Hi All,

I’m thinking about buying a Samaya 2.5 for my winter trips. It looks so light!
Have any of you tried it yet? How does it resist the wind?

Finally: True size.

Instead of pretending that you could almost cram four 20-inch pads into a tent (if you don’t mind two people rubbing against the walls all night and everybody rubbing against each other), they call it 2.5. At 79×83 inches that is room for two 30-inch pads plus a little breathing room. Or space for Fido or Junior. Or three 25-inch pads (close fit, but not crammed together).

Awesome.

There are some reviews in French. Not surprising since it is a French company.
Try doing a search for “tente Samaya 2.5 avis” then use an online machine translator to read the text.

(It may help to specify the search to focus on websites in French/France).

The floor has the length and width you mention, but it is hexagon (not a rectangle), like this:

They don’t appear to give a spec for how wide the ends are (where there is the full length), but the width that has the full length appears to be about 50% or 42″.

Oh, good catch. So it’s really a baller one-person tent.

Too bad I can’t fix my earlier post. Still might be interesting but for a different reason.
