<p>A super lightweight, surprisingly spacious shelter for two that will appeal to backpackers and cyclists. Even paddlers should find it sleeps them in the style to which they are accustomed. The wedge-shaped design with upper crosspole provides generous headroom and supports double doors and twin vestibules. Windows at either end of the tent body allow for early morning sky surveillance to determine whether an early start is a go, or it's time to sleep in.</p><p>Many ultralight shelters use very light fabrics throughout, including the floors, for minimum weight and packed size. However, the waterproofness of such floors may abrade away long before the rest of the tent wears out. The Gemini floor is slightly heavier, but significantly more durably waterproofed. The fly is sexy, superlight, silicone-treated nylon. In sum, the fabrics are strong where strength belongs, and light where that's right.</p><ul><li>Central hub pole system for rapid assembly. Floating connectors make repairs simple: raw tube can just be cut to length</li><li>Made in Vietnam, fabrics from Taiwan, frame from Korea</li></ul>
