    Mosquito Netting Sources

    Hi All,

    It is winter in the south so I am already looking ahead to summer (98F and near 100% humidity and only an intermittent puff of breeze).

    Thinking about an integrated mosquito net for my hammock. I already have one of noseeum, but much of the summer the choices is between a sauna inside the hammock, because all of the airflow is blocked by the noseeum, or opening up the bug net just to be a little cooler.

    Does anyone know a good source for some lightweight mosquito netting that I can attach a zipper?

    plans and sizing would be the same as my noseeum net, but would allow a little more air movement.

    Thanks in advance

    So you're not looking for noseeum? Only other netting I have used is nano netting from RBTR.
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

    I have an old (~10 years) mosquito net I picked up at Boy Scout camp one year that has a hex/honeycomb pattern weave and is more open than your run-of-the-mill noseeum.

    A quick google search turned up nothing very helpful. I did find a list of netting manufacturers in the US, but haven't had time to peruse it yet.

    Already have a bug netting made from noseeum. The problem with noseeum is airflow.

    Want more airflow than noseeum.
