Combination type guards are any product that uses more than one type in the same product, usually a micromesh over a slot guard. These are typically consumer traps. While it may seem like you could get “double protection” you’re really only getting whatever the top layer is. In most cases that is a light guage micromesh. Unlike a micromesh only type, these have even smaller holes that are more prone to clog with pollen. These combination guards are typically very over-priced (Leaf Filter is $38/ft). While some of these products, like the one in the video function just fine when clean, they are not at all worth the markup compared to more simple and cheaper products.
