The Scout Tent is a single-pole teepee-style tent from DOD Outdoors. It has a mesh inner sleeping chamber and an outer rainfly made of lightweight, durable fabric. It is rated for three adults, but it suits three children or two adults with extra room for gear.
To pitch it, peg out the corners and slide in the folding steel center pole. There are no pole sleeves or multi-pole frames. The whole kit weighs under 7 pounds and packs into the included compression bag.
The inner chamber is entirely mesh for airflow and to keep bugs out. Two ventilators at the top keep air moving to reduce condensation, even with the rainfly zipped closed. An inner pocket holds a phone and headlamp.
