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

Great design, light weight, durable enough, and decent size. It does what it’s meant to do and that’s keep bugs out while offering some air flow.

Compaq for tent can easily lay down on single bed, very first of all tall, and can be easily stored. Would buy another one if Cayson maybe

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.

There was a small portion of about 6 inches where the sewing along the zippered not bind the zipper back material to the net area. I ended up sewing it by hand. Otherwise it would have come apart and left a gap.Another thing- keep in mind exactly how you unfold it from the original round bag because it needs to be refolded exactly the same way. The rods are very thin and will break if not done correctly. But it's designed very specifically this way and not a design flaw.Other than that it worked great during the first field exercise I used it for and gave a good amount of privacy after throwing my woobee over the top mesh

I love a lot of things about this bivy net tent.1.) Sets up in seconds2.) Durable (if you take care of it and fold it right)3.) Packable - I can just barely fit it in my backpack, but it works.4.) Perfect size - enough room at the top and sides next to my mat for a few extra items while (water bottle, light, etc.). Feels very open when you're in it. Recommend getting a quality inflatable sleeping mat and a summer sleeping bag or blanket. This makes it really nice.5.) Breathable - some have said it gets hot, but this is more breathable than my other bivy. It is a very open-air feel and is nice to watch the stars at night.6.) Two way zipper, makes it easy to get zipped in or out7.) Full side access - some bivys only let you access through the top endDownside: I plan to use it all year round, just wish this one could purchase a rainfly for it. I have a rain tarp for now.

perfect for sleeping on a cot with a pad, open air, night sky. However, only used it maybe 14 nights less than one year before pole snapped. Very difficult to fold! Supposed to be guaranteed, but I can't find any way to contact USGI. No phone number, no email. Ugh.

These have been successful for 2 years of summer camp for my Scouts. No failure, snags, broken zippers. They still fold into the circle for storage in their pouches, ( think windshield sun screens).

I took this tent out maybe 3 times and the poles broke, it also does not pack well when broken. The mesh is also very thin and sticks and twigs will penetrate.
