Outdoor Research NightHaven Shelter

Creatively crafted for minimalist backpacking, the Outdoor Research NightHaven packs plenty of potential into a stuff sack that's no larger than a one-liter bottle. Keep in mind that much of the weight and space savings is in the absence of poles--you'll need to bring along your adjustable trekking or snowshoeing poles to pitch the NightHaven. Along the inside you'll find a partial floor. Outdoor Research designed the lightweight shelter with a base that folds down to keep insects and most weather out, although you can seal out everything with the NightHaven Footprint (sold separately--but we should have them in stock). Unlike some tarp tents, the NightHaven zippered mesh vents for optimal airflow without the extra evening bugs. In fact, the folded base, mesh panels and rugged silnyl material make the NightHaven a far better lightweight shelter for insect-infested regions than most minimalist hiking designs--just don't forget to take along those trekking poles.
