Versatile, lightweight bug protection for the minimalist solo backpacker

　　Open air sleeping on a summer backpacking trip is a joy – except for the bugs. The Mesh Tent 1 offers breezy, versatile, very lightweight protection against mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and other bugs for those who prefer the minimalist approach. The Mesh Tent 1 is a classic ridge-tent design, so all you need to pitch it are ridge line supports and a little imagination: Tie the supports to trees, or use trekking poles. Paddles will work, as will fallen tree branches. Its sewn-in floor keeps both ground moisture and crawling animals out, and the Mesh Tent 1 is built with Hilleberg's lightest-weight mesh. Unlike many mesh fabrics, this one is woven rather than knitted, so has a very fine mesh structure, is softer to the touch while still offering excellent durability, and is remarkably light.

　　Hilleberg designed the Mesh Tent 1 specifically to work perfectly with their Tarp 5 (sold separately), and the two together make an outstanding choice for those looking to take the most minimal warm-weather shelter solution.

　　The Mesh Tent 1 does not come with any poles or stakes.
