We make The Deuce of Spades and MoonLight tents SPECS - sizes & weights | TheTentLab

Specs


• To better communicate their true size, we've started calling the three bigger tents the MoonLight 2+, 3+, & 4+
• Note that our tents come to you 100% ready to go: stakes and sacks, pole repair tube, even pre-attached guylines are included. The only thing we don't include is a footprint (because we don't think people should be using them without deciding specifically to do so) or a TentHat (our unique accessory that adds warmth and snugness).

Even our smallest tents easily and comfortably fit the number of people that the tent says it's made for. Our '+' models are pretty darned huge – they fit very tall and large people; like linebacker large. We believe that tent big enough to prevent your sleeping bag from swabbing the walls is a necessity, not a luxury.

The weight for comparing tents is the Minimum Weight. Since comparing tents is the main use for tent weights, manufacturer’s standardized on one way to do it that doesn’t penalize anyone for giving more stakes or guylines or a real owner’s manual or any extras like that. It drives us manufacturer's crazy knowing that some people are thinking one tent is lighter than another (based on "Packed weight" or something like that) just because one has fewer (or flimsier) stakes, or thinner rubber bands and plastic bags in the packaging or no included pole repair tube, or…and so on. For a fuller discussion, see the About Tent Weights page.
