From REI:
"Great for backpacking, rafting or kayak camping, this freestanding tent features a convenient backdoor and larger front vestibule. Featuring DAC Featherlite® SL poles for improved strength with less weight. Air flows easily through the two large doors, no-see-um mesh ceiling and side panels, preventing interior condensation. Stash Doors™ are mounted on a circular zippered track that allows opening from the side or bottom; then stash it in an internal mesh pocket. Three equal-length poles with a combination of pole sleeves and Swift Clips™ ensure quick setup. Large integral vestibule can be configured as an awning, half vestibule or full vestibule, as weather dictates. Optic white tent canopy allows increased light transmission for a more livable tent. SuperSeal Floor™ combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised side seams are taped for complete waterproofness. Reflective guy-out loops allow night visibility; reflective, noiseless zipper pulls are easy to see and eliminate that annoying jingle when it's windy. Non-wicking stake loops and fly attachments eliminate the possibility of wicking water into tent. Interior mesh pockets are waterproof towards the sidewalls and mesh inside; your stuff stays dry and visible. Treated with Tent Guard with Ultra-Fresh to help prevent the growth of odor-causing fungus and mildew to extend tent's life; a SD exclusive! Comes with stakes, guylines and tighteners and stuff sacks. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."
