Has anyone had any experience with mosquitos and the WBBB 1.1 DL hammock? Can they penetrate and bite through the double 1.1 layers? I've had my WBBB since October of last year and haven't had the pleasure of dealing with the insects yet.

Not yet..........
The blighters have been out in their millions around here.
Not a single bite on me inside my WBBB 1.1dl.
It's bad luck to be superstitious.
I've got the even lighter BB 1.0 material in a double and not had any issues with skeeters in my neck of the woods.
Ive slept in swarms of skeeters and never have been bitten in my 1.1 dbl. And remember its not just the hammock they have to get throgh but the UQ or pad u use as insulation

Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.
Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.
I only had one bad experience with mosquitoes, and that was with my single layer 1.7, quickly learned about permethrin after that. My double 1.0 always protected me.
No problems here. I'm in my hammock now, there are Mosquitos swarming around me as I type this.
no bites here either.
When it seems like the night will last forever
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And dream me a dream of my own

I use a 1.7 double and my wife a 1.0 double and we skeeter free. I also treat with
permethrin
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
