Will this keep midges out?
G'dsay Renee,
Oztrail list the Mozzie Dome as have No-See-Um mesh, so theoretically yes, this should keep the midges out.
Hi, is there a footprint available for this product?
G'day Mat,
I've just double checked and there is no footprint available for the Mozzie Dome 1 Tent.
I'm looking for a 1 man hike tent with a large vestibule and if the Mozzie Dome II fly is compatible with the Mozzie Dome I tent it would be ideal???
G'day Maurie,
The Mozzie Dome II Fly isn't designed to work with the Mozzie Dome I Tent, so whilst you might be able to somehow make it work, it won't line up well and probably won't work for you.
Hi, any chance for a weight with only the net, no poles or accessories? Looking at hanging it instead of making it freestanding.
G'day Joseph,
We don't have any stock at the minute so I gave Oztrail a call to find out for you. Murphy's Law, they're out of stock of the Oztrail Mozzie Dome I Tents too. They did some digging around with specs etc. for me and worked out that without poles and accessories, it would weigh around the 500g mark but we couldn't get an exact weight I'm sorry.
Is this ok to use on top of a stretcher or does it need to be pegged down to hold its shape? Thanks
G'day Tony,
If your stretcher is the same size (or bigger) than the base of the Oztrail Mozzie Dome I tent, then you'll have no worries with putting it on the stretcher. If the stretcher is smaller though, then it will sag at the ends and lose shape, unfortunately.
I bought this tent and had it shipped within Australia for friends to bring to NZ for me. I am also purchasing aluminium poles to reduce the weight. As the tent is still in Australia, please provide the pole specs I will need for this tent. I think that means diameter, section lengths, and how many lengths. Thanks.
G'day Ana,
I've just had a look at an Oztrail Mozzie Dome I Tent for you and have the lengths for you. There are 2 x 349cm poles, made up of 9 equal length pieces each. The diameter of those poles is 7.9mm. The third pole is 120cm long and is made up of 3 equal length pieces, this one is 8.5mm in diameter.
Can I scrunch it down into a stuff-it sack without damaging it? Not including the poles of course.
G'day Ben,
We haven't tried this ourselves, but theoretically yes you could. You would probably want to take care when putting it into a stuff sack though, and roll/fold it instead of scrunching.
Is the floor material waterproof? Cheers
Hi Daniel, The floor of the mozzie dome one is made from uvtex ultra polyester with heavy duty taffeta taped seams. The material feels very similar to the material of the fly you can buy separately which claims to be waterproof. Oztrail make no claim about the floor however given that the material is the same it should stand up to a certain level of water. You may have noticed that the more expensive tents will actually give you a waterhead rating for the material so you know how waterproof it actually is. Hopefully this helps you out.
