Expert Reviews

• Asymmetrical doors for accessibility, with one being a D-shape and one a teardrop-shape that opens almost all the way.
• Two people can easily sit up inside.
• Comes with an included footprint that adds debris protection and a barrier against ground moisture.
• 68-Denier poly taffeta is highly puncture-resistant.
• Possible to set up in fast-pitch mode, without the tent body, reducing the total weight by a couple pounds.
• Reportedly no issues with condensation build-up, heavy rains, or heavy wind.
• Features a Lamp Shade Pocket, where you can hang your headlamp above you.
• Design increases the head space with a peak height of 48 inches.
• On the sides of the tent, solid material goes up to a little over halfway to increase privacy and block any winds.

Expert Reviews

• Ventilation is inadequate when the fly is zipped up.
• Not enough guyline for the myriad guy points on the fly.
• Fly is susceptible to flapping, and the heavy material sags once it gets wet.
• For solo-backpacking, this tent will take up most of your pack space.
• If you do fast-pitch, this significantly reduces bug protection.
