    It is true that moving to nanoseeum mesh might save about 1.5 ounces but, yes, the solid fabric is more durable. It also provides a more effective condensation barrier--droplets cannot get...

    It is an OPTIONAL interior. Yes, the mesh interior certainly offers better views and it's the standard interior for the Notch. The partial solid interior is better suited to cold, windy weather and...

    Yes, like the Scarp and Hogback, the StratoSpire has a full clip-in/clip-out interior. You can leave the interior attached for setup/takedown or install/detach it separately.
