Does anyone know anything about these mosquito nets?

I used one for a couple of weeks and I would like to get a couple more but my mate lost his and I can't find them. They fold up into that little round bag and spring up to cover the head and shoulders.

OK found it.

Product Description:

Minimalist backpackers believe "light is right," and that is who the Bug Bivy was designed for. Folds small and light and pops open in a second. Closes just as easy with quick twist and fits into its own included stuff sack. No-see-um netting and a flexible fibreglass frame makes this the choice of outdoor enthusiasts looking for the ultimate bug protection. Self supporting. Made for one person and weighs only 180mls / 170g. 1400 squares per inch netting, the finest personal mesh screen available. Packs to about 1.3cm thick by 36.8cm diameter..

$149 - a bit expensive for a mosquito net.

Here is a link to one that is slightly cheaper - $79.99 + freight of $41.50 for total of $121.49. Still expensive IMO.

I made one to hang under a tarp, check the thread in myog section.
About $30-40 worth of materials

Works well but needs to hang from something. Weighs next to nothing as i used velcro for the opening

I like the self-support feature. Check the thread in myog section: http://bushwalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=20184#p268207

Here is another pop-up one. $40USD delivered to Oz. Looks like its full length though, unlike the one in your picture. Got some bad reviews about the zip and the length - you could chop the lower half off it.

The weight is adding up - continuous self erecting steel pole system. At 340g it is double the 170g weight.

Ooops...didnt look at the weight on that one. Yes, too heavy.

This is so useful! I really didn’t know about such mosquito nets. Well, there aren’t any mosquitoes and any other pests at my home as I have been using the regular Pest control Port Macquarie services. Anyway thanks for the information.
