I just saw the Notch listed on TT's site and haven't seen anything about this 1-person tent until now.

What is the difference between the Notch and the Stratospire 1?

Think of them as size regular, large, and extra large. They step up/down in weight by about 7 ounces each. The Notch is a double wall, double door/vestibule version of the Moment with trekking/vertical poles instead of an arch pole. The StratoSpires offset the trekking poles for more volume and headroom and add an extra door panel to increase the vestibule space.

Thanks for the quick response, Henry. At first glance I saw the similarities between the Notch and SS1 and, now that you mention it, can see how it evolved from the Moment too.
