Re: Tarptent Moment mesh liner
I have a Moment with a liner, but I've only used it without the liner. When condensation exists, I get dripped on. It's not a big deal if your sleeping bag has decent DWR. My MontBell down ...

Re: Large garbage bag as bivy?
I've done this with a synthetic bag before, and without a tarp. There was plenty of condensation, but I was warm. I don't think I'd try it with a down bag. I don't plan to try it ag...

Re: What type of bivy should I get

Re: Event rain jacket
