    Side Entry Hammock w/ bug net

    Hey guys,

    What are some good backpacking hammocks out there that have a side entry with a bug net. I know there is the Warbonnet Blackbird but are there any other good lightweight ones?

    Thanks!

    Check out the Switchback.

    Don't argue with the alligator until after you cross the river.

    I believe all of the Hennessy models are now available in side entry.

    The Claytor is an often ignored option.

    Not terribly light weight though, right?

    not terribly lightweight, no. But as far as a DL with integrated bugnet it is comparable:

    Claytor: 31oz (with suspension)
    Switchback: 29oz (unrigged)
    Blackbird: 24-40oz (depending on fabric and suspension)

    Thx guys, after a brief look around it seems like the blackbird has more bells and is lighter too

    I think the Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter (Ultralight model, not Pro) is both the lightest and cheapest one available for sale.
