What the specs mean
The maker lists a 2-person capacity. That is a nominal count, not a promise that 2 full-width pads fit. Compare both the narrowest and widest floor widths, door access, and the pad outline before relying on a fit estimate. A missing minimum width is a reason to measure in person. Listed minimum weight is 1.86 lb (845 g); packaged weight is 2.10 lb (953 g). Use the packed figure for a full carry estimate.
Read the exact variant
2 person is the recorded option. Other sizes or revisions may have different dimensions, weight, or test labels.
