This two-person tent is a free-standing tent meaning you only need the tent poles to pitch it. Its unique design and construction allows you three different set up configurations. In addition to the full set up with tent and fly, the fly is designed to be pitched on its own as a tarp tent or expedient shelter. On beautiful nights you can pitch it without the fly and gaze at the stars. Lots of mesh for good ventilation and a gear loft inside to hang clothes or equipment. Single tent door has small vestibule with double zipper for ventilation and exit. Comes with tent, fly, two poles, eight stakes and carrying bags for everything. This is a great tent whether you are starting out close to town or conquering the North Coast Trail. No rips, tears or holes.
