A Tent That Breathes

Article Abstract:

A tent, parka, insect barrier suit, and removable pot handle are evaluated by backpackers. The Mountain Hardwear Thru-Hiker tent offers excellent ventilation, protection from wet weather, and clear plastic windows for star-gazing. The Sportif Glacier Peak parka is light enough for long trips, but sturdily protects from rain and wind. Flies and mosquitos are foiled by the Insect-Out Barrier Suit, and the MSR Litelifter makes handling camping pots easy. Price and manufacturer information is included.
