Meadowlark 2 XL

Roofnest's soft-shell entry point, and the cheapest tent they sell. It delivers a 3.60 m² three-person floor for well under half the price of the hardshell Condor, at the cost of a fabric cover instead of a shell.

What stands out

Well under half the price of Roofnest's hardshells
3.60 m² floor for three
54 kg suits mid-size SUVs

What to weigh up

Soft cover means slower pack-down in bad weather
Thicker 33 cm closed profile than a wedge hardshell
No heater port or skylight
