Kifaru Sawtooth

Yes, the Sawtooth features a 72-inch peak height, which provides enough headroom for most people to stand comfortably in the center of the shelter.

It is rated for four-season use and designed to handle high winds and heavy snow loads. The inclusion of a stove jack allows you to use a wood stove, which is essential for staying warm during extended winter trips.

No, the Sawtooth is a floorless shelter. Many backcountry users prefer this design for its weight savings and the ability to set it up over uneven terrain, though you may want to bring a separate ground cloth if you prefer a barrier between you and the dirt.

Because it uses a tipi-style design, the setup is different from a traditional pole-and-sleeve tent. It relies on a center pole and proper staking to create tension, which takes a little practice to master but becomes very quick once you are familiar with the geometry.

With 116.8 square feet of floor area, there is ample space for two people to sleep comfortably alongside their gear. The semi-conical shape maximizes usable interior volume, making it feel much more spacious than a standard two-person backpacking tent.

The Sawtooth weighs 4.5 lbs. This is quite lightweight for a four-season shelter that offers this much interior space and the ability to run a stove.
