Why this product
Why the CVT Mt. Rainier Softshell 72"?
The Mt. Rainier is where CVT's clamshell line goes large. At 72 inches wide it sleeps 3 comfortably, and the 30-second clamshell setup is dramatically faster than CVT's hardshell models. 150 lbs is reasonable for a 3-person clamshell. If you want the CVT mattress and canvas quality but cannot tolerate the 5-minute setup of their hardshells, this is the obvious alternative.
