DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Front and rear low-sill D doors, big mesh areas, storm-flapped windows, lantern hook and wall organisers show unusually careful budget ergonomics.

LONGEVITY

The PE floor and reinforced loops are practical for budget longevity; fully dry the UVTex fly after humid trips and replace stakes if they bend. It is a moderate/tropical, not storm, shelter.
