I'm about to pull the pin on an inner for my trusty Locos Gear Khafra mid and just need some considered advice from the learned bushwalk.com experts. The purpose of purchasing the inner will be for those times when travelling with kids or wifey - just to make things a little more private, bug-free and comfortable for them. LocusGear have a myriad of colours, designs and options to choose from - but which would suit me best and most practically?
I was thinking of a 4/5 (footprint shape) rather than a full inner with a 15D Hybrid Ripstop (black) floor option. Thoughts? I was also thinking of the BreathableFabric/Mesh 'combo' for the walls. Thoughts? Now for the colour - when out in the field what practical colour fabric would the thoughtful, clever people on bushwalk.com suggest for the walls? (Options available: White, Lime, Yellow, Black, Grey, Dark Olive) For info. the colour of my Khafra is technically black but it's more of a silvery/grey - almost metallic in look.
To give you an idea of what the LG fabric/mesh 'combo' looks like here's a full one below. Not sure why it's posting picture sideways - how do I rotate it back?

Ultralight Bushwalking/backpacking is about more than just gear lists. Ultralight walkers carefully consider gear based on the environment they are entering, the weather forecast, their own skill, other people in the group. Gear and systems are tested and tweaked.
If you are new to this area then welcome - Please remember that although the same ultralight philosophy can be used in all environments that the specific gear and skill required will vary greatly. It is very dangerous to assume that you can just copy someone else's gear list, but you are encouraged to ask questions, learn and start reducing the pack weight and enjoying the freedom that comes.
