    Lightest Hammock with Integrated Netting (and for kids)

    I'm looking for advice on the lightest hammock with an integrated mosquito net for children (not for use with an adult, but a child using it on their own). I'm fine with buying an adult size if that is my only option. My children are five and six years old and I'd be hanging right next to them.

    Thanks.

    I second the scout. My kiddos have those (ages 6, 6, 8, and 8) and they love them. They have even gotten to the point where they can take them down and pack them in their backpacks by themselves. I still have to help somewhat with the set- up, but it goes quick.

    I also recommend dh darien. Around 17oz and great customer service. Oh and they do custom work, so if you want a 9ft version for your kids to save weight, it can be done.
