The patent pending Rainbow and Double Rainbow incorporate trekking poles at their base to become the world's first single-arch, free-standing shelters. Or just stake the 4 corners and forget the trekking poles. Exceptionally roomy and light at 2 pounds for the Rainbow and 2 1/2 pounds for the Double Rainbow. The hybrid bathtub floor walls clip up to interior roof corners when needed in stormy weather. Floor walls unclip for enhanced ventilation and floor area in good weather.

- Most Innovative Design Ever Review by Legeag1
-
Price Value Quality I have been canoeing and backpacking for 35 years, have owned or used more tents than I can remember, and this is the most innovative tent design since the introduction of the geodesic dome decades ago. The single long pole, combined with the (semi) permanently installed short spreader pole at the top of the ridge line with full mesh side walls provide quick set-up, tons of head room, and superb ventilation. The twin vestibules can easily accommodate all the gear two backpackers could need. The ability to set the vestibules up with the porch option allows you to keep the doors open in light-to-moderate rain and make the tent feel immense. The 88 x 50 floor is a mansion for one and fine for two. The free-standing option is nice if you're in a really rocky site. All this, in a 41 oz package that disappears into your pack, for $260? Yep. I cannot recommend this tent highly enough.
