Paria Outdoor Products Breeze Mesh Tent - Ultralight 2 Person Mesh Tent Shelter - Perfect for Camping, Backpacking and Thru-Hikes

I'll preface by saying so far I've only pitched the thing in my apartment - but I can already tell it's a stellar piece of gear. I also own the Paria Outdoors Breeze Mesh Bivy which I have used in a variety of conditions - and this tent seems to be made the same way, same materials and similar function; so if it's anything like the bivy then it should be durable and functional.The footprint is huge compared to the little 1 person REI tent I am accustomed to. It is about 7 ft by 5 ft with a peak height of about 36 inches. Once you tension it out there is plenty of headspace -- as a 5'11 tall guy my head still has a few inches of room below the mesh & ridgeline. It is downright palatial for 1 person.I see after having opened up and setup the tent that Paria is using a slightly different gauge or quality of guylines - it looks to be somewhere in between a 1.5mm and 1.8mm -- perhaps. they have addressed the occasional issue of the super narrow 1.5 dyneema lines sliding around in the linelocs and de-tensioning on the ridgeline that is holding the tent up. I know I had this issue when I got their bivy but have not had the same issue with this tent.Despite 5 stars, I would change maybe two things about this tent:1) Instead of a mesh door end and a solid head end, it would be nice if both ends were 30d nylon for privacy and wind resistance when pitched under a tarp. I assume the door side being fully mesh has something to do with weight savings (?). I don't necessarily mind the open end since I can definitely "door in" my 8x10 tarp vestibule.2) And this is a personal preference - but I would put lineloc hardware at the tent stakeout corners. I added some myself, and here is why: part of the choice in going to a mesh tent and tarp combo is for weight savings. When you pair this tent with a tarp, you end up needing to carry between 10-12 stakes, since you need to stake the tent & tarp separately. But - if you add short guy lines with lineloc loops to the corners of this tent - you can reduce your max tent stakes carried to 6-8, because you can now pitch your tarp, stake it down and then pull this tent's guyout loops to the same stakes holding the tarp down, then just tension them with linelocs and the tent is nice and secure. Again this is a personal preference but it does save weight and reduce hardware carried to do it that way instead.Overall I am impressed with this tent and can't wait to finally try it in the backcountry. I have no doubt it will perform well!

Tent is awesome. Added some guy lines to side walls to pull mesh away from head (Used smart water lid pinched in mesh and noosed with paracord). Sets up quick and taught with paracord guy lines. Packraft oars and ridgelines. It has rained here for 3 straight days. Wind has peaked at 15mph gusts. Paria mesh tents bathtub floor is 100 % dry under my eno housefly tarp which fits it perfect. Best lightweight tent for the money bar none. Folds up to size of nalgene bottle and weighs nothing. Highly recommend if you enjoy lightweight, polefree bug tent with seemless, waterproof bathtub floor. Paria outdoor hit all the points with this one. Love it. Btw. I hosed it down when infirst received it. Hung it in sun to dry. Within 40 minutes with 95 degree texas heat and wind had blown it dry. Thats great news for us kayak/packrafters that need lightweight fast drying kit. A+.

I bought this tent to help reduce my pack weight. Great product for the price. It packs small and is super light. You’ll want a good tarp to cover it in inclement weather (not included). The first time I used the tent backcountry, the wind was fierce but the tent held up well. My only complaint is that the tensioners slipped a bit in the wind and I had to knot the cord to stop the slipping. I later switched out the tensioners for a slightly stronger style. Overall, I’m happy with this tent and love Paria’s ability to provide a solid product at an affordable price.I gave it 5 stars for warmth, not because it’s warm, but because that is irrelevant for this style of tent. It’s mesh and designed for backpacking. Warmth is what you get from your sleeping bag. Shelter is what you get from the tent.

We've used this tent several times and like how simple it is. We shopped around for a really lightweight mesh tent and found this one at a good price, so we bought it. We've used it for backpacking, setting it up with our trekking poles, and really like how light it is. We set up a tarp over it for privacy and protection from rain, but we love the versatility of it, to use it without any cover, to see the stars at night and see all around us. We both have enough room, both from side to side, and from the door to the back. There's also room for our backpacks, shoes, and other gear. It's a little tight, but it works. The mesh is great for keeping out bugs, and we have noticed that it's warmer inside the tent than outside, which is great when it's cold outside. The bathtub is thin, but enough.It is a simple tent and really not made for rough treatment. It packs small and weighs about 1-1/2 pounds, which is great for backpacking. We would recommend!

Great tent!!! It's getting hard these days to find any type of light weight shelter that does not require fiberglass poles to be packed and lugged around with it. Even harder is finding something well under two pounds for less than $100 and more frequently over $200.I carry a tarp and wanted a light weight, bug free shelter that I could fit into my pack for Florida camping that would adapt from 90F+ to below 30F and this fits perfectly. Well made, easy set up, very compact when packed and enough room for 2 persons with gear. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for bare basics or convertible sleeping.

Nice lightweight materials and quality stitching. Works exactly as it should. I am very happy with this. I camp a lot in the southeast where bugs are an issue but I love the feeling of camping out in the open. If there is no rain in sight I just sleep in it without a tarp and enjoy the open view. If rain or shade is needed I just throw a tarp over it. I use my trekking poles to set it up. 4 stakes for the tent and 1 stake for each trekking pole. I also carry 6 extra stakes for the tarp in case the wind picks up with the rain.
