Second bivi kit q of the night..

Midges and mosquito avoidance at minimal weight. If you're at risk of being eaten some nights but generally prefer a bivibag and minimal tarp set up, are there any 'midge sack' type products? I'm thinking of a sleeping-bag topper that's just a roomy mesh half-bag but haven't seen them.

Or maybe if my bivi bag is 350g and my tarps are either 150g or 320g, a suggestion for a tarp tent that keeps bugs out at minimal weight / reasonable £? (edit to add, a tarp tent with bug net) Probably worth the added comfort on a longer trip.

Something like this: http://titaniumgoat.com/Bug-Bivy.html

Some people have been modifying there bivi's to include a bug net

One thing to think about is the amount of time that you will be exposed to the little gits. The bigger the protected space the more packing and getting dressed you can get done, before you have to expose yourself to them before you can ride away from them.

how did I miss that thread on here .. thanks.
