NOT FOR

·tall two-person luxury
·exposed storm camps

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

A simple self-supporting layout is beginner-friendly and compact. The trade-off is an intentionally narrow two-person interior and front-entry/limited gear-storage ergonomics.

LONGEVITY

CleverHiker says the 20D silicone nylon “will last many seasons.” Use the footprint/groundsheet on abrasive sites, dry before packing, and avoid treating it as a stormproof expedition shelter.
