      Comments about Mombasa Defender Mosquito Net:

      I bought this because it was small, light and seemed easy to set up with only one hanging point. It tucked well underneath a twin mattress for me, but because only the head part is really raised, bugs bit me through any part of the net that was near my body. The net touched my skin near my lower legs and ankles, which is where I would get bitten the most at night. Also I felt really cramped inside.

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Mombasa Defender Mosquito Net:

      This net is much too small to cover one person adequately, it needs a ring or two or more suspension points at the top to work properly. I unfortunately did not try using it at home before taking it to a mosquito ridden area.

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Mombasa Defender Mosquito Net:

        I bought the netting a year ago for possible overseas travel but decided to deploy it over my bed inside my little cabin just to test it. It has been there ever since. Since I have sporadic outbreaks of stink bugs who love to head for my reading light at night, it's now safe to read without being dive bombed. And, since my attic plays host to a maternal colony of big, brown bats who occasionally wander into the house, I can sleep without keeping one eye open.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
