Overview
Built for hunters and backcountry travelers who want a shelter that stays light without feeling cramped, this three-person tent emphasizes fast setup and efficient use of space. Its minimal pole structure, Flybar volumizing clip, and door clips are designed to open up the interior, while triangulated guyouts and corner struts add room at the foot and help keep sleeping gear away from tent walls. The OSMO poly-nylon ripstop fabric uses PFAS-free recycled yarns, and the tent includes two large doors, two vestibules, Nightlight Pockets, and a Divvy Cube stuff sack for compact packing. It suits trips where low pack weight, quick pitching, and a livable interior matter, though the lightweight design means it is focused on efficiency rather than excess space.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The minimal pole structure is designed for fast setup, but it also means interior volume depends more on the Flybar, door clips, and guy-outs than on a more complex frame.
- At 26 oz., the tent is very packable, but the lightweight design may require more careful site selection and staking discipline to get the intended livable space.
- The tent uses a mix of white no-see-um mesh at the sides and black mesh at the top, which supports stargazing but also means the shelter is built with ventilation and visibility in mind rather than maximum privacy.
- The Divvy Cube helps the tent pack small, but its rectangular shape is a trade-off versus a more traditional stuff sack if you prefer a simpler, less structured packing system.
