I tested the ticking on vacation and was satisfied. The closure would, however, be better. One closes it on the side with velcro and he is still on a good deal, so the body is not fully protected. In addition, the tick would be better if it had a headboard. Or. it has one, but for a standard head that is too small and you are not really protected .... unless you're small enough and creeps completely in the sleeping bag inside;) So it would be better to have a headboard that you can pull, so really the whole body is protected. On the whole, the tick is but ok and served its purpose. However, there is, I think, for heavily infested areas insects and people who are often stung, not really helpful. Much spray / cream or whatever is definitely one to
