The DD SuperLight Pathfinder Mesh Tent can be used independently as a warm weather bug protected tent or combined with the Superlight Pathfinder Tent for a more traditional 2 layer tent.
DD Hammocks says:
This insect-proof mesh shelter is the ideal place to escape from bugs and midges - and at less than 500g / 17oz, it's an incredibly lightweight addition to your rucksack. It can be used on its own, with a Tarp or in conjunction with the DD SuperLight - XL Pyramid Tent to provide a whole wealth of options!
Ideal for solo hikers and campers in dry climes when used by itself, or fully compatible with the DD SuperLight - XL Pyramid Tent to create a waterproof and bug-proof shelter, with a huge porch area. Ideal for storing damp rucksacks, boots or other equipment to keep your sleeping area clutter-free. This ultra-fine mesh means you will be protected from every insect - from the mosquito to the miniscule Scottish midge!
Our Verdict
DD Hammocks' DD Superlight Pathfinder Mesh Tent is made of ultra-fine bug mesh and protects you against all sorts of biting insects. This makes the Superlight Pathfinder Mesh Tent ideal for use in warmer but dry conditions. It can be rigged by using a pole or just suspended from an overhead point which is very handy if you find yourself constantly changing to unknown layouts.
It's spacious for a solo camper plus a rucksack. Ideally it would be combined with the DD Superlight Pathfinder Tent (sold separately) to give it an outer waterproof layer, creating a 2 layer tent. Overall a great solution when travelling light or for minimal backpacking.

Help & advice:
Over time repeated fold lines can start to weaken the fine material of your DD SuperLight gear. To pack away, we always recommend 'stuffing' your DD SuperLight gear into its bag instead.
