This is a larger, more comfortable model than our "normal" backpacking tents - roomier and more features, at less than 1/2 the weight of our car camping options. The design of this tent allows much of the same structure to be used in a both a 3-person and 4-person configuration.  This is a high quality tent that sells north of $500 at retail (don't lose it on the trail!), so it's at a pricier rent level than our base 1- and 2-person models.  You just tell us which option you want by using the drop-down box when checking out. 

In 3-person mode:

3 season, 2 doors, 2 vestibules; star gazing canopy L x W x H 84x74x46 in / 213x188x117 cm 2 Vestibules 10.5 sq. ft / 0.98 sq. m each Packed weight 7 lb 6 oz / 3.3 kg Trail weight 6 lb 10 oz / 3.0 kg

In 4-person mode:

3 season, 2 doors, 2 vestibules; star gazing canopy L x W x H 94x82x55 in / 239x208x140 cm 2 Vestibules 14 sq. ft / 1.3 sq. m each Packed weight 8 lb. 3 oz / 3.7 kg Trail weight 7 lb 8 oz / 3.4 kg (4 man-mode 55” height and 14 sq.ft. x 2 vestibules are industry best!)

This is a great option for these circumstances or needs:

Star gazing the night sky while sleeping
Need full width capacity for 3 backpackers and gear
Need to house 4 backpackers and gear (4-man mode)
Several backpackers, but limited camp site space
Car camping, but want to tie up less space in the vehicle
