http://www.campingcentral.com.au/caribee-get-up-3-person-instant-pop-up-tent/The Get Up 3 is a twin skin instant pop-up tent which is designed for serious campers. The tent has both an outer shell and a pre-attached inner skin, which provides extra comfort when camping.
Made from a PU coated 2000mm double skin polyester outer with taped seams plus breathable polyester inner ensure the tent is very water resistant, durable and reliable. The Get Up has a vestibule at the door for gear storage. The front vestibule also has a sewn in floor.
