From another portal member I've discovered that here is a new Kodiak model tent on the market. The triangular windows on the side are new. I'm curous does anyone yet have this model tent and wish to comment on the new windows and how well they the work?
Very interesting. Thanks for your post. I did not know about that particular model/design or the reseller. I placed a phone call to Kodiak to inquire about the new tent design. I spoke to Mike, I was curious to know how the triangular window zips open and closed. Is it two zippers or one or? He unfortunately did not know. The new tent design has only been available for the last month or so and at the present time is being exclusively sold through one reseller.
On Kodiak's website it's known as the:10x10 ft. Flex-Bow VX Canvas Tent Model 6011 or 10x14 ft. Flex-Bow VX Canvas Tent Model 6041

It really seems like a great addition. I like the ability to unzip the window and look out if I need to. "****** was that noise? I don't' know, let me look, unzip" Or, perhaps there is a nice natural feature one wants to gaze upon, or for ventilation purposes, unzip and look out. Etc. However, I'm slightly apprehensive about new designs for something major like shelter. Previously there was a complete canvas wall, now it has been cut and I presume new stitching inserted for the window, which could be a possible point of failure in the future? Am I being overly concerned? Does anyone yet have this model tent and wish to comment?

Makes perfect sense to me. For a number of years I've traveled to Tampa in the summer time and it's very hot and humid so it would be an enormous advantage to have the extra ventilation!
