Sleeping alone?

If you are under 6 foot or so and smell so bad that nobody wants to get near you; This is your tent. It's snug for two and palatial for one. Bonus feature: The pole sections are shorter than most and pack wherever you like! They even fit atop a touring bike rear rack without sticking out the back. See my little brother here:

The red (MSR) pole sleeve contains poles for a Henry Shires Cloudburst 2, The nifty little grey bag is the HiLight poles. Neat and light. By the way; That's an Ibex Ridgeline T-shirt which has had it's wicking performance compromised by our tour embroidery backing (worth it for impressing the babies) . This shot was taken on day seven of the tour with no rain and temps in the nineties. Get one. The jersey had not been washed and didn't reek. If your still reading, the green bike in the back is my sexy Kogswell.
