I'd be interested in this too.

Just a suggestion Goose, you thought about something along the lines of the Fox Frontier just for maximum air flow in the summer months? I love my Pioneer, just could do with more ventage action.

Just curious, why the 150? I've the 100 2019 model which I get all my kit in plus two large dogs and still have quite a bit of room if I put everything under the bedchair and behind it.

The original ultralite was the perfect size for me.

Are the pioneers not free standing, as in needing storm poles to hold them up?what the advantage over a tempest or frontier?

Despite what makers may claim a flat back is not good in high winds, original titan and later pioneer were the best bivvies in gale force winds.

That new ultralight looks very good, practically half the weight of my normal 100, plus bigger vents at the back and taller. August eh...hmmm.
