I see a lot of people on here seem to use it!
Is it just me or does anybody else think the stuff actually sucks
For ventilation? There are plenty other products I think that are better
curious why everybody seems to use this?? And it is the same
Price or more expensive than alternatives.

I have it on my house for 20 years...and my roof still looks good. Look at the building code for the amount of ventilation per attic space.

Don't let them kid you Kasey; they only use it cause it's got a cool name.

I like it because it doesn't warp and stays flat.

Menards by me sells a similar product called Mongoose. From all the animal shows I watched as a kid Mongoose beats Cobra every time. I can use the same logic here, right?

They could have called it a monsnake, a moncobra, a monasp or monadder, but they called it a mongoose. So are young ones called mongoslings?

Don't care for the mongoose brand due to the glue strips incorporated into the vent material.

Gums up the shears I use to cut it with.
Minor annoyance I know but is what it is.

There is no truth to this whatsoever. A good friend who is also my neighbor and the largest roofer in this area says this is a bunch of crap. By the way he roofs about 500 houses per year so he has some experience with venting. I'll take his word for it and continue to use it.

I also side with Adam, this style does fill with dust faster due to a tighter weave than mongoose or the other roll-a-vent or 4ft sectionals. Still our go to install ridgeventing material. This will be discussed in Vegas in Feb smile

No it doesn't Jordan. If the north country style stl has the inner filter intact that is a tighter weave than cobra. If cobra is installed correctly that is... I've seen where some daily it down so hard and tight there isn't much of a gap left

Thinking that it should doesn't make it so. I replace ridge vent every day, in fact l be replacing 178 feet of North country today, and I've tried about every brand there is here and I still stick with cobra. I do have a complaint but it isn't dust.

How many roofs have you been on with cupped shingles and seen cobra at the top?

I personally think snow country has the best
Venting, it just sucks for bats, but once hardware
Cloth is down I don't need cobra or mongoose.

Kasey what is your plan for all the bat crap the falls through the mesh into your customers home? Also when bat urine rusts the mesh away in less then 10 years what do you tell your customer?

3 reasons that won't happen, 1st I don't use mesh that will rust, 2 bats don't get in the way I put the screen on and install the
Ridge vent, 3 bat guano doesn't fit through my screen/hardware cloth.
I don't think that cobra venting is inferior product I just think that there are better venting
Options out there
