Have YOU ever wondered why there are loops hanging from the top of your tent. They aren't there so you can cure hams in the tent, they are waiting for you to get the Marmot Earlylight Gear Loft.

There isn't a whole lot to write about, really. It's a rectangle of mosquito netting with a band sewn to the edges and clips on the corners. It allows you to store things overhead when you don't want to keep them on the floor. Like my eyeglasses, or anything really, these days, now that I'm getting a LOT of sand in the tent.

These reason that I use, and recommend, the Marmot, is that it's pretty generic. There are a lot of gear lofts out there that are designed for a specific tent. Frequently, these will have clips on the ends of longer tapes, instead of right on the corner, and/or odd sizes and shapes. I guess it's great, if you have that tent, but it turns into a liability if you want to use it in another tent, or loan it to a buddy with a different tent.

It ain't fancy (FAIN-tzee), but that's why I like it. Get the Marmot Earlylight Gear Loft.
