Handy bivy sack/tent hybrid

I bought this tent for solo travelers in the backcountry. As a kid I always wanted a bivy sack to keep my bag dry when camping, but as an adult I appreciate the bug protection and storage this design offers. offers a completely unique experience. Setup is pretty easy. In order for it to work, it has to be fixed: two posts next to the leg box hold the small post in place and ensure sufficient legroom. The remaining three supports support the single ring support and extended head, creating a relatively roomy head and shoulder area. The tent is surprisingly spacious inside. With a full-width airbag and down bag, the leg box offered room for a few small items or a bit of wiggle room. There was enough head and shoulder room to sleep on my side or stomach, with all the room for my elbows. You can't sit with the door closed, but you can turn around. There are two ways to use the door. The mesh screen gives you a full view of your legs and sides and lets in a gentle breeze. The weatherproof door has a small window to look out through, but it doesn't breathe at all. There is a permanent vent just behind the door to prevent condensation when using a weatherproof door. It still heats up really quickly on warm days (I tested it in bright sunlight), so I expect it to stay warm at night just fine. The headboard is roomy enough that the product doesn't feel claustrophobic when you seal it inside. It is solid in construction, with durable waterproof bottom, lighter but durable waterproof upper, taped seams all around, pointed aluminum. Prices and a good bag for things. A nice feature of the bag is that it has a mesh bottom in case you are camping in the rain and need to pack a wet tent. Open - Able to keep a few things close to you Compared to a single tent: - Single pole - Fully waterproof without additional rain cover - Impossible to sit inside without opening the door - No stretch marks are used
