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.
