The GoLite Shangri-La 1 Nest is a mesh tent and the Shangri-La 1 Tent is basically the shell or like a tarp piece that can be used as a 1 layer cover tent on its own or along with the Nest.

To keep the Golite Shangri-La 1 tent up you wil require at least 2 poles such as walking poles or sticks. 1 at the entrance and 1 at the opposite end to help keep its shape.

As far as having the Shangri-La Nest inside set up, it is just a matter of hooking up the inner mesh tent (Nest) onto internal hooks of the GoLite Shangri-La 1 Tent and voila, you have bug protection with good ventilation.

The two products very light are sold seperately, so if you are heading outdoors you will have to decide if you need an inner mesh tent. If not then you will just purchase the GoLite Shangri-La 1 tent by itself to offer up great water and wind protection.

There is a small vestibule area enough for your gear and for a stove to do some cooking.
