The Mountain Star 3P is a freestanding three-person backpacking tent built around an external three-pole frame with six ground contact points, so it holds up in strong wind from any direction. The fly and body connect, letting you pitch it in rain without soaking the interior, and the inner mesh body with a bathtub floor can be removed for fly-only or fly-and-footprint setups. It sleeps three shoulder to shoulder or two with full gear, with dual doors, eight interior pockets and two clotheslines. Against rivals it trades a little weight for weatherproofing and livable space rather than chasing the lightest possible shelter.

The Mountain Star 3P is a three-person tent with a three-pole structure that has six points of contact, built to handle heavy wind from any angle. Ultralight fabrics keep the weight backpack friendly. The tent is freestanding, so it can be set up anywhere, including rocky terrain.
The external pole structure has a connected fly and body. This makes setup easy and keeps the inside dry in a downpour, even during setup and take down. The inner body is mesh with a bathtub-style floor to keep bugs and water out. It is removable, so the tent can be pitched as fly only or as fly and footprint.
Dual entries let the tent sleep up to three people, or two people with full sets of gear. It has ample head room and an asymmetric floor shape for shoulder-to-shoulder sleeping. Inside are eight storage pockets, two built-in clotheslines and webbing loops for drying or stowing gear.
