@@tropicsandoceans7945 can I get some real specs for the interior please 🙏 I have a hard time believing it's only 2 feet 11 inches wide . That's very narrow . Maybe that's the foot area ??? Thanks !
@@tropicsandoceans7945 Just to confirm as I'm getting different spec #s. Is your interior floor space 2 ft 11 inches wide or is it, as I'm reading elsewhere, only 24 inches wide?
Have you tried setting it up with trekking poles before? I recently got one of these and am hoping to rely on trekking poles for the trip. Would you recommend otherwise?
Just thinking about it dont see how you could do it. Might get tent body up, then the issue of the fly. Two of the poles go half way up, act like bows to tension the tent,you would have to figure a way for your poles to do that, most likely a guy line, then as said how to get the fly on and keep out rain. Only way to see is experiment in the backyard I guess.
@@tropicsandoceans7945 oops I recently got the HEX 2, not the Helix (from the same company) which is a trekking pole tent. It can be used with poles too. Misread the title. Thanks for posting informative vids on RUclips for the rest of us to watch!
From a post from a guy that did a week long Iceland hike: "Sierra Designs Lookout 4season tent; heavy but excellent in storms. Saved our beacon in 40 mph winds/rain on an exposed camping site. Same storm flattened/destroyed 4 other tents pitched at lower elevation. We unwisely omitted the 1 lbs fitted ground sheet because of weight. Should of brought it we ended up camping on obsidian rocks." I would not trust this tent for your trip. They save weight by using a lot of netting in the tent body (like alot of tents)which may not offer the protection you want. I would think about a bit more substantial tent.
Yes, would.like to do that. I have only spent 2 nights in it , one of which it rained. Tent was fine. Unfortunately I am in the middle of a major move, hence unable to do any trips. However my new home is in the Adirondack Mountains of New York so if I can get settled, its a great place to do some hikes/camping.
Nice. I just bought one of these and it looks easy to put up. Thanks for posting.
Yes, the pole ends are color coded to the corners. Then it's just clips, no sleeves. Found it quite easy. Good luck with yours.

Yes the floor is 2 ft 11in wide. With the door on.the side, its not a roblem
It's not a problem. The vestibule provides cooking space. I do like the height as I can sit up straight , so for one person this works for me.

With those free-floating pole ends on top that support the vestibules, I wonder if the top would pinch together in the wind.
Shouldn't, as there is a cross.pole
Any input about how this tent performs in rain and wind? In particular, for Iceland... Thanks!

Rain proff ???
Which the width of the floor of this tent?
See previous posts, 2 on width.
how big is it inside
From my notes it is 36 in wide, 84in long, with 37.5 in max inside ht. As stated with the vestibule I feel it is enough room for one. (I'm 6 ft tall)
Can do a review on it please u will be the first one here on YT
