Hey guys! Hello from sunny Florida! I have been following this forum for a while, and have learned a lot about my equipment and getting my weight down. I bought this mesh tent from Paria Outdoors along with the silnylon tarp on Amazon.
First of all, I do not work for the company in any way. I just wanted to share my experience with the products because I found them to be an excellent value and very well made. As you know, Florida can get pretty hot and humid and this little mesh tent really takes the cake.
I went out for 2 nights just to play around. The weather was nice and there was no rain for the near future, so I never even brought out the tarp. The material is 30D silnylon for both the tarp and the mesh tent floor. The mesh tent came with 1.5mm Dyneema guidelines and lightweight stakes for a total weight of 24 oz. The Tarp with Dyneema guidelines and stakes came out to 20.5 oz. Not bad for under $140 for both!
The mesh tent was simple to set up, and I have messed with the tarp in the backyard with different configurations. The most important part is that it has stood up to my 90lb golden retriever, who is an excellent camping companion, he just has big paws and claws.
Again, I just want to share this because I think it is a really good affordable product for those looking into lightweight shelters!
