Interesting name (lol) and design. Definitely looks like it would keep MOST of the bugs out but I have some doubts on if that would REALLY keep ALL the bugs out. Seems like you could have gaps pretty easily and for a person who hates bugs (like me) 1 bug may as well be 100 of em. To me it feels a little unfinished..which is the point i guess - to save the weight of the full zipper. Ill be interested to see how folks like this. I am sure it will fill a nice niche for some folks.
“The word hammockable (Meaning: two trees that are the perfect distance apart between which a hammock can be hung) is not in the dictionary, but it should be.”
Thats an awesome idea.
When the wife asks, I simply say "Shug made me do it".
I like the looks of this. I don't like the zipper on most integrated bug nets, so this is definitely a step in the right direction. Right now I'm playing around with a Fronkey style net, but I really like the idea of the net being integrated into the hammock.
This. Some more clever out-of-the-box creativity from Dutch. Might be just the ticket for those who like the freedom of a Fronkey-style net but want to shed a few grams with an uncomplicated but integrated hybrid design. Bravo.Originally Posted by NarlocB

Cool idea, I love the inclusion of hooks for a peak loft, I sewed a couple on to my Dutch netless. Would love to see it as an option on the netless hammocks in the future, a small hole in my hammock tells me I'll be ordering a new one in the next 6 months or so.

Interesting concept.
One area that I'm somewhat surprized that I haven't seen anyone play with is magnets for attachments. (I've mostly seen zippers and velcro)
I had been pondering a bug net where one side was sewn, and the other side attached using a number of small neodymium magnets sewed into the hem.
I'm curious if the extra lenght of bug net helps....
LOL - probably depends on which side of the hammock the bugs are coming from ;-)
I was actually thinking about magnets earlier - but I just read sectionhiker's review of the Katabatic Gear Onni backpack, which uses magnets, and he mentioned how he'd had problems with them interfering with his compass previously. I don't know how much of an issue it was for him, and I haven't tried it out, but it was food for consideration.
Magnets tend to be heavy and expensive. Guessing thats why they are not really used.
“The word hammockable (Meaning: two trees that are the perfect distance apart between which a hammock can be hung) is not in the dictionary, but it should be.”
Grizz (and WV?) has used magnets on his bridge bug nets.
Pretty sure both of them had a bit of magnet dual so to speak on cleverness and creativity with the concept.
