Called the SkyRise its different from other RTT’s in that it’s made of ripstop and its designed to be used with a simple 2 bar system. It’s therefore lighter than others (70 lbs, presumably for the 2 person) and doesn’t require a dedicated expo rack but possibly at the expense of durability or noise (been inside a backpacking tent in the wind?).

Prices are $999 to $1350 and there are 2 and 3 person models.

Personally, I still think that $1000 is overpriced for what is essentially a tent with an aluminum pan, ladder and foam mattress...but that’s the going rate.
