Lighter, faster, cheaper, the Guardian SL is the perfect insect protection choice for the minimalist backpacker. Twenty percent lighter than its big brother, the Guardian, the Guardian SL features a streamlined, sleevelike shape, SkyWeave Mesh netting, and conforms to all ENO Hammocks. As user-friendly as it is light, a mini ridgeline and cord locks create a snug, yet effective, insect-free haven.

Way Too Small
So Maybe, Im just too big at 6'2". Tried to set this up with my Double Nest (which is a fantastic hammock). It needs about a foot or more added to each end, and a couple of feet to the width, then it would be a great product! Its impossible to close yourself inside snugly, there is just not enough material. And if you want to do the diagonal lay, forget about it. I think for people under 5" it is probably fine and seems well made. I had to send it back and ended up getting the "Warbonnet Travel Net". More expensive at around $60, but a million times better in every way.

It takes some practice to get set up quickly
It does a good job of keeping the bugs out, but nothing is perfect. If you have had your ENO for awhile, you have to rethink your steps for hanging it. Including the net takes some planning and visualization. There are plenty of YouTubes on the subject, but you will have to sift through a few different models before you get to yours.I was disappointed by how much breeze was blocked by the mesh - - a lot. I live in a humid area, so that diminishes the comfort a pretty good bit.

Cramped
This a bugnet that you slide over your hammock, pull over you and cinch tight. Pros: it is light, and it is well made, and it keeps the bugs off of you Cons: instructions are comical. It doesn't have much clearance between the net and your face. My kids found it claustrophobic. And it is a pain to slide the netting up over your body and cinch closed.If they had included a loop sewed into the netting, so you could run a separate ridge line through it, it would have been much better and provided more clearance, but as is, I can only give it three stars. I much prefer the integrated bug nets of the Byers and the Hennessy that I own.

Underwhelmed
I’m a great fan of ENO, but this doesn’t do it for me. It works great for only one person - but you can’t sleep two people in the hammock when using this or it gets way too claustrophobic.It’s also kinda weird to set up. I’d prefer something with a zipper in the middle.I advise to spring the extra few bucks for the bigger version.

ode to net
works well to protect from bugs,not big or heavy, not too much to luggaround when camping or hiking tooeasy to figure out, set up's easy to do.not a tight squeeze like others have said,now put this around your hammock bed.

Won’t fit the double nest
Do not use it with the ENO double nest. I’m not tall by any measure, but this thing is really small. Have no idea who should be using this bug net.

meh...
Didn't realize this was an older type/design. you have to "climb in on one of the ends" Not like my newer one that has a zipper right in the middle making it super handy.

Durable, High Quality, Wish it Had a Zipper
This bug net is made of tough stuff. It's really hard to work the slip-on closure from inside the hammock though.
