The front inner tent can be utilized as additional storage or an extra bedroom and is removable to expand the living space. Key features include a durable, waterproof, sewn-in groundsheet for the living area, a light and warm-toned flysheet roof that creates a bright interior, and mesh pockets within the inner tents to keep small items organized. For ventilation, the front door has double zips with a full mesh panel for insect-free airflow, and an additional side door with a mesh panel offers enhanced ventilation and flexible access. The flysheet is made of Outtex® 3000 Select polyester, providing excellent waterproofing with a hydrostatic head of 3000 mm and UPF 30+ UV protection. The inner tent is constructed from breathable polyester, and the floor is PU coated Taffeta polyester. The groundsheet for the living area is double-coated waterproof polyethylene.
