Does anyone make a tent that has an all noseeum netting enclosure attached to the bathtub floor with a clip on or other attachment way for a rain/wind shield for a person 6'5". Free standing with poles is nice but not a deal breaker. Something under 3 pounds? Thanks.

Jul 27, 2010 at 6:52 am #1632579SMD Vamp and Haven. You buy the net tent separate from the outer fly.
You can hang the net from the fly or use the net solo with trekking poles.
Neither are freestanding. Freestanding tends to add weight.

I'll bet the Vamp will be roomy for one.
Jul 27, 2010 at 8:25 am #1632596I also want to say that I don't need to sit up.
Jul 27, 2010 at 10:31 am #1632631I've reviewed the Vaude Power Lizard UL on BPL so have a look if you like. Might be what you're looking for.
Jul 28, 2010 at 6:56 pm #1633057I don't think the Vaude is going to have good flow and the SMD stuff is out of my price range right now for a simple tent.
Thanks though
Jul 28, 2010 at 7:05 pm #1633062Bivy shelters like the ID Unishelter, BA Three Wire, Nemo Mio are out….right?
Jul 28, 2010 at 7:44 pm #1633072Those are all good ideas but would use any of them except for maybe the Mio at 80+F without roasting?
Jul 28, 2010 at 7:53 pm #1633073Ahh, good point.
Jul 28, 2010 at 7:57 pm #1633075I'm 6'3" and fit in a MSR Hubba with a few inches to spare. It might work…
