The MSR Thru-Hiker Mesh House 1 is a lightweight and versatile shelter designed for hikers who need effective bug protection without the extra weight of a full tent. Ideal for use in areas with high bug activity, this mesh house provides excellent ventilation thanks to its predominantly mesh construction, while the solid foot and head sections offer extra stability.
This shelter is designed to be pitched using a trekking pole, making it a great option for minimalist hikers who already carry poles. It can also be paired with a tarp for additional rain protection, though the tarp is not included. The compact design allows hikers to sit up at the head of the tent, which is a significant upgrade from a standard bivvy sack.
