Deep Dive
Why We Love the Thru-Hiker Mesh House 3:
When embarking on a months-long thru-hike, every ounce in your pack matters. That's why the MSR Thru-Hiker Mesh House 3 is a game-changer. Weighing in at just a single pound, this ultralight tent provides essential bug protection as you trek through the bug-infested trails of the High Sierras on the PCT or the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Appalachian Trail.
Designed to be versatile, the Mesh House 3 can be pitched beneath MSR's Hiker 70 or 100 Wing (sold separately) to shield you from both bugs and rain. Although it requires trekking poles for setup due to its non-freestanding design, the Thru-Hiker comes with six MSR Needle stakes to ensure a secure shelter for your restful nights.
