Overview

Pre bent aluminum poles push the walls outward to add headroom, while a HangTight internal system stabilizes the frame and gives gear hanging points. Two doors and mesh panels open the tent to airflow and views.

Livable space and two doors make it comfortable for three people or two with gear. Weight is high for long backpacking trips, and floor dimensions are not listed.

Who it's for

Car campers, family trips and short backpacking outings suit this tent. Thru hikers and winter campers should look at lighter or four season shelters.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Two doors, no climbing over
  • Fly rolls back for stargazing
  • Pre-bent poles add space
Cons
  • Heavy for long backpacking
  • Floor dimensions not listed
  • Peak height not given
  • Three season only

Performance notes

Pre bent poles increase wall steepness, which adds usable space. A bathtub floor blocks ground water, and the coated fly sheds rain. Mesh panels move air to reduce condensation.
