipper which means now either end of the hammock can be the head end. I also noticed two tabs on the outside of the hammock body that seems to be to tie out the sides if you want to.
    Will post tomorrow with report of how the night out went as I have just made a poncho/liner UQ for it as well.

    Yeah, the netting on my SBP ripped right at the zipper. I've been meaning to repair it but maybe I should just ask for a replacement.

    Well I slept good last night with my new SBPro and my poncho/liner UQ. Only wore a pair of shorts and a sleeveless t shirt and had a fleece blanket. The temps got down to 61 degrees so it wasn't cold, but I do know I slept real good and comfortable. The only problem I had is that one of my shockcords for the UQ stripped completely and was only hanging on to the hammock literally by the rubber strands inside of the sheath. I will just get some new shockcord this week and replace both sides.
