Yes there was a lot of chatter about this on Twitter at the weekend, so much so we've almost sold out today!
This is a new design approach for Luxe. I managed to get it up between rain showers on Saturday and all the fittings on it are of the lighter, more contemporary style used by much more expensive brands.
The zip is a double ended J Type, so if you want ventilation or to cook in there it is much easy than you might think. The SL3 had the worst problem for reaching for the zip when the door was closed, but I solved that by attaching some cord on a baby Krab during the night.
Yes you can velcro the vent closed. The support slides out of the way.
It is designed to work at maximum walking pole height (not all poles) of 135cm, so of course the spike slots into the ground but the basket will hold it in place.
At 6'2" the inner is okay on a Thermarest but I wouldn't suggest it for people any taller. But it is the useable width space inside which is appealing. Tall enough for me to sit up and pull clothes off. Plenty of space left for gear and kit.
The 50/50 inner is fine nylon and midge netting.
2 adults? Yes like the Hex3 either side of the pole without any inner, but you will need to make up your own groundsheet, (Or use an old Golite one of course)
Talking of which I tried the inner in a WickiUp3 which I think is the same size as the Golite series and the fit was perfect on the floor and (naturally) short in the height.
Ookworks are charging more than this just for an inner, so you can see the excellent value it offers.
That's about all I can offer at the moment. I will be producing a video as soon as I can, however the forecast is yet more rain this week, which is hampering things currently. I've got several tents to do which will be of interest I know, not just this one.
