Hi Y'all,
I am trying to save pack space for backpack camping, bikepacking, etc. I've got warbonnet hammocks, and added a Simple Light Designs netless hammock and bottom entry bugnet that's 0.7oz/yd. I'd like to get a NS50 one if possible.
I know Ripstop by the Roll (RSBTR) have a Bottom Entry Bugnet MYOG kit but I want to buy something ready made as I don't have a sewing machine or the time and patience at the moment.
I know Butt in a Sling (BIAS) have the Nano Buginator SUL, which is basically what I want to buy, but it seems they are nearly defunct and I'm wary I'll be throwing my money in the bin.
I've done some googling and looked at a bunch of vendors. I can't find any that are a simple bottom entry bugnet. I've found some that are close but have zippers etc.
Are there any other vendors that make a product comparable to the Nano Buginator SUL?
Should I just buy from BIAS? (anyone recently done this and gotten what they bought)?
I saw Dutchware brought out his 0.71oz/yd Cloud 71 fabric, and from what I've read it packs like 1.3oz. So I'm guessing NS50 will pack smaller. I care about minimising pack-size most of all, so if there's any fabric that will block small insects (noseeums), and allow airflow and visibility, that packs the smallest - I'd like to know, and I'd like a bugnet that gets coverage with minimal material so it packs smaller. From my research I think the bottom entry bugnets vs the slide-over 360 bugnets use the least material and pack the smallest.
I saw Arrowhead Equipment make the Half Bugnet (HUG), designed by Derek Hansen. Does any vendors make a NS50 version? I can't find any.
Thanks,
BigBenny
