GG Spinntwinn and Summertime bug protection on 01/12/2013 10:34:56 MST Print View

So I have one of these amazing tarps and I have slept under it in the rain so far and it is interesting that I get a much better night sleep under the tarp than I do in the tent so far with no bugs. My concern however is summertime when the bugs come out. What do you fellow tarp users recommend in terms of bug protection under this tarp? I will mostly use it at a solo shelter but at times it will be used as a 2 person as well. I'm 6'2 180lbs.

SpinnTwinn bug protection on 01/12/2013 11:15:07 MST Print View

Ive been using a Borah Gear bug bivy for bug protection with all of my shelters, including my SpinnTwinn.

Great price, quick turn around, nice quality.

I opted for the side zip option, regular length, wide size. I'm 5'10" 210lbs, athletic build. Plenty of room in the bivy. Packs down tiny and weighs about 6oz.
