This thread is for questions on the backcountry shelter and the "backcountry shelter 2".

"The BCS is currently undergoing a minor redesign. The new version will be very similar, but a little lighter."

How much Longer till the new version is completed?

Soon

Thanks for asking

Can you elaborate on the differences between the BCS and the BCS2?

Kevin or Angie will be able to give better detail, but i can say a few things i know.

The new green material is a bit better in the weight department, and a bit more water "proof".

If i have all my details correct, the panel is also being incorporated into the shelter as one piece.

Here are the basic changes

Integrating add in panel
Adding zipper orientation like LBO
Stove jack moves to center panel
Rear is a little wider and better for sleeping across like LBO
A bit more maximizing space via guy outs

Overall it should be a bit roomier and a bit more usable / user friendly and loose a few ounces

We hope to have photos soon

Thanks, looking forward to seeing the pictures.

The panel is being integrated so there will be no removable panel, but the weight gain is very minimal from the standard configuration without the panel. We should have photos and specs in the next few days.
