Under 30 seconds from bag to standing shelter. There are no poles to thread and no tools to find: you lift the hexagonal frame, lock it, and the tent holds its own shape. The floor measures roughly 7.9 by 7.9 feet, which is enough for a single queen-size air mattress with room left along the walls for packs, boots, and a cooler.
The six-sided cabin profile gives you near-vertical walls, so you are not crawling around a sloped dome to change clothes. Two to four people fit without stacking gear on each other. Reinforced poles and thickened waterproof Oxford fabric keep it planted when the wind picks up in an exposed site, and the breathable mesh roof moves warm air out on a still night. Leave the fly off and you can watch the sky from your bag.
When light rain starts, the rainfly clips over the top for another layer of cover. Packing down, the whole thing folds to 6.3 by 6.3 by 34.6 inches and slides into the included carry bag, a shape that lies flat along the floor of a trunk instead of taking up the middle. It ships in green. Pitch it on level, cleared ground, stake it out, and let the fabric dry completely before storage so nothing grows in the folds.
