I'm a bit of a tinkerer when it comes to gear... but like to get advice before taking the knife to an expensive bit of kit!
Does anybody know of someone who has successfully replaced the mossie netting on a Hennessy hammock with something a bit more solid? I'm wondering if it will help make it warmer, like a suspended bivvy or single skin tent. I realise that condensation might be an issue then, but i can design around that. Maybe even go for full velcro attachment so i can interchange between mossie net and 'solid'. I know these guys do some interesting variations:

I think i'm going to do the zipper mod on one side to make it a top-loader anyway. I'm fed up of doing the worm/wriggle/slide/fall out/swear/try again dance almost every time i get in.
