The present disclosure provides for a sleep apparatus with a base having an asymmetric design, featuring an integrated sleeve such that a pad may be inserted into the sleeve. The sleep apparatus may also have a net that provides for an enclosure. The asymmetric design of the base and the pad that fits into the integrated sleeve provide for a substantially flat surface for a user to lie on while using this sleep apparatus. This substantially flat surface creates a more-uniform pressure against a user's body allowing for the sleep apparatus to be comfortably resided-in for longer periods of time when compared with a traditional hammock. The net of the present invention creates a means for suspending the insect net above a user. The sleep apparatus may be optionally equipped with a storage pouch.

An adapter panel for use with an undercover and canopy for weather protection of a hammock is disclosed. An example includes an undercover having side edges. A canopy with a substantially diamond shape. An adapter panel has a shape corresponding to the shape of the canopy. The adapter panel has a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge spaced apart by a body of the adapter panel. The adapter panel joins to the undercover along only the first longitudinal edge of the adapter panel. The adapter panel joins to the canopy along only the second longitudinal edge of the adapter panel. The body of the adapter panel joins the undercover to the canopy.

A system, method, and multipurpose hammock including a base of interconnected webbing forming a support structure. An outer edge of the base includes multiple loops within the webbing. The multipurpose hammock also includes a hammock body attached to the base. The hammock body includes one or connectors proximate a longitudinal edge of the hammock body. The one or more connectors secure at least the longitudinal edges of the hammock body when connected together and one or more liners removable attached to the one or more connectors.

A portable bivouac sack configured to be self-deploy when released from its compact storage configuration. The bivouac sack comprises an elongated bag shell made of waterproof material with an elongated ground piece and a top panel. The sack is closed on one end, open at an opposite end, and configured to receive a sleeping bag. The top panel is shorter than the ground piece to form a transverse opening into the bag shell and a longitudinally aligned pan. Disposed over the pan is a self-deploying frame that folds into a compact circular configuration for storage and automatically unfolds and self-deploys when released to form an expanded frame. Attached to the frame is a flexible outer cover that expands with the frame to form a dome over the pan. The frame cover extends downward towards the pan and a sliding connector selective attaches the frame cover to the pan to provide egress and ingress to the protected area under the dome. An optional outer cover is provided that fits over the dome.

Embodiments of the invention provide a canopy system and a method for manufacturing at least a portion of the canopy system. The canopy system may include: a canopy that includes a shaft and a canopy ball coupled to the shaft; a double socket arm connected to the canopy via the canopy ball; and a mount, the mount having a mounting ball, the mount connected to the double socket arm via the mounting ball, the canopy system thus configured for a wide range of canopy articulation with respect to the mount. Alternative embodiments are provided for the shaft, double socket arm and mounts. A manufacturing process is provided for securing the canopy ball to the shaft.

An adjustable, removable mesh canopy is adapted to fit umbrellas and parasols while providing a barrier to mosquitoes and other insects. A removable weight may be affixed to the bottom of the net to keep the net flush with the ground during movement and wind and to inhibit insect entry into the enclosed space. The top includes an adjustable drawstring opening which can be adjusted to fit umbrellas or parasols that vary in diameter. A closed seam runs down the side, and a resealable opening may be installed on the side of the net so that a user can temporarily extend a hand outside of the net through the opening.

A mosquito control net includes an occupant chamber and a trap chamber disposed over the occupant chamber. The trap chamber has one or more openings disposed on an outer surface thereof, through which mosquitos enter the trap chamber, the openings having receptacles attached therein and extending within the trap chamber to inhibit egression of mosquitos from the trap chamber after entry. A method for preventing mosquito bites for a subject can include providing such a mosquito control net and having the subject occupy it. A kit of parts for converting a conventional mosquito control net into a trapping mosquito control net can comprise a funnel-shaped receptacle surrounded by a bag, the bag being substantially impermeable to mosquitos and the receptacle and/or the bag being attachable to a top surface of the conventional mosquito control net to form a trap compartment.
