What makes you think I copied somebody? I didn't copy anybody,I knew what I wanted,that's what it turned out like.Granted,I didn't reinvent the wheel,I used ideas from everybody and a couple of my own.Like the back window has an eyebrow over it,so you can leave it open when it rains,you won't see that on many(if any)other backpack style tents.

The camo fabric is 1.9oz before coatings,and it is double coated.One for waterproofness,one for blackout.If you have a light on inside at night,it doesn't light up the tent on the outside.

The camo material is USMC Marpat,it's heavy by today's standards.Total weight,tent,aluminum poles,stakes,groundcloth,stuffsack,everything,is 4.5 pounds.It stuffs loosely into a sack,12" x 6",less the poles and ground cloth,that gets carried on my rear rack.I like to have the ground cloth available in case I need to get some shade or get out of the rain during the day.

Measures 92"L x 46"W x 40"H.Has 2 inside pockets and an attic,2 vents in the top and a window in the rear.It's big for one person but I keep my panniers inside so the varments don't chew holes in them.

I've had it out for a few weekend overnighters,rain,fog,95 degree weather,desert,beach.So far so good,no condensation at all,has good flow thru the vents,you can leave the door and rear window open in the rain....so far so good.
