UL net tents 2015 options

The struts in the MLD tents are short and should not pose any kind of issues.

I'll wager that the BWD tent weighs more that the stated weight and the quality will be behind MLD and Yama. I've owned a Yama owner before. Nicely done. End entry is just not my thing. Have a MLD inner for my mid now. New version with struts.

Have a link for the TTs?

Trekkertents inners also have struts, at least, the Stealth 2 net inner does. Like Dave, I don’t see why short struts should be a problem. I only got the Stealth 2 net inner last week so I can only speak for how it looks out of the box, but it looks to be a very high quality piece of work.
Dave, the solid Trekkertent inner is here. Marc of Trekkertent first posted about what is now the Trekkertent Edge on these forums.

Oh that guy! I remember that thread here. Thanks William. Dave thanks you too.

:) Sorry Ken, I think I must have mixed up two different threads there!

Thanks for the fast input you guys. Oh, and before I forget, glad you like my videos Ken/Dave! Thanks for the nice feedback. Got more in the works, just super busy right now.

Yeah, I guess I was being a bit too harsh about the struts. No biggie.

The more I think about the TT solid fabric inner tent, the more I like it. Though I still want to weigh all the options and such. It's almost half a year or so until bug season anyhow.

Very curious to hear from anyone that uses a net tent (or any tent, actually) with a silnylon floor and never uses a ground cover.

And seriously, are there only like 4 UL net tents out there?

i use one of the older models of the MLD solo inner (and a newer version of the duo inner), both with cuben floors. I have never used a groundsheet with them.

I've ridden out a few really, really nasty storms in the solo (underneath a duomid) and never had an issue, even with spray.

Frankly, I've sold all my other shelters and feel (at least at the moment….) that this setup is The One for me. I'm super happy with it….

I had Bearpaw make me a custom 1.5 inner but it was SO heavy and SO huge folded up…I never even used it. I can't say enough great things about MLD's product – I'm afraid I'm terribly spoiled now.

I have an a old yama 2 person I grabbed off gear swap, solit back and 3/4 solid front. Really quality work, use it with a GG Spinn Twinn.

I pulled the trigger on a Trekker Tent inner net tent, and really looking forward to it. It came down to TT or Yama, and I compared the specs and TT was slightly bigger, but the big point that got me to go with TT was the solid fabric option. I also liked that the floor is 40D silnylon, so a bit more durable and more waterproof. Undecided if I will go with a ground cover or not, we'll see. I emailed Marc at TT several times about doing a custom solo inner tent, and he was very helpful and quick to reply. Attention to detail on the final product was top-notch. So big thumbs up to TT's customer service.

I'll most likely do a first impressions type review once I get it and will throw up a link in this thread if/when that happens.

The custom details are that I got a partial solid fabric inner–50cm of the breathable nylon on the side walls, plus the standard full fabric ends but with small net vents at the top of them. Then the top is net. I wanted the best of both worlds of breathable but also protection from spray and wind. Plus a bit of privacy is nice, especially considering that I will be using this net tent with my Zpacks Cuben flat tarp.

I have a big section hike coming up in early April that I hope to field test this net tent. I will be hiking trails less traveled as I go further into central Sweden on the E1 (less trail shelters, less civilization in general, etc.), so part of the appeal of a net tent will be to have a little place to hang out in way out there if needed. I love my bivy, but its not exactly a "home away from home" type shelter. But great for lots of other reasons.
