    Comments about MSR Twing Shelter:

    Super light weight! Elegant design. Worked great as a shelter in the Pacific Northwest. But in the deserts of Nevada, the fabric let too much of the sun through, making it too hot to sleep under once the sun hit it. I was cooler in the shade of a rock. Good 'second room' for your tent - for storage or just hanging out.

      Comments about MSR Twing Shelter:

      The MSR Twing has been a great addition to my backpacking excursions. It is very lightweight, and super easy to set up. I was skeptical at first when I saw that it was to be held up by trekking poles, which kind of get in the way, but it held up fine. Even with several bursts of wind. I would recommend that if you do purchase this item to bring a footprint with you to sleep on. We were able to fit 4 people and one dog inside. I strongly recommend the Twing to any backpacker who likes to have a light pack on their adventures.
