So I know it's not just me, cuz I asked a fellow hiker with the Hubba, (yellow fly) if he experienced the same problem...and he did...flies in his fly. What's the deal with the flies getting in between the tent and rain fly? It's like the old rain fly paper...instant fly party!

The only way i know to keep the flys away is not to take a tent where there are going to be flys. So you have two options: 1 don't take the tent, or don't go hiking. Next thing you will be comlaining about the dirt on the bottom of the tent.

You have GOT to be kidding? This is the crap you worry about? They are their for protection from the elements and also (as mentioned already) likely that they cannot escape. Is that a big deal? The mesh is between you and them so you're not going to be bothered by them. Sheesh. It's called the "OUTDOORS" and stuff like this goes on. On second thought, hand in your gear and go stay in a hotel.

Yes, I've noticed the same thing with my Hubba Hubba, and other tents that I've slept in. I suspect it's the same thing as when they get in the car and can't find their way out...they're just trapped. They come looking for the nice smelly human and then get stuck. Keeping one side of the fly unzipped and rolled back seems to make it easier for a few to escape, but they still collect at the top. Not sure I have a solution for you...I've never really considered it a problem, since they're on one side of the mesh and I'm on the other.
