Mosquito Tents for Disaster Response

If you have a 6-person disaster response team heading to Haiti, what kind of mosquito tent do you get them?  A $300-professional-backpacker tent for each team member?  And if the place you’re going to be staying at has space limitations, are you looking forward to erecting a tent e.v.e.r.y single night and taking it down the next morning?

With the SansBug mosquito tent, you slide off an elastic strap and it explodes into shape.  Blink and you’ll miss it pop-up!  Now you can plop into your sleeping bag without the hassle of joining poles while getting bitten by mosquitoes.  Rainy season in Haiti is May-July and you don’t want to take a chance with malaria.  One bite is all it can take.  Folding up your tent should take you less than 10 seconds even if you’re still half asleep!  The SansBug is a breeze to use, pun intended.

But… but don’t you get what you pay for?  Dispel the thought of a poor-quality, heavy and tiny tent.  We’ll let our customers rave about the quality but let’s talk about the weight and dimensions for the 1-person.  Weight?  2.5 lbs.  Yes, that’s two and a half pounds… about what a 32 oz. drink weighs!   Dimensions?  It offers six feet in length and more than 3 feet in width… that’s even more than what a twin mattress offers!  With a height of 3 feet, a six-foot tall person can comfortably sit in it.

10 tents can fit in a 27” x 27” x 7” box (61 linear inches and 32lbs total weigh which is within the free allowance).  If you’re traveling alone or if each group member is carrying his or her own net, the 1-person tent when 4-folded fits comfortably in the aircraft overhead bin.   So if you’re a response team heading to a disaster zone, the SansBug mosquito tent is your instant refuge.
