From Moosejaw:
"Free footprint with your tent! After you place your order just email orders@moosejaw.com with your order number and mention coupon code"
From REI:
"This freestanding, ultra-light, three-season, two-person tent offers shelter without weighing you down. Upgraded materials; super-light nylon ripstop rainfly and taffeta floor combine with a durable nylon ripstop body to save weight. Catenary-cut seams provide a taut pitch; off-ground perimeter seam and factory-taped floor seam protect against weather penetration. Clear UVX film windows in vestibule and overhead rainfly allow views to the outside and let in light. New Atlas Scandium SL poles are very light, super strong and completely field serviceable. Atlas Floating pole connectors mean poles flex with less stress at the joints, weigh less with more strength, and can be fixed without tools. Locking pole tips ease setup; non-wicking grommet tabs adjust with buckles. Mesh D-door, canopy and rear provide excellent ventilation. Large pockets and hang loops make organization inside the tent easy. Large stake out loops accept both skis and snow pickets. Carefully constructed with back-tacked stress points, locking pole tips and bias-bound zippers. Comes with stuff sacks, aluminum Y-pegs, Seam Grip® and owner's manual. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Closeout."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Mountain Hard Wear's free standing Approach is an ideal three-season backcountry tent for backpackers, cyclists and fastpackers who don't want to deal with the weighty matters associated with post-packing remorse. Unlike other tents in the Mountain Hard Wear backcountry series, the Approach uses lighter Easton poles and a completely different fabric design to shave weight while maintaining waterproof performance. The low profile design (the interior height is 35.5 inches) sheds wind without compromising stability in stormy weather. Large internal pockets along the sides of the wall make it easy to organize your gear. Canopy: 40 denier, nylon ripstop fabric Fly: 30 denier, silicone- and polyurethane-coated nylon Floor: 70 denier, nylon taffeta with a 2,000-mm. Polyeather Urethane coating Three Easton 7178 E9 poles and a brow pole Nylon webbing grommet tabs and YKK water resistant zippers Excellent for three-season backpacking, cycling and paddling trips Accommodates two adults Five mesh windows for views and cross venting Large internal side wall pockets for organizing gear Extra strong nylon mesh no-see-um netting Stuff, pole and peg sacks included, along with aluminum Y-pegs, seam grip and owner's manual Vestibule area: 8.5 sq. ft.
