Why this product
The Falcon 3 EVO XL Air adds a third sleeping position to Roofnest's clamshell line at 160 lbs. Same LINE-X coated shell and blackout canvas as the standard Falcon 3. The 30 lb weight increase over the standard model is reasonable for the added capacity. If you need 3-person clamshell capacity in a mid-range tent with Roofnest's shell protection features, this is a balanced option.
