    bug net reviews

    I want to get a second eno guardian bugnet but they are tough to find right now. someone suggested I try a warbonnet bug net ...... anyone got a report on this or ........ the eno has a vert zipper which I like, the warbonnet website mentions a horz zipper? how's that work out? anyone have both? or is there another bugnet I should tryout for my eno double hammock?

    I have both, and have used both. I prefer the WB model, which does have a horizontal zipper.

    I've been meaning to post a review of it for some time now, so I'm glad you asked. I will try to get some pics over the weekend and get a review posted.

    I'm interested in the WB bugnet also. I need another bugnet for my son's hammock.

    so what's it like getting into the wb model vs the eno? I'm having trouble seeing the horz zipper giving much head room.

    I wonder if I could get a custom made model? one with a waterproof bathtub floor in it, big enough for a pad so when I do have to go to ground or use a cot I can use it there too?

    There's plenty of headroom because it has a shock-cord ridgeline that comes with it and holds it up. But no, it's not nearly big enough for a cot, IMO.

    I have a request in for a custom bugnet with the bathtub flooring. we'll see what happens!

    I've been wanting to do this to my eno guardian bugnet but hadn't found someone to do the sewing for me yet, nor did I get any material ..... so going this new route might be fruitful? I hope!
