An inner height of 82cm, enabling most users to sit up comfortably. The front porch can accommodate kit and provide shelter when preparing food. A half mesh door provides good ventilation and additional airflow can be achieved by inserting the shortest pole in the eyelet on the front hem of the flysheet. FastPack option – use with the flysheet and groundsheet protector for an even lighter shelter. Versatile uses – the tent can be pitched with the flysheet first, with the inner added afterwards, or the inner can be pitched on its own (or first) with the option of quickly adding the flysheet if required.

This weight excludes the owner’s manual pack and fabric repair patches that come with the tent after purchase.
