ALPS Mountaineering Felis

Yes, it features a straightforward two-pole, free-standing design that is intuitive to assemble alone. You won't need to wrestle with complex hubs or tensioning systems to get it pitched quickly.

The Felis is designed with bikepackers in mind. It packs down to 6 x 17 inches and includes a compression sack with side-release buckles, allowing you to securely strap it to your handlebars or frame without it shifting during your ride.

The tent body is constructed with half-mesh walls, which significantly improves airflow compared to solid-wall tents. This design helps manage interior moisture effectively, though you should always ensure the rainfly is properly tensioned to maximize ventilation.

The tent offers 20 square feet of floor space, plus a 10-square-foot vestibule for your pack and boots. Inside, you'll find integrated storage pockets and a gear loft to keep smaller essentials organized and off the floor.

No, a footprint is not included with this tent. Given the 2000 mm waterproof rating on the floor, you may want to purchase a separate ground cloth or footprint to protect the recycled fabric from abrasion and extend the life of your shelter.

The total weight is 4.06 lbs. While it is a solid, reliable choice for weekend trips or bikepacking, ultralight hikers looking to shave every ounce might find lighter options, though those often sacrifice the durability and ease of use found here.
