    The CB3 has a low fly edge–about 2.5" all the way around–so, yes, if you can manage a very small snow wall.

    Thank you for the quick response, Mr. Shires. I will continue to watch this one.

    Sorry Travis. The only good beer is farther north. He will have to come to Canada for a trade.

    Yeah That CB3 is looking purty man.

    Feelin all nostalgic for my old Cloudburst. At least I sold it to my friend so I can still use it.

    ooooH I just noticed the optional 3rd pole. Henry has his eyes on my wallet.

    Fantastic! I figured with the recent sale that a new Moment must be brewing. I've been waiting a while to pull the trigger on a new solo tent. Well, the Moment has arrived. :) I'll be ordering in a few weeks. Thanks for the keen work Henry and co.

    Henry or Franco, can you give separate weights of fly, inner, and included crossing pole?
    Thx.

    The interior is 10 oz (10.1 actually), the fly + stakes + stuffsack is 34-10 = 20 oz. Of the 20 oz, the included arch pole is 6.5 ounces. The "crossing pole" is a 7-ounce option.

    Wow! Thank you Henry, a winter shelter (non-storm) about 1.5 lbs. I could lose 2 lbs. from using my BD Hilight. I may have to hold off getting that new, large capacity backpack for winter trips, until the dust settles.

    Thanks for the quick reply! Again, looks like an awesome versatile shelter (esp for someone like me who doesn't use trekking poles). Can't wait to order.

    Henry,

    Will you be including a setup video of the CB3 when it's ready for market?

    Will you also be including a setup video while being really drunk for our Scottish friends?

    Wow! that Cloudburst 3 looks great to fulfill my present search for a light 2 person double walled 2 person palace . With my new Wide inflatable (synmat LW)….typical 2 person shelters don't really work. I just hope that it'll be reasonably priced.

    I note that the Cloudburst 3 can add an optional hoop pole in the middle, making it a true tunnel tent. You may not have to wait for Roger's! It's also the same height the entire length.

    Of course it's definitely heavier than the Rainshadow.

    The CB3 looks pretty nice Henry. Love the center pole option.

    "Wait. There's ALSO gear porn!?!!?! My late night web searches have been far too narrow…"

    Travis you need to work on your search parameters.

    Search: "girls with big tents"…

    I think Mrs. M would find the Cloudburst 3 highly satisfactory.
