Now includes a 9mm center pole, 2 large mesh pockets and an adjustable floor width feature (Moment DW) to accommodate 2.  Hard to improve the Scarp1, but Henry did.

Hmmmm…

I love my Scarp 2 and my Moment DW. I’ve “winterized” both B/C I felt they would make decent winter tents, and they have.

But the Scarp 1 seems to be a bit heavy for even a winter solo tent. Yes, it’s roomy if you tend to be a bit on the claustrophobic side or have a canine companion who just has to sleep inside, but other than that I prefer the wind-worthy Moment DW.

Eric,

I need to clarity a possible misunderstanding regarding the Moment DW  / Scarp 1 comparison you made. Just so I get this on the table the Moment DW is neither as strong, stable, or as roomy as the Scarp 1.  The new Scarp 1 interior makes sleeping two (at least for two smaller adults) quite viable and puts the space/weight/strength ratio into a different class.

Those are all good changes, in my opinion,…….especially the floor.

Here’s an old thread discussing this shaped floor compared to a simple rectangle.
