I am looking for a mesh/netted hammock for backcountry jungle use. Here in Canada I have had no luck. All I have found so far is poor quality imitations that would likely fall apart the first night.
I have used HH in the past and currently own a Claytor Jungle hammock. They have been great hammocks and I love my JH. I would like to try a netted hammock over my nylon versions though for reasons of staying dry.
A netted hammock dispenses moisture better rather than hold it like the nylon versions.
River crossings and other similar water dumps have proven to me that sleeping in a saturated nylon hammock over night can keep you cool but somewhat uncomfortable come morning, kind of like a three year old with damp pampers. A mesh hammock merely needs a good shake and wipe before suspending it under the bug net.
I am looking for somthing compact, ring fastened ends, and likely in a poly blend to prevent stretching or mold.
Any reply's and info would be greatly appreciated.
Plus, has anyone tried using an underquilt or pod system on a mesh hammock? figured it might work with the numerous attachment points in the mesh..
