Cricket

Their MLD Cricket tarp is comfortable, spacious and robust, just not enclosed, and breaks down fast.

A UK Cricket user who finds it pretty storm-worthy with decent pegs and a quality trekking pole; the open beak is rarely an issue with predictable winds.

Has never doubted their 0.75 DCF Cricket in rain, strong winds and over 2 inches of snow one night; at 6 ft with a Borah bivy it feels massive, though entry is less fun with one pole.

Has hiked with the Cricket as their primary shelter in the San Juans since the start of 2024 and it is perfect for them: pitch high or low, and never an issue in a storm.

Uses the Cricket regularly at or above treeline in the San Juans; it packs super small, feels spacious with nearly 360-degree protection, and often works without a bivy.

Used a silnylon Cricket on the AT and other trails before moving to DCF, and misses its super small packability.

After about seven nights in their MLD Cricket, four in rain, they rate it 4 out of 5 at 15 oz.

Has a silpoly Cricket and likes how flexibly it pitches, high for ventilation or very low with the front flared for rough weather; simple, functional and reliable.

Their regular-length wide Borah bivy fits under the Cricket with plenty of room, but attaching the bivy's head cord to the mitten hook pulled at an awkward angle.

Has never had to reposition their Cricket despite its bigger opening; wind shifts have rarely affected them, and sleeping farther back adds protection.
