Why this product
The Ruggedized Autana 3 upgrades the standard Autana with a 3-plus-season rating for extended camping seasons. At 145 lbs it is 15 lbs heavier than the standard Explorer Autana 3, reflecting the additional insulation or material upgrades. The included annex carries over. If you use the Autana platform but camp into shoulder seasons where temperatures drop, the Ruggedized version provides that extra capability for a modest weight increase.
