    Here's my current favorite:

    http://www.mosquitohammock.com/

    I own both models, and they're nicely made and work perfectly. I like the fact that during the day you can turn them over, leaving the net on the bottom, and use them like an open hammock.

    The best hammock I have ever tried is the Fox Hammock with the Fox Mosquito Net. Simple, effective and very comfortable! the Mozzie net can also be used over a single bed or cot bed.
    Found here:

    In the same vain, the best most well thought out tarp is the Fox Jungle Bash. No needless seams, fully reinforced it even has pockets in the corners to tuck the guy ropes in! When combined with the hammock and net noting protrudes out of the 'Dry zone' and everything is where it needs to be.

    Just my thoughts

    For info on different hammocks, have a look on www.hikinghq.net. Most won't be available from retailers here, but you could order from the US if something catches your eye.
