Advantages
- Storm-proof
- Largely freestanding
- Can be easily moved or rotated when pitched
- Mostly more space in the inner tent, therefore a more pleasant feeling of space
Disadvantages
- Mostly heavier
- Smaller vestibules
- Internal tent not necessarily protected from rain when the vestibule is open

Aeron 1
The Aeron 1 is a symmetrical, semi-free-standing hybrid tent for one person. Two aluminium hubs on the poles ensure high wind stability and make it a reliable companion on trekking tours, bike packing adventures, or solo camping trips. First, the inner tent is set up. Then the flysheet is stretched over it. The additional ridge pole provides rain protection for the inner tent. At the ends of the ridge pole there is a fabric quiver that serves to hold a trekking pole. This further improves wind stability. The semi-free-standing design not only makes it easier to set up, but also allows for flexible camping on different surfaces. The inner tent is mostly made of mosquito netting. Steeply rising walls ensure that the full lying surface of 215 cm can be used optimally. Two large mesh pockets provide space for small items of equipment.

Due to the stable construction, the Aurora 1 is also suitable for moderate winter use. The fly sheet has four closeable apex ventilation flaps. When opened, the fly door can be set up with additional poles, which offers extra rain protection. With an interior height of 93 cm, the inner tent allows enough space to sit comfortably, with space on the side to store gear. In addition, the inner tent has two sealable air vents and one pocket to stash stuff. The D-shaped inner tent doors have mosquito netting on the upper half of the door.
