Comments about ENO Guardian Bug Net:
Takes a bit of mucking about to ensure that when you sink into your hammock, the pressure of your suspension materials doesn't force the Guardian's friction ends to open. Once you've worked it out, your net should stay closed at the ends right round your hammock. Looks like really significant stitching and quality materials. Time will tell.

Comments about ENO Guardian Bug Net:
Let me start off by saying that I love ENO's products; their hammocks are easy to set up, lightweight and durable. This bug net, although it does keep the bugs out when used properly, can be a headache to set up.
The net comes with a cheap, short ridgeline wire that can only be stretched between trees about 8 feet apart and also two separate tightening lines at each end of the net. Finding the right combination can be extremely tricky, and tiring in warm weather. Also, it gets very hot inside the net.
Overall though, the net does its job; it keeps bugs out well, and the netting is generally high quality. When inside, it really feels like a solid hammock sheltering system. It is a nice compliment to ENO's hammocks, just make sure not to fall out; the netting WILL tear.

Comments about ENO Guardian Bug Net:
I do a lot of hammock camping with my ENO doublenest, and the bug net has been a MUST on every trip. This bug net is easy to set up and does a great job of keeping the bugs out. The zip entry is very easy to get in and out of. Even on the nights where there aren't a lot of flying bugs, I store my boots in the bottom to keep critters from crawling into them during the night.

Comments about ENO Guardian Bug Net:
I bought this along with the ENO hammock. However most of the time I use a Hennessey Hammock.
The cinch straps, which close the ends onto the hammock leaders (once you've slipped this over the hammock) open easily with tension.
Thus, the mosquitos are waiting on each end, with a napkin tucked under their collective chins. They know an Eno dinner in the making when they see one.
You cannot see the zipper well at night, and it is a little bit of a struggle to get this "little darling" closed or open while lying down in the hammock.
The fabric drapes too far towards the ground. Causing the mesh to get dirty or clogged with forest detrius. Or wet in the rain.
This product could be improved, but the likelihood is a far stretch. A sad situation to say the least.
Buy mesh and drape it over the top, you'll save money and time in the long run. Lots of places sell mesh.

Comments about ENO Guardian Bug Net:
If you use your ENO out in the wilderness full of creepy crawlies, then this is something you really should own.
Setting the net up is easy, but take care not to tie the support line too high above the level of the hammock attach points, or the sag of the loaded hammock will open the cinch lines on either end. The result will be openings large enough for bugs to get in.

Comments about ENO Guardian Bug Net:
I decided to test my eno hammock system in the wetlands in my backyard before taking it on any real excursions. I was surprised that none of it came with instructions so i ventured to the eno website and found basic examples on how to setup everything. That being said, if you are using this product in mosquito infested wilderness I would highly recommend sleeping on a pad or sleeping bag. The bugs are capable of biting through the screen and bottom of the hammock if they are touching. This happened all along the right side of my shoulder, much to my displeasure the following morning. All in all a good product but could probably use some tweeking. Also the top seems where it hooks onto the ridge line could use some reinforcement as the netting was stretching around the thread causing small holes to form. Some rubber cement would probably fix this though.

Comments about ENO Guardian Bug Net:
well, if you know anything about east texas, the mosquitos are vicious and everywhere!! Tons of them! Went camping with a buddy of mine, he had a hammock as well with no bug net, he was miserable in the morning, where as i had a bug net and was bite free!
This thing is a breese to set up and take down. Fits into a grapefruit sized sack and compresses down even more. Its not extreamley light, but i wouldnt say it was heavy either. Its super easy to get in, and mostly easy to get out of (i only say that becasue when im just waking up, its hard for me to stand on my own two feet, much less shimmy out of a bug net).
All in all great bug net!!! it does what it says, keeps the bugs out. I will be purchaseing another for my girlfriend who also wants to go hammock camping with me.

This is an excellent bug net for the ENO. Easy to set up. I like the way it surrounds the ENO providing complete protection for little invaders. Must have for camping in an ENO!
