The Shonen Tent is a versatile and lightweight shelter designed for a more stylish outdoor adventure. The Shonen’s distinctive shape, with peaked ridge line and portico, might put you in mind of a Bedouin desert tent. With the inner tent installed, you get two rooms: large meshed-in sleeping chamber and a floorless antechamber to store gear undercover. Or remove the inner tent for a larger floorless covered space that you can use throughout the day.

Polycotton tents provide a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to release humidity and insulate to keep in warmth. Polycotton tents are also durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton that is 60-70% polyester, 30-40% cotton.
As a mix of synthetic and natural fiber - polycotton possesses the best characteristics of both. Synthetic tents don’t breathe, so they become humid when occupied overnight. And synthetic fabrics tear and melt more easily than natural fabrics. Synthetics have almost no ability to hold warmth. At the other end of the spectrum, all-cotton tents are comfortable, durable, and hold warmth but they are heavy and bulky. They also require treatment to achieve waterproofness. Polycotton tents are comfortable, durable, waterproof, and hold warmth without being heavy and bulky.
Polycotton tarps offer a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to allow air circulation and are durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton composed of 60-70% polyester and 30-40% cotton.
As a blend of synthetic and natural fibers, polycotton combines the best characteristics of both materials. Synthetic fabrics are prone to tearing and melting more easily than natural ones. On the other hand, all-cotton tarps, while durable and quiet, are heavy, bulky, and require regular treatment to maintain waterproofness. Polycotton tarps provide comfort, durability, waterproof qualities, and quietness without the bulkiness or heaviness.
Absolutely love this tent. Can’t wait for fall and winter to use as a warming hut/chill station. Set up isn’t a total breeze but anything this size wouldn’t be. A 7 pound wall tent that’s amazing.
