    That might be.... I'm wondering how long though? at $1 or 2 it might be worth trying out.

    My experience is that on the first or second deployment, I get a snag. After trying 4 different stores, I had the same experience. I gave up.

    I bought and have now used in the wild, one of the Hammock Gear mesh sleeves. I do love it.. it's pretty easy on/off, however, I was disappointed that on my very first run it's already got a big tear on the cordlock side. I tried to be careful, but I wish there was a bit more reinforcement on the large mouth end. Need to take a closer look at it this weekend to figure out how to fix (I am NOT a DIYer, so this will be a challenge!).

    I do really like it though!

    Sorry to hear that. I really abuse mine and haven't had any rips on any of them. Thanks for the note of caution.

    Reach out to HG... they'll probably repair/replace that.
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....
