A long ridge-pole tent with a pitched roof supported by two upright posts, the ends closed and the sides staked. Oiled linen walls shed water; a small door at one end closes with cord. Merchants and soldiers favor the larger ridged tents for parties of two or three; the streamlined design balances protection with pack-weight.
