2 persons - from 1040g
The Aston XL is a bigger version of the Aston double wall tent. It can comfortably protect two tall persons (up to 2m00) from bad weather with the innertent, and three to four persons without it.
The Aston tipi has 8 anchor points to the ground, as well as 9 guylines points, for good wind resistance. Unlike most tipis,
the central pole is shifted forward, outside of the inner tent. This
allows for a pleasant living space between sleepers.

Rainfly options
Ultralight fabric : -120gChanges the standard fabric (silpoly 30D) for an ultralight fabric with high resistance/weight ratio (silnylon 20D sil/sil 2.500mm). Wind and weather resistance remains similar. In wet weather, the silnylon may stretch slightly. This remains insensitive if the rainfly was well tensed from the start. If necessary, increasing the height of the pole by a few cm allows the rainfly to be tightened. Durable, but will require a little more care than 30D silpoly.
