Here are a couple things to note that are not on the page:
- it can be used as more of a flat tarp as well. I wouldn't use it that way unless it was dark and finding enough real estate to do more than bivy is a challenge. That happened once and it provided enough cover
- I've used it as a base shelter and then taking off one side for emergency use. Although it's pretty storm worthy even as a 3 sided shelter , what I have done is just toss all my gear on the one side, drop it, put a rock or something on it and then take the other side for emergency day use. Reconnect back at camp later.
- Dimensions not mentioned when using as a 4 person are roughly 8 ft wide, by 9'9" at the corners and 12'4" inches in the center. Using the guy outs it's very roomy for it's footprint
- How I found myself using it usually was with a trekking pole only when used small with a vestibule (2 person), and with an extender or CF pole when used as a 4 person
- I also suspect the dual doors will allow it to be used fairly well as a blind as well, since they can zip down from the top and allow you to peak out
I'm sure testers will chime in once they get units to play with which should be soon.
