Shelter
The pyramid tent is easy and very fast to pitch, but needs a bit of practice in order to quickly estimate the positions of the pegs. We recommend using a pole around 140cm long the first time (maybe two connected trekking poles). Roll the hood and secure it with the button. Close the doors – again use the snap buttons. Put the pole inside and stake one of the front liens and the back line about 150cm apart. Lean the pole to the back to give the tent more space. Keep in mind that the doors are almost vertical and the pole should be close to the door – slightly tilted to give you more room inside. Hold the two left (or right) edges with both hands to eyeball the peg positions and fix the lines – the side line should be parallel to the to the symmetry line of the shelter. Then do the same on the other side. Now you can go around the shelter and adjust the lines with the SwiftLocks. You can also adjust the tension of the lines and even the height while in the shelter. If you want to keep one door open, you can roll it and use the buttons to keep it up. If you want both doors open, you have to use the attachment point at the top of the shelter. When the door(s) are not fully closed or fully open, you can also attach their lines to the shelter to make adjustable curtains (or blinds).
With just a bit of practice, you should be able to go from rain cloak to a shelter and back to cloak, without getting in the rain.

Cloak (Rain Poncho)
Close the doors and unroll the hood. Before you put it on, connect the lines to the inside of the cloak. You need to connect all lines and the snap buttons are color coded – just match the colors. The length of the poncho can now be adjusted with the SwiftLocks on each line. We advise to mark the lines with a sharpie to make the conversion from shelter to rain cloak super-fast. After you put it on you can connect the buttons on your chest.
The hood is adjustable at the neck and at the back of the head with cord locks. You can also fold the top edge over once or twice to form a stiffer visor.
