I've had a chance to swing this thing in the pacific northwest a few nights now. It's my first time using a hammock with the mosquito netting. I had no problems with the alpine mosquitoes that we run into up here, but I don't know about the no-see-ums or black fly's. The hammock itself is really light considering the mosquito net is included (11oz), which made it great for a lightweight backpacking shelter. It uses a multi-cord system with a loop at the end for attachment. This type of setup is ok, but be careful about tangles, especially if you have to break camp in a hurry. I used a treehugger strap with light rope to hang from trees, and was very happy with the setup. The zipper, which runs the full length of the hammock, seems well constructed and didn't get caught on the hammock or netting material. For the price, this baby get's five stars, I haven't a more comfortable hammock this cheap since i left central america.
