    Bug Nets

    I'm in the market, and have it down (I think) to two...Blackbird Traveller net, and ENO.

    I've read the excellent review done by angrysparrow on the Traveller, and the various comments I've seen on the ENO seem quite favorable, as well.

    So now, head to head, how do they stack up? Has anyone seen/used both?

    Not to throw a wrench in the mix, but if you are thinking of the ENO, save a few bucks and get this: Hammock Bliss Cocoon As far as I can tell, it's not much different.

    Personally though, I'd go for the Traveller net - much lighter I think (but I'm in the same boat as you - never tried either - so take it with a grain of salt).

    Recently got the Traveler Bug Net and it is very light and well made. Comes in a stuff sack with small shock cord and hooks. I believe it hooks out to suspension or trees and will pull nice and smooth. Did I mention light?
    Get it .... he is one of us........ and it is really light!

    I have the ENO net and modified it be cutting about 13" off the bottom. It just drapes over the hammock and has been bug free. I left the vert zipper in (for now) which makes for easy loading/unloading items into the hammock. I'm sure it still weighs more than the Traveler but it works for me.

    I have the ENO Bugnet for my M1966, the access hanging from the bottom was stuffed into the stuff sack and kept it of the ground. I have not used the other but am pleased with the ENO Bugnet.
