Jannu Details
Guy lines on the poles, many with attachment loops designed to wrap around pole or pole crossing points, and on the vent cover, increase stability in poor conditions.
Adjustable roof vent can be closed with snow-proof panel, and is accessible from inside of the tent.
Separate vent cover protects open vent from snow and rain.
High bathtub floor keeps out ground water.
4 integrated stowage pockets.
Full no-see-um mesh on inner tent door is covered by a zipper adjustable, fabric panel for all-season comfort.
Asymmetric door opening allows one side to be situated out of the weather.
J Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles make for a very lightweight yet supremely stable tent.
J All season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjust- able fabric panels.
J Dome construction with multiple pole crossing points provide outstanding snow-load handling capability.
J The Jannu has has a good amount of room for two occupants and their gear.
J Linked but separable inner and outer tent for simul- taneous pitching.
J Self-supporting dome design requires only the vestibule to be pegged, and the straightforward short sleeve and clip pole system make for quick, easy set up.
J A single entrance and vestibule afford easy access and plenty of storage space, but keep the weight very low.
J An optional footprint covers the entire area of the outer tent, including the vestibule. It connects directly to the tent, and can be left attached during pitching.
J The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone (below) requires 6 optional pole holders (sold separately; see page 80).
