This Moss original is a rare find! This shelter can be adjusted to block the wind/rain from whichever side it is blowing in from by lowering that side. I took the pictures with it set up on a slope to show that the ground doesn’t have to be level. There are a few faint spots but you have to look pretty hard to see them. Feel free to contact me with any questions or for more pictures. The following copy describes this amazing shelter better then I could. The last picture is not of this actual parawing but was included as an example of use. 1987 Moss Tent Catalogue. Bill Moss’ design for the. Made a big difference between an enjoyable vacation and one that was wet and miserable. The Moss Parawing was one amazing innovation. Unlike a conventional tarp/dining fly, the Parawing hyberbolic paraboloid compound curves offered more protection and strength by facilitating the spilling of wind and rain. The Parawing provides weight conscious campers with ample cooking and dining shelter… While the 19′ model is especially suited to family camping as a dining fly, or for added flair and protection at picnics, barbecues or parties at home or on the beach. First three reviews from Trailspace Outdoor Gear Review site. We bought our Moss ParaWing in the mid to late 90s. After walking around our campground following a violent wind storm that had trashed most every other tarp/cover/screen room, I saw a ParaWing, made by Moss Tents, for the first time. It was one of the few covers still standing. I was impressed with the quality and endurance, and we ordered one and haven’t had a problem since. It completely covers a large picnic table with room to stand upright under it. Its design allows it to flex with the wind, so can withstand quite a lot of weather. One person can set it up with no problem, and set ups get easier with practice. When our kids were in sports, I would bring it for shade and/or rain protection should the need arise. Ability to stand up to strong winds if set up correctly. Standing headroom if set up with poles. Compacts to a small size making it easy to transport. Not avalable any more in the 19 foot size from anyone. I really loved my Moss Parawing, originally bought as a tarp for kayaking trips in B. Where finding a dry place to stack gear, cook, and stay out of the weather other than the tent was the only choice. The routine was to pack the Parawing at the top of the front hatch, so when you landed at a campsite in a drizzly or hard rain you could pop it out, set it up and create a dry place to lay your gear from your kayak. From there you would go set up your tents and then camp and cook and socialize under the tarp. In the morning it was simple to just reverse the order and move on in great comfort. If the Parawing is set up correctly “Pole end to the wind ” the unique shape of the tarp took on the shape of an air foil and would easily handle winds to around 25 to 30 mph without any issue. Really getting to love the use of the Parawing I started using it as a shade tarp in the desert and for work and literally would go nowhere without it. In many cases it was the only shade in miles and the only way to get out of the sun.
