I have had good results with more expensive hammocks which are intended for backpacking. They include (1) a netting attached to the lower portion which forms a cocoon of sorts and prevents against bugs and mosquitoes and (2) a rainfly which hangs from the same cable but is not attached to the rest of the hammock and can be taken out of the way in good weather.
The brand I have had good results with is Hennessy (http://hennessyhammock.com/ http://hennessyhammock.com/).
I have not done hammock shopping in a few years, so maybe there are better, and certainly cheaper, options. For example, you are unlikely to need a bug protection or rainfly if you intend to use a hammock indoors.
Good luck!
- nickpsecurity 10y agoI appreciate all the comments but the Hennessy demo was some brilliant stuff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqg4x443RmM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqg4x443RmM I like how the entry/exit works along with built-in skeeter protection. Just wonder if the entry mechanism would let bugs in. Another is how much rain protection you get. Still need a rain tent or something? Or is it bearable humidity with what it stops?
- cema 10y agoNo bugs get in, in my experience, but I do not live in a very bug-infested place. Rain protection with the provided rainfly is somewhat inadequate, in my opinion: I would get a larger sized fly, maybe from a larger hammock (Expedition?) or simply cut from a large piece of material. The way it is attached is fine, in my opinion.
