The bottom entry sock / net allows for a different method of entry. No Zippers, no drawing it up over the head end of the hammock. It is available as a bug net with either .7 Nano-See-Um or .9 No-See-Um, or as a Wind Sock with a variety of ripstop fabrics. It is designed to be used on hammocks that use a structural ridgeline.

Features:

Shock Corded bottom
One end has @ 2" opening to allow your suspension through, but not your hammock
Other end has drawstring opening allowing it to be easily retracted to one end
If using with TQ/UQs opt for the larger end opening
54" Depth
Available in a variety of fabrics (both netting or ripstops) and lengths
Length is based on hammock length, so for 11' hammock, choose 11' Length (If your length falls between choices, size up to the next closest)
Include your ridgeline length in the comments section, otherwise I base lengths on the 83% basis

Bottom Entry Bug Net and Other Stuff

Last year I was ready to upgrade my hammock kit for backpacking and saw incredible reviews for Simply Light Designs everywhere—various hammock and backpacking subreddits, hammockforums, etc. After a doing a bunch of research and asking Jared a bunch of questions, which he was always quick to answer, I pulled the trigger on a new Tree Runner in Hexon 1.6 and a modular Trailwinder underquilt. I started using them right away. The hammock is a dream to sleep in. So comfortable. The UQ is perfect for conditions in my area. When I was ready to upgrade my bug net I went with SLD again for one in .7 with the winter opening. I had a small issue with the fit, and Jared was awesome to work with on getting it sorted out quickly and easily. It's so much lighter than my old one and will be on my hammock this weekend in an area with heavy mosquito pressure. Can't wait. I preach SLD to everyone I know who is looking to upgrade or just get into hammock camping.

Great Net

I have been dealing with Jared since he first started ....i never gave a review . i need a lot of time , to review anything, put it thru hard use, and durability testing. TOP NOTCH WORKMANSHIP through out .

can't be better .. i've got many , many hammocks, many ,many tarps, over a dozen Catch-All Sacks ( which i helped develop ), dozens of stuff sacks , custom bug nets , custom socks , gear hammocks , and more. i am a full time hammocker , for more than 15 years , 7 / 365, even when i was working , ALL SEASON -10°F to 100°F , even hurricanes

.7 nano 11' with winter opening

Another great purchase from Jared. Top notch quality and the customer service is second to none. Highly recommend.

Ultralight Bug Protection

I figured I'd help some folks out and post an approximate weight for this net. I ordered a net in .7oz nano-see-um with a "winter" opening for an 11ft hammock, and the total weight came to 161 grams or 5.7 ounces, INCLUDING the stuff sack it comes in. That's extremely light compared to many options on the market. You save a lot of weight by not having a zipper on the net, I think.

And, of course, craftsmanship quality is top-notch. It feels like a premium product. Haven't been able to test the bug protection ability, but I'd imagine it's about as good as any bottom-entry design like this.
