Under the DuoMid: 2 bivies or an InnerNet?

If you only use it with your girlfriend, what solution makes sex easier? :-)

You can get both a MLD Solo Innernet and Duo Innernet for about the cost of two Katabatic Bivy's. Seems like getting two innernets should be an additional option.

Or get the Duo Innernet plus a bivy. (Whoops, looking back maybe this is already your thought. . .)

Or get just the Duo Innernet and see how it works solo, with plan to get a bivy or Solo Innernet if you don't like soloing with the Duo Innernet.

I own the duomid, the duo innernet, and two bivys. I found that when sleeping 2 in the duomid I prefer to use two bivys because it is much roomier than the innernet. the innernet really sucks up the space inside the duomid. The bivy option also allows me to carry less weight when going solo.

The DuoMid, or any pyramid this size, is less than ideal for two. Especially two that may want to snuggle. If you use the center pole, rather than an a-frame double pole, then you have a pole in the middle that screams “my side – your side.” Nice when you’re with a buddy (especially one’s with questionable love lives that just downed half a pint of Yukon Jack), not-so-nice when your girlfriend/wife planned on sharing body heat to enjoy the crisp mountain air.

Also, if it’s raining, the poor sap that’s on the door side is going to get wet when the door is opened. Not a little wet like some ill designed domes, but a lot wet like a five foot sheet of nylon is now missing wet.

I used a DuoInner for me and my son (he’s two) under a DuoMid on a couple of trips last summer and it works great, but this setup would not be my choice for trips with buddies or my wife.

One thing to consider is that a bivy adds warmth to your sleeping system where an inner net would not.

That said, for a couple, I would think that an inner net would be the better option.

Depends on whether you are planning to keep the girlfriend. If so, innernet.
