Some observations:
-It is very spacious, easy to set up and adjust, packed size and weight is very close to my friend's 1p Hubba which is awesome.
-It's only just long enough for me at 6'4. My feet brush the mesh with my head right at the other end but since it is only mesh at the doors it shouldn't be much of an issue.
-I still can't figure out how to clip the side walls up for ventilation as advertised. There is elastic there but it doesn't seem sufficiently long enough to reach the interior clip. Easy fix but weird problem.
-It is a little heavier than advertised: 1500g (53oz, on scales that read slightly under too) in the sack with 4 pegs, noticeably more than the advertised 49oz (1390g). The seam sealing would account for some of that extra weight so the real difference may only be ~60-70g but that's still a measurable difference and I'm not sure what would account for that. OK 100g is not a huge deal but it is a little disappointing nonetheless. Weight with the clip-in liner (also slightly heavier than spec at ~180g) and the third pole which I would use for winter conditions is just under 1900g, which is very close to the Anjan 3 (my second choice). But the Anjan 3 comes with 12 pegs and a repair kit.
-However the CB3 has 2 doors and more usable internal space than the Anjan, especially for tall people like me with the vertical from and back mesh walls.
Anyway I am still very happy with my choice. The design and construction quality are excellent overall and Henry was great to deal with, although there were a couple of delays and lost communications -- nothing severe but it did blow the total time from order to shipping date to about 2 months.
Exterior
- Not the best pitch but this is with the fly pole tensions unthreaded
Interior
- Spacious!
