The Elk River 1 sleeps one in a sloping tunnel design that uses a clip-on external single hoop with a ridge pole to create and maintain an aerodynamic shape − the occupant has enough head room to sit in the inner close to its door. Entry to the tent is via a front door that folds to one side. This features a double zip so the door can be cracked open at the top for additional ventilation. The front porch is large enough for backpack and boots.
