But use it solo, like another tester did, and “you’ll feel like a king.” The single 6.6-square-foot front vestibule was big enough for food bags and boots, but packs had to go outside and entering/exiting the squat door isn’t easy. Two peakbagging testers (6’2” and 5’10”) spent the night in -10☏ bags, which practically filled the entire tent. Not surprisingly given the weight, the 30-square-foot floor is merely adequate. And the three-pole set-up (a spine pole and two ribs, which click together intuitively enough to pitch the tent in the dark while wearing thick gloves) barely shook in Tetons snow and gusty winds at treeline in New Hampshire’s Presidential Range.
