One of the stoutest ultra light tents ever made and, with the dry pitch technology, a “must have” tent for the pacific north west (or the tropics). You will never find this tent in this condition at this price. In photos and from a distance, this tent looks fairly ho hum. But once you get up close and take a good look at it, you soon realize that this is a very special and very cool tent. The tent is remarkably versatile, a great choice for weekend dashes to the summit as well as long haul treks down the spine of the continent.
Whether you prefer the beach or the desert, the northern pacific rim or the adirondacks, this tent is technically unsurpassed as a sturdy, go anywhere double wall construction ultra light 2 person shelter. Some say it can be used in 4 seasons, but, there are better solutions for those cold cold blizzard winter storm warning type back country trips.
But, the fact that some would consider taking this tent into the tetons in the winter says something about how stout this ultra light shelter really is. This one owner tent has never been used. It has been pitched a couple of times on grass just to test out the very cool dry pitch technology.
This resulted in the heavy duty tyvek based tent foot print getting soiled with dirt and grass stains on the bottom. But, no worries with this tent, its in perfect condition. (photos of the pitched tent are stock photos).
The tent stuff sack although from mountain hardware is not the original, although very similar to it. An exceptional tent, in excellent condition, ready to rock n roll. Smoke free, pet free environment. Here’s the description for this tent.
