USGI Industries Bivy Tent | Lightweight Single Person Sleeping Net System for Outdoors, Camping, Survival, Hiking, Backpack | Mesh Protection

I don't usually write reviews but this product is too good not to share. Folded, it is small, flat and light enough to fit in a suitcase and it unfolds and folds really easily. It works really well, too. While other members of my party suffered insect bites at night, I was untouched. It is really good quality and shows not a trace of wear or tear after 3 weeks solid use in the tropics.

The folding: It comes with instructions and they're spot on. I was afraid I was going to break mine on that last fold after the "figure 8," so I watched a video online about it. Sure enough, the gentleman does a great job by being "firm" on that last fold just as the instructions say. My advice: follow the instructions to a T. If you have doubts, don't force it; watch a video and you'll see clearly how to do that last fold. I recommend folding it a couple of times before a trip to get used to it. Lastly, I got this for a trip to Asia and I might have to check my bag. It's not as small as I thought, although it's not super large either.

So far the item looks ok. Listing says the frame is stainless steel but it looks like fibreglass. Time will tell. The included pegs are the size of a pen and not good for anything. Bag includes instructions for folding and it does fold very easy.

Just got back from Guatemala. This was by far the best purchase I made for the trip. While everyone complaing about bugs being on them and getting bit in the night, this kept me bug free and made me feel secured. I'm really good at folding these so I was able to break down very easy. I would highly advise to practice folding them up before you hit the trails. There are youtube videos to teach you how to fold this model down. They were lightweight and I was able to clip them to our backpacks on the outside. There's isn't any room to sit up like I was hoping but plenty of room when you lay down. We were in a very hot climate and the breeze was wonderful at night through the net. It seems like durable material and the ground didn't put holes or anything in the bottom. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is traveling where there are bugs, mosquitos, or just creepy crawlers you don't want on you.

Stupid easy to set up it's resemblant of those folding Frisbees you'd use as a kid lightweight a little bit complicated to fold but once you do it once or twice it's really easy to set up the only qualm is that it's a little wide when folded making it a little difficult to fit into an assault pack or regular backpack but would fit in a ruck no problem
