All 23ZERO roof top tents have sky windows with zippered fly mesh fitted. These can be used with or without the tropical flysheet attached. The flysheet may be removed from the roof top tent to promote sky views while laying down or ventilation can be improved during inclement weather by having the sky window open and tropical fly sheet attached.
