At a glance
Why this product
The Sherpa 4 is OVS's largest hybrid at 180 lbs for 4-person capacity. It gets a slightly thicker 2.5-inch mattress compared to the smaller Sherpas. The 420D polyester oxford keeps weight down but is less durable than the 600D ripstop on OVS's other lines. At 180 lbs for a 4-person tent, the weight-to-capacity ratio is good. Consider this if you want 4-person capacity with a low packed profile.
