High bathtub floor keeps out ground water.
4 Integrated stowage pockets.
J Kerlon 1800 outer tent fabric and 10 mm poles make for an exceptionally strong and stable tent.
J All season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjust- able fabric panels.
J Tunnel construction offers maximum space to weight ratio and is the ideal choice for mobile journeys.
J Both Keron and Keron GT have plenty of room for the stated number of occupants and their gear.
J Linked but separable inner and outer tent for simul- taneous pitching.
J Tunnel design requires only four pegs for pitching, and the simple, single-opening, continuous sleeve and pole tensioner pole system is quick to pitch and remarkably stable.
J Dual entrances and vestibules ensure that one door can always be situated out of the wind and provide flexible entry/exit and storage options.
KERON
Full no-see-um mesh on inner tent doors is covered by a zipper adjustable, fabric panel for all-season comfort.
Extended vestibule on the GT version allows for greater storage space and flexibility.
KERON GT VESTIBULE
GT vestibule door opens from bottom, sides or top and is backed with a removable mesh door.
J One standard and one extended vestibule in the Keron GT afford even more gear storage and comfort.
J An optional footprint covers the entire area of the outer tent, including the vestibules. It connects directly to the tent, and can be left attached dur- ing pitching.
J The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires 6 optional pole holders (sold separately; see page 80).
Keron models are ideal for demanding use no matter the season: they offer roominess, comfort, great strength and reliability at a very reasonable weight.

Keron & Keron GT Details
Guy lines on the vestibule vent hoods and looped guy lines affixed to twin attachments on each side of each pole increase stability in poor conditions.
Large flaps protect zippers from the rain.
Adjustable vents on the ends are backed with adjustable no-see-um mesh and air-permeable snow-proof panels, both of which are accessible from inside or outside the tent.
