    Tipi bug resistance

    We use them for group social areas on expeditions to avoid midges. So they do work ! We use the TENTIPI Varrie 7 polycotton. Ground sheet fits not tightly but keeps midges out. They warm up quickly in sun so having the lower vents opens and a bit of roof vent open helps.
