Our verdict
Weighing 1100 g (2 lb 7 oz), this semi-freestanding two-person, three-season tent uses inverted Tension-Ridge pole architecture to increase peak head height and maximize ventilation. Built with aluminum poles and nylon fly and floor fabrics, it features two doors and two vestibules. Reviewers praise the steep walls and effective condensation control. However, owners note that because the foot end must stake out, pitches require deliberate anchoring on rocky ground. The plain tradeoff is non-freestanding stakes for weight savings. It suits two backpackers prioritizing head clearance and ventilation.
