To quote myself on this thread...Looks like a solplex and duplex to me ... I may be mistaken of course
Trev did a follow up vid to that one, pitched it again a few days later and there was zero damage, not like the beefier MSR
I watched my mates Vaude Taurus? of a similar design get flattened like that once, just popped straight back up when the wind dropped.

The Cloud Up has a well deserved reputation for flapping like mad in strong wind, for some reason when Naturehike copied the Big Agnes Fly Creek they left off the side guy lines.
I am more than a bit surprised with the MSR's poles.

@Enzo wouldn't carry all that weight : )Knot has gone into hot tent territory which should make @Enzo happy. Can't help thinking there is something fire-resistant missing around that chimney though.

Not sure a stove would be that effective with that big hole!
I fear the idea of a hot tent is more fun to think about than practically useful for what I'm likely to do.
And as @FOX160 said 800g!
Odd dimension to measure across at an angle like that. Think it's probably less snow worthy being 1.6m high and ~3 wide. Sl3 is same hight but significantly less wide. Though I still think 6 sided shelters are not a great use of space and harder to pitch.
