Has anyone given the SplitWing Shelter bundle a shot or any comments on the design?

So many good jokes in that video!

I think they decided on the name 'splitwing' first and worked up a design from there. Yeah, Nah.

Why do you believe this is the case?

It looks interesting, and good on them for doing something a little different from a typical tarp shelter. Based on that video it doesn't have a bathtub floor which would bother me. On their website they say they have added one, but you can't really see it in any of their photos. They also say it's designed with FKT (fastest known times?) in mind which definitely rules me out. I dunno, it seems a bit over-complicated to me with all the different bits. Very light though.

Looks like a bathtub floor to me, just need to get the inner!

"Why do you believe this is the case?" I can't see that the front split provides any useful feature over, say a zip, to justify the additional guy required and greater weather exposure. I might be missing something obvious, though.
