Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL3 Tent

Backpacker April '07 says this is ''...the new poster child for space-to-weight ratio in the suddenly intriguing category of three-person shelters.''. The super-light Emerald Mountain 3 combines a lightweight, freestanding design with a roomy interior and two opposing D-shaped doors. Large, roomy vestibules provide generous space for wet gear with room to spare. DAC Featherlite® NSL pole system features eco-friendly anodizing, lightweight, strong poles with press-fit connectors, a hub and twist clips. Reverse combi poles combine varying diameter pole sections to capitalize on strength, weight savings and headroom. Nylon ripstop fly has a silicone treatment and waterproof polyurethane coating; mesh tent body and waterproof nylon floor. Strong hub/pole skeleton design and DAC Twist clip attachments provide quick and easy setup. Generous use of mesh means a well-ventilated tent. All seams on the rainfly and floor are taped for waterproof protection. Three mesh floor pockets keep tent well organized. For a lightweight set up during nice weather leave tent body behind; use footprint (sold separately) with poles, fly and stakes. Optional, zip-on, pole-supported front vestibule (sold separately) adds generous storage area. Includes stuff sacks, stakes and guylines. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. SL in product name refers to Super Light.
