Liteway says: 

Ultra light bug shelter – SIMPLEX MESH.

SIMPLEX MESH shelter is set up with either a trekking pole, stretched between trees or suspended to a tarp.

Reliably protects against insects and adds a few degrees to the overall comfort temperature of the sleeping system. The inner area of the shelter – 1,65 sq.m.

Catenary cut provides perfect tension. Tensioners (line lock) will help ease and fast adjust shelter. Stakes and poles are not included.

When used with Simplex Mini Tarp, the Simplex Max Tarp or Biggie Tarp, it’s works as an ultra-light frameless double-layer tent for one person.

Seams of the shelter are non-sealed. For sealing the seams, we recommend sealant based on silicone.

Our Verdict

The Liteway Simplex Mesh 1P is an ultralight bug shelter designed for solo hikers needing minimal weight and reliable insect protection. Weighing 307g, it pairs with the Simplex Mini Tarp or similar shelters, providing a frameless, double-layer setup that keeps insects out and adds. Crafted from durable no-see-um mesh, it’s designed to keep bugs at bay without compromising airflow, while the catenary cut and line locks ensure taut and secure pitching.

With a setup reliant on trekking poles or suspension, this shelter is adaptable but best used by those familiar with tarp and mesh configurations. We recommend practising setup at home or on a day hike to get a feel for adjusting the lines and tension before relying on it overnight. The seams aren’t sealed; a silicone-based sealant is advised for added weatherproofing, or you could use it with a footprint.
