Rei Co-op Quarter Dome SL

A non-freestanding tent relies on tension from stakes and guy lines to maintain its shape and stand upright. While this design significantly reduces weight and bulk, it requires a bit more care to pitch properly on hard or rocky ground where staking is difficult.

Yes, that weight is accurate for the tent body, fly, and poles. Keep in mind that you will still need to account for the weight of your stakes and footprint, which are essential for a non-freestanding setup.

With 28.7 square feet of floor space, it offers a snug fit for two standard sleeping pads. It is designed for weight-conscious backpackers who prioritize efficiency over sprawling space, though the vertical wall design helps it feel less claustrophobic than other ultralight models.

The 21.5 square feet of vestibule space is quite generous for a tent of this weight class. You should have enough room to store two backpacks and boots comfortably outside the sleeping area while keeping them protected from the elements.

With a peak height of 38 inches, you will likely need to sit cross-legged or hunched over inside. If you are over six feet tall, you may find the length tight, so be sure to check your sleeping pad dimensions against the floor specs before heading out.
