    Who has the lightest hammock with bugnet on the market?

    Right now our hammocks are running around 2 lbs with suspension. We have Dutch's beetle buckle straps and HG bugnet hammocks around 2 lbs. Can we beat this number?

    I'd have to weigh mine separately, but my hammock is 19.6 oz and my stakes, straps, tarp ridgeline and storage sack are 11 oz combined, so well under 2 lbs for hammock and straps alone. I don't really go super light either. That is a 1.7 MTN hammock with standard cinch buckles and Warbonnet poly straps.

    It's a DIY and also almost 12' long. If your good with going down to 1.2oz and 11' or shorter, you could get significantly lower.

    Integrated full bugnets have zippers. Zippers add weight.

    It might be worth considering a Netless Hammock with a Fronkey (bottom entry) style bugnet to save weight.
    During bug season, I typically take an extra-wide (67") netless 1.7 MTN XL hammock, fronkey bugnet, and Dyneema huggers with Whoopies for well under a pound and half. But you can do much better than that with a standard-width hammock made from lighter fabric and a lighter fronkey than mine. It's conceivable to buy stock and still get to about 3/4 of a pound total weight if you're small and don't weigh much.

    If you must have an integrated bugnet, Dutch makes a hammock with a partial bugnet called the "Half-Wit" you might want to consider. No zippers, but also not a full bugnet.

    My DH Darien made of MTN 1.2 with 2x 9' Kevlar straps in its bishop bag weighs 14.8oz.

    Related discussion here.

    Of course you can go with the extremely light Cloud .71, Monolite, etc, but I worry about durability with those. I also have a Hexon 1.0 Half-wit which, with Kevlar webbing suspension, weighs about 11oz.

    My lightest integrated bugnet hammock is also a 1.2 Darien. The cloud fabrics are lighter, but there are always trade-offs. Even having gone ultralight, I have switched back to a 1.6 hammock because it is just more comfortable to me with a little less sag. You have to pick and choose where you want to loose weight in your kit. Sometime the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

    I had a wide Darien in mtn 1.2 but tore it through user error, very nice hammock. If you stick with hexon 1.6 or mtn you should easily drop a pound, particularly with lightweight straps, with a hammock from almost any company. I would definitely avoid the ultralight fabrics, particularly if you do multi day trips.

    Not a netted hammock, but the lightest I have is the Dutch Cloud .71 which weighs in at 0.41 pounds (185g) with the suspension. I've hung in it enough times to know that it's not going to be a legit camping hammock, but I take it along as an extra "comfort item" when I'm tent camping to have something to hang from. https://lighterpack.com/r/avm25v

    I think Trailheadz makes the lightest options now. According to their website, the Poltergeist weighs 8oz with a 200lb weight rating. And their Banshee UL is 11.5oz with a 275lb rating. I have a DH Darien in Mtn. 1.2, and it's 13.5oz.

    Definitely, when doing anything more than a 1- or 2-nighter with easy bailout where failure is not an option, something in the 1.6-1.7osy range would be my choice.

    How did you deal with the 1.2 Mtn failure? Backup air or CCF mat?

    @Peeeeetey, the lightest hammock with an integrated budget on the market, that actually campable. Is the TrailHeadz PoltergeistSUL. Mine weighs in about 8oz. Lighter than your cellphone.
    Poltergeist Review

    The next lightest would be the Banshee UL. My Banshee comes in at 12.5oz with a ridgeline organizer and peak loft.
    Banshee Review

    IMO I usually take the Banshee it's quite possibly the most comfortable hammock I've owned and slept in. It's more durable than the Poltergeist stretches where it needs to and is firm in the other spots. 10.5x58" finished dimensions John & Karen really did a great job removing weight where it needed to come out but doing so without sacrificing overall use and comfort.
