[pct-l] No-See-Um Netting Color

[dsaufley at sprynet.com (dsaufley)]

You're right about the white; I've been using white netting while mountain
biking, and it's horrible when the sun is shining direct on it; can't see at
all.  The net I got from Dancing Light Gear is green and is much better.

Good afternoon, Switchback,

I've never been in an all-white net shelter, but it probably would reject
more radiation.  However, I have found that I can more easily see out
through darker netting.  I expect an all-white net shelter would seem like
being in a bad snow storm all the time.  I'll let the brides have the white
stuff for their veils.  Someone usually leads them down the aisle so they
don't need to see where they are going.
