Dual Vestibules and Lots of Space

Even though its ultralight, the Lunar Orbiter doesn’t compromise on space. It has 21 square feet of interior living area and two 16-square-foot vestibules for gear storage.

Dual doors provide awesome access, while the removable gear loft offers some added organization.

The Lunar Orbiter's steep walls and headroom add a touch of comfort, making it a standout in the ultralight tent market.
