This is very similiar to the smaller internal XNET we have had, except is made out of a much tighter mesh and a heavy seam of Velcro to form a pocket to tuck just about anything that will fit in it out of eye level. Still has the heavy duty fastening rings (but in Stainless steel) and the military style cam buckles. Feedback and comments are welcome. If anyone gets asked, we just are launching two Pathfinder nets as well today and fitting the Armada. More pictures and details here: http://www.raingler.com/shop/productDetails.asp?productID=168

Maybe Raingler will discount it after a few months just like what they did with the original Xnets. Or maybe you can get a group discount if you promote it to your club.

Right, our prices are MSRP. Your dealer may charge more or less, up to them. Give the guys at Northshore (on our dealers page at www.raingler.com ) a call for CDN folk. Thanks for the feedback, appreciated!

Damnit Eddie; everytime I buy one of your nets you come out with a better one. I'm gonna have to start waiting longer before I buy! :rolleyes: Anyone want to buy a used regular mini X Net?

I like it alot Eddie, that is a better design than the original mini-net...now it looks like this new designed net can hold more stuff cause of the mesh net material...the old one you needed to hold stuff with bungies to having not fall through the larger holes on the net...good job...

it's still very new and am open to suggestions and feedback. Would most prefer to stay with the ultra overkill buckles or would a smaller plastic buckle be ok, probably knock about 5-7 bucks off the price, etc?

Heavy duty buckles = cool
To me, putting plastic buckles on to save 5 bucks (when I am already spending 50) is no big deal. I would rather have the 'big' buckles.

thank you, I am building a light duty one to test and will know true price. It may drop even a bit more, but just trying to get a feel what most would prefer. (maybe not everyone like me would take a laptop with them on a trail)

Seems a tad pricey. The barrier net is a great value for the price, but this net at $49.99... I will have to pass. I would say if it were $10-$15 buck less and you would have a real winner.

hey Eddie, great idea. I was one of the people who offered my opinion on improvments for this net months ago. Wondering if the overall storage dimensions are the same as the mini Xnet. BTW anybody want to buy a used mini xnet so that I can buy this one. thanx Looking at it again looks like you might be able to increase the size a little bit at least in the width.

Give the guys at Northshore (on our dealers page at www.raingler.com ) a call for CDN folk. You talking about North Shore OffRoad in Vancouver? No thanks! I'd rather give myself a brake fluid enema on live TV. I'll cheerily pay more somewhere else to avoid them.

It looks good. A bit pricey but a good design.
Is there also going to be a bigger one?

another color? I guess I don't have to stay with the 10 year material (black, red, blue) for these as they shouldn't be in the weather/sun. What would you be thinking of? tan, grey etc?

Any chance of a larger one? It's a great idea, but kind of small. I like the idea of a pocket instead of just a net.

Charrua, YES, a few more days here, we'll put up a picture asap. Burgpath; The Pathfinder doesn't have the hooks in the ceiling like the X does (least none I have seen.(?) If you can make some support plate and install U or Eye bolts, then I'd say it could be done though.

On my X-Net I added mess to the back half for little things and it works great. I like the bigger one personally.
