1P Bug Shelter - a lightweight net tent for tarp camping
The 1P Bug Shelter is the roomier inner for the Cirriform system that also works with many basic tarps. Near-vertical end walls and a deep tub provide elbow room and keep fabric from encroaching on your face and feet while you sleep. It's built for hikers who spend most of their shelter time horizontal, but want a little more comfort when they're not - whether that's reading before bed or just having room to change layers.

Elbow Room
The end walls rise nearly vertically at the head and foot, keeping the fabric off your face and feet while you sleep. The tub flares wider toward the top, providing more usable space than the footprint suggests - closer to a tent experience than our Bug Bivy.
Dual Entry
The side entry is the everyday option when paired with the Cirriform - easy to get in and out. Use the front entry when weather moves in to keep your sleeping area covered. With other tarps, having both options gives you flexibility depending on how you've pitched your tarp.
Pair it with a tarp
The Bug Shelter is designed to pair with the 1P or 2P Cirriform, and that's where it performs best. It also works with most tapered or flat tarps - for a good pitch, use a ridgeline at least 92" long, ideally longer for some end overhang. A 7' x 9' or 7'/5' x 9' tarp is about the smallest we recommend.
If you want an inner that pairs more easily with a wider range of tarps, the Y-zip Bug Bivy is the more versatile option.
Notes/FAQ:
- Do I need a groundsheet? A groundsheet is not required, but using one will help extend the life of any shelter floor.
- Do I need to seal the seams? No, the seams at the corners of the tub are taped.
- How much headroom does it have? The head apex sits at roughly 42" (107cm). Whether you can sit up comfortably depends on your height, torso length, sleeping pad thickness, and personal preference. Many hikers find it comfortable; taller hikers may want to think of it more as a glorified bivy.
- Can I use it without a tarp? The Bug Shelter provides no rain protection on its own. On nice nights, it can be pitched without a tarp using additional guyline or our stand-alone rigging kit - see the Set-up & Use tab for details.
- Will this work with a mid-style tarp? No - the Bug Shelter is designed for A-frame tarps. The height of the shelter makes clearance too tight under the sloping walls of a pyramid-style tarp.

Required items (not included):
The items needed to pitch your Bug Shelter will vary depending on your approach. See the Set up & Use tab for more info.
- A tarp: For rain protection
- Front Pole: At least ~44" (~111cm)(a taller pole is ok but you'll want to keep it under ~45" (114cm) if using it with a 1P Cirriform)
-
Rear Pole: At least ~31" (~79cm)
(taller pole is ok) - Rigging: If you plan to pitch your Bug Shelter on its own (not under a tarp) you will need additional guyline or our Stand-alone rigging kit. If using tent poles or trekking poles without baskets, you may also need two of our guyline grommets (not needed with stand-alone kit). See the Set up & Use tab for more information.

Rigging
Your Bug Shelter comes with the following rigging included. Use this rigging to connect your Bug Shelter to your tarp per the instructions below.
-
1/16" Shockcord: 4.57m | 15'
3/32" Shockcord: 0.91m | 3'
This is enough to connect the Bug Shelter to the 1P Cirriform and many small to mid-size a-frame tarps. - Tensionlocks: 4
- Mitten hooks: 6
- Mini Barrel cord locks: 2
Installing the rigging at the Apexes
3/32" Shock cord is used to suspend your Bug Shelter from your tarp's apexes or ridgeline. Using 10" (25cm) at the head end and 20" (51cm) at the foot is a good starting point for use with the 1P Cirriform.
- Note: You will do the following twice; once for each end of the net-tent.
- At one end of the shock cord, tie on a mitten hook. We suggest a clinch knot.
- Thread the cord through the webbing loop at the net-tent's apexes (front to back at the head end, and back to front at the foot end).
- Pass the cord through a cord lock.
- Tie a loop on the loose end of the cord. We suggest a simple overhand loop knot.
Installing rigging at the corners
1/16" Shock cord is used to connect the top corners of the tub to your tarp's corners. We recommend installing tensionlocks (10mm size) at the floor's corners for easy adjustment. For use with the 1P Cirriform, start with lengths of 30" (76cm) at the front corners and 24" (61cm) at the rear corners.
- Using a girth hitch, install a tensionlock on the upper tie-out loop at each of the tub's corners.
- Tie a mitten hook to the end of each cord. We like to use a clinch knot.
- Thread the untied end of the shockcord through the tensioner as shown (first through the middle opening from bottom to top, then through the remaining hole from top to bottom).
- Tie a loop in the untied end of the cord. We like to use an overhand loop knot.
- Repeat at each corner
If you want to pitch the Bug Shelter by itself (without a tarp), there are two approaches:
- With additional guyline: You'll need six stakes, your poles and additional guyline for the apexes. 72" of line for the front and 60" for the foot is plenty. See guyline options here.
- Stand alone rigging kit: With our stand alone rigging kit, the Bug Shelter pitches with four stakes and your poles.
The pitching guide linked at the top of the page provides instruction on each method.

Solid, grippy, and they don’t roll away!
Style: 10 Pound, Pair
I bought these because I’m finally trying to build a consistent home workout routine and didn't want to drop a fortune on name-brand weights. I’ve been using this 10lb pair for about a month now for everything from overhead presses to lunges, and honestly, they’re exactly what I was looking for.
The Pros:
• That Neoprene Grip: The coating is fantastic. Even when my hands get pretty sweaty halfway through a workout, I don’t feel like I’m going to drop them. It’s a much "softer" feel than cold metal or hard plastic.
• The Hex Shape: This is a small detail that makes a huge difference. Since the ends are hexagonal, they don't roll across the floor when I set them down between sets. They also stay put if I’m using them for "renegade rows" or floor work.
• Compact Size: They aren’t bulky. I can easily shove them under my bed or in the corner of the closet when I’m done.
• No Weird Odor: I was worried they might smell like a tire factory (which happens with some rubber-coated weights), but these had almost no scent right out of the box.
The Cons:
• Handle Diameter: The handles are a little on the thicker side. I have medium-sized hands and it’s fine, but if you have very small hands, they might feel a bit chunky to wrap your fingers all the way around.
• Color Scuffs: The navy blue looks great, but if you clank them together or drop them on concrete, the coating can scuff or show dust pretty easily.
The Verdict:
If you just need a reliable set of weights for HIIT, Pilates, or general strength training, these are a no-brainer. You're basically getting gym-quality equipment for a fraction of the price. I’ll probably be back for the 15lb set in a few months!

Simple, Comfortable, and Exactly What You Expect
Style: Rack with 3 Pairs (5, 10, and 15 Pound)
These are pretty much exactly what you want from a set of dumbbells — simple, functional, and no nonsense. The neoprene coating gives them a comfortable grip and keeps them from feeling slick in your hands, especially during longer workouts or if your hands get sweaty.
The coating also helps keep them from banging up floors or making as much noise compared to bare metal weights, which is nice if you’re working out at home.
Weight accuracy seems fine for general fitness use, and they’ve worked great for things like accessory movements, shoulder work, lighter presses, rehab-style exercises, and general muscle toning. The shape also helps keep them from rolling around everywhere when set down.
They’re not fancy, and they’re not trying to be — they’re just dependable dumbbells that do what they’re supposed to do at a fair price.
If you want straightforward hand weights for home workouts without overthinking it, these are a solid buy.

Reliable, Comfortable Dumbbells I Actually Use Every Day
Style: 12 Pound, Pair, Style: 12 Pound, Pair
I’ve been using the Amazon Basics Neoprene Dumbbell Hand Weights daily, and they’ve honestly been perfect for my routine. Whether I’m doing a quick morning workout or adding resistance to a longer session, these have held up really well.
The neoprene coating makes a big difference—it provides a comfortable, non-slip grip, even during longer workouts or when my hands get a little sweaty. They’re also easy to clean and don’t have that strong rubber smell some weights can have.
I really appreciate the hex shape too. They stay put when I set them down (no rolling across the floor), which makes switching between exercises quick and frustration-free. The weight feels evenly distributed and well-balanced, so movements feel controlled and smooth.
Overall, these are simple, no-frills dumbbells that just work. If you’re looking for reliable hand weights for everyday use—whether you’re a beginner or just need something dependable for home workouts—these are a great choice.

Great quality and perfect for home workouts!
Style: Rack with 3 Pairs (3, 5, and 8 Pound)
I’m really happy with this dumbbell set. The weights are clearly labeled (3 lb, 5 lb, and 8 lb), which makes it super convenient to switch between exercises. The neoprene coating feels comfortable in hand and provides a good grip, even during longer workouts.
The storage stand is a big plus—it keeps everything organized and saves space, which is perfect for a small home gym. The colors are also nice and make it easy to quickly grab the weight you need.
Overall, this is a great set for beginners or anyone looking to add light strength training to their routine. Highly recommend!

I’m A PT AND USING THEM IN MY CLINIC. PLS READ HONEST AND THOROUGH REVIEW.
Style: 15 Pound, Pair
I have been a PHYSICAL THERAPIST FOR 30 YEARS and I BOUGHT THESE FOR MY CLINIC. THESE WEIGHTS ARE COVERED IN A GRIPPING MATERIAL, NEOPRENE, MAKING IT COMFORTABLE and EASIER TO USE, ALLOWS YOU TO NOT LOSE YOUR GRIP, and IT IMPROVES THE SAFETY OF THE USER. I WILL BE BUYING THE 12&20 lb sets! THE VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY IS WONDERFUL!! AMAZON BASICS REALLY CAME THROUGH. It DID NOT INCLUDE AN INSTRUCTION GUIDE TO USE WEIGHTS SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY. STELLAR FORM IS ALWAYS ESSENTIAL.
MY WEIGHTS WENT UP TO 10 POUNDS, SO I DEFINITELY NEEDED ADDITIONAL WEIGHTS for those who can SAFELY TRANSITION . I MAINLY WORK AS A MANUAL THERAPIST …USING ONLY MY HANDS, AND MY BRAIN. TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT ACCORDINGLY.
(**ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO PT KNOWS THIS KIND OF ONE ON ONE TREATMENT IS UNHEARD OF**)
I IMPLEMENTED MYOFASCIAL RELEASE, TRIGGER POINT THERAPY, DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE, AND APPROPRIATE STRETCHING AND EXERCISE . ONCE PATIENTS WERE ABLE, I INITIATED THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE. I WAS GETTING SO MANY REFERRALS THAT I MOVED FROM MY SMALL SPACE AND GOT A LARGER SPACE THAT LOOKS LIKE A TYPICAL PT CLINIC. I STILL EMPLOY ONE ON ONE TREATMENT, NO JUGGLING SEVERAL PATIENTS IN AN HOUR. I HAVE HIRED HELP TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH EXERCISE AND STRETCHING. I PURCHASED TWO ADDITIONAL SETS ITHE SET IT I DID TO FIRST CHECK THEM OUT. I ADORE THESE AND HAVE SINCE ORDERED OTHER SETS. I LOVE TO WORKOUT AND I NEEDED TO USE THESE WEIGHTS MYSELF!! THERE ARE ALSO PATIENTS OF MINE WHO WILL PROGRESS TO THESE AS WELL. I AM SUPER IMPRESSED WITH THESE WEIGHTS AND CANNOT WAIT TO RECEIVE MY TWO OTHER SETS!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
EVEN IF YOU SWEAT, YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO HOLD ONTO THESE WEIGHTS COMFORTABLY AND SAFELY. SAFETY IS KEY, ALWAYS. I WAS EXTREMELY DELIGHTED THAT THEY ARE SOLD AS A SET BECAUSE MANY ARE SOLD SEPARATELY. THEY FIT PROPERLY ON A UNIVERSAL WEIGHT STAND, SO THEY ARE VERY EASY TO STORE. I CANT WAIT TO GET MY OTHER SETS! IT IS REALLY SAFE AND COMFORTABLE TO USE THESE WEIGHTS.
THEY DID NOT GIVE OFF AN ODD ODOR, which is A HUGE PLUS because SOME OTHER BRANDS SMELL HEAVILY OF PLASTIC OR A CHEMICAL TYPE ODOR. THERE WAS NO ODOR AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE PLUS. I AM COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT THESE WEIGHTS WILL LAST A LONG TIME BECAUSE OF HOW WELL THEY ARE MADE. YOU CANNOT BEAT THE PRICE EITHER!!
THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATE FOR PROFESSIONAL USE, AND, THEY ARE MEANT FOR PERSONAL USE AS WELL. SOMETIMES YOU JUST CANNOT GET TO THE GYM SO THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE KEY. HAND WEIGHTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXERCISE EACH MUSCLE OF THE TORSO AND ARMS. THERE ARE SOME EXCELLENT WEIGHT CHARTS OUT THERE TO SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THAT. IF YOU ARE GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY, THEN YOUR THERAPIST CAN INSTRUCT YOU AND KEEP YOU IN GOOD FORM. YOU COULD POSSIBLY HURT YOURSELF IF YOU WORKOUT INCORRECTLY. AS FAR AS THE LOWER EXTREMITIES, YOU CAN DO GROSS MOTOR EXERCISES BY HOLDING THESE WEIGHTS TO GET YOUR LEG MUSCLES BY DOING SQUATS, WALKING LUNGES, TOE RAISES, AND MORE. I DONT BELIEVE THAT MANY PEOPLE REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH YOU CAN DO FULL BODY EXERCISES WITH JUST TWO HAND WEIGHTS.
IN CONCLUSION , THESE ARE EXCELLENT WEIGHTS THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND TO MY PATIENTS OR FRIENDS. THIS IS A HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT THAT WONT BREAK YOUR PIGGY BANK. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VERY HIGHLY!. BUY WITHOUT RESERVATION!! A+++
