The Aston XL tipi is a bigger version of the Aston tipi. 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 10 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.

Specifications You can choose between two versions of this tent, N or R . Both have the same dimensions, but use different fabrics and zipper.
Aston XL N is the normal version, the best choice for most hikers and travellers. Fabrics are light yet strong. Aston XL R is the reinforced version, for long-distance trips and rough terrain. Fabrics have been chosen with emphasis on resistance and durability, and zippers are stronger.
