    Lightest Hammock option with bug netting

    As stated I'm looking for lightest options for a hammock with an incorporated bug net. Not looking for weight savings in TG or BQ but rather the hammock itself.

    I'm currently using a HH Hyper light w/out any mods.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I mostly go netless, but I do carry a 1oz sea to summit head net. Figure the rest of me is covered, same as hanging in the Halfwit. I very rarely need to use it, though. Depends on where you are, I guess, I'm mostly in the mountains.

    I would look at the Weight-Weenie Micro from BIAS.

    I would go with the half-wit over the dream darien. AFAIK dutch will allow you to select 1.0oz Hexon where Dream only does 1.6oz fabrics. You can save about 4oz there

    The Dream also has a zipper on one side, where the Half-Wit has none.

    You could add an Arrowhead HUG net to your light hammock of choice. But if you always want the net with you, just as well have it always attached.

    Third. Not necessarily the lightest option, but an awesome retractable full-time option.

    I'd vote for the hammocktent 90* Gamma UL. If it weighs anymore than the others, that is substantially offset by the comfort. Caveat, you need to be less than 6 foot tall, or long if you are lying down ;-). Luke used his on the PCT so it is definitely trail worth too.
