Why this product

Why the OVS Lhotse 2 Clamshell?

The Lhotse 2 is a heavy-duty 2-person clamshell at 230 lbs. That weight suggests a robust build, but it does limit the vehicles that can carry it. Same 600D polyester ripstop and 2.5-inch mattress as other OVS models. The weight is hard to justify compared to lighter alternatives unless you specifically value the Lhotse's construction. Check your payload capacity carefully before choosing this over lighter OVS options.
