Marmot Mesh Bivy

Item #MAR1640 | 3 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Lightweight but not "too" freestanding

By Ranked #199 - Bivy Sacks August 29, 2010

Depending on what you are looking for? If lightweight is your #1 priority; then this is a very good tent. But the pole that comes with the tent doesn't really make the tent freestanding. I find it to be a bit restricted. I could barely sit 45 deg up.

this is not a tent. it is a modified bivy. you are not meant to sit up in it. the only reason there is a pole is to keep the mesh off your face.
