Is that just mesh at the bottom far end of the tent? Just thinking a bit of a wet point?

Looks like its roomy but the fact its single wall puts me off a bit. I think single wall is fine if its nice and light but at 1.5kg, give or take, it seems quite heavy. My Vaude Hogan Ultralight 1 (mouthful!) weighs in around 1.3kg but has a seperate inner/outer. I bought it on offer for around £100.

For single walled I quite like the look of Tarptent and Mountain Laurel Designs. Seem big on the lightweight circuit and offer shelters that have the weight benefits of a tarp with the pitching convenience of a tent. They will definitely be on my shopping list if I'm ever in the market for a shelter again...

while looking into vaude and tarptent on YouTube I found this and thought I should share it
