I HAVE THE SAMPLE !
Mixture of news here. I sent a real snotty email tot eh supplier today and of course got home to find the sample netting on my doorstep
. I also have an email reply from the supplier. He assures me that any order will not be turned around in 4 weeks.
They have not yet returned my original netting so i cannot compare like for like but here are my initial impressions.
The netting is very well made and every bit the equal of the Ecosystem one. If anything I think the netting material is better and has a better flow to it. Also the black material is fine so I would be inclined to go for this rather than the green as I have not seen the green material. The ridge line is also a loot better. Now for the catch. The sample is way too short. It is about 1.6m long where as it should be about 2.7m long (If someone can measure their ecosystem one I would appreciate it)
Despite this being the only problem and one that should be able to be sorted without the need for another sample I am reluctant to go ahead until I have an exact example of what I am ordering. Once I have this I will confirm I have the sample and post a new thread giving a review of it and referring people back here.
This netting will definitely be able to be used with a bivi bag set up as long as you have a ridge line to fit it too.
Excluding the size issue I am very pleased with the sample and believe this will be a superb group buy. A real saving. I will be ordering quite a few extra as I expect a lot of requests after the initial order is placed and I want to avoid having as many group buys as we have had with the hammocks. I have no concerns about ending up with a load of unwanted nets as experience has shown me that they will go eventually.
I will post pictures of the netting I have but it may be a couple of days before I get the chance.
I'll keep you up to date with developments.
