About 15 years ago, I bought a bug netting system from REI. It was basically a mini dome with crossing poles. When I say mini, I mean it was a 4 sided pyramid with maybe 18" of head room and 20" square. The mosquito netting covered the dome and then had a drape of maybe 3 feet to cover your sleeping bag. The poles were about the thickness of chopsticks, maybe just bendable plastic bits.

We had a fire at home and lost stuff including this. I am wishing I still had it. Anyone have any idea what I am talking about or knows of something similar? I am guessing it weighed maybe 6 oz or less…

I have one of these still in great shape that I used when I was going through Asia,it weighs 10.7 oz on my scale.It has an open bottom where elastic crosses to hold the poles in place,it has maroon trim and a maroon colored stuff sack.

The maroon one you mentioned. Surprised it is that heavy, I remember the 2 ft poles being super flimsy.

I will look at the other ones, snks for the suggestions.

Tim, I have had several of those around for what must be 20 years. I just went to my gear closet and found one buried deep. I'll send it to you for free. PM me your address.

It is called Sleep Screen by EPCO Design.
