Looking for pics of a Cuben MLD Cricket w/porch pitched low

[KRS]

I have been in a funk trying to find the perfect one person shelter for my needs. I have looked at the cricket for a while but have never seen one in real life. I have surfed the web to no avail looking for a picture of a MLD Cuben Cricket with the front pitched low for bad weather. Does anyone have a pic so I can see if would work for me. I know the silnylon version can but thats not what I’m looking for. Thanks

Here’s my Cuben one after getting it April 2017 pitched low (no extensions on either pole).

So I have the newer model (2017) in DCF/Cuben but don’t really think the porch can really go down significantly unless letting it flap.

It’s a pretty big shelter (basically a XL Solomid), and this is the first “vestibule” I can sorta hunch- stand in at 6 ft tall with
no extensions on the poles (no moves up, just slide off any jacket)

Thanks Guys, Doug in that thread the pic of the cubes cricket pitched low, is there a lot of loose fabric or is it petty taunt? BTW thats pitched very low did not think it could be done with the cubes version. Thanks

Kurt, I think it was fairly taut, but I don’t remember, that was quite some time ago and my old brain isn’t that good on the memory front.

Gonna have to try that alternative pitch out.  Early summer Los Angeles didn’t really give me motivation to try a storm pitch.
