Cirque ASL 2

 

Product Description

The "Cirque ASL 2" is an award-winning tent designed and manufactured by REI. Created to be a lightweight tent capable of withstanding the elements during four seasons, the "Cirque ASL 2" is a relatively inexpensive tent option when compared to its competitors. With features comparable of more expensive four-season tents while maintaining its affordability for the general backpacker or mountaineer, the "Cirque ASL 2" is not to be overlooked or underestimated.

The "ASL" part of the model name stands for "All Season Light", in reference to being a lightweight tent for all four seasons.

Features

Dual doors and vestibules provide user-friendly entry/exit and space for gear

Dual AirLift vents redirect windforce to increase tent strength while also providing ventilation

Generous asymmetrical floor plan and reverse-combi pole design places the tent's volume where it maximizes comfort

Clip and pole-sleeve design combine to provide easy setup, enhanced ventilation between fly and canopy and structural integrity

Mesh ceiling and door panels provide excellent ventilation and allow stargazing in clear weather; nylon panels seal them shut in lousy weather

DAC Featherlite® NSL pole system features eco-friendly anodizing and super light, strong poles with press-fit connectors

Insider floor seams are engineered to create a nice, clean taut pitch and maximize floor space; factory seam-taping ensures a waterproof seal

Vestibule doors can be rolled up half way or completely out of the way

Leak-proof rainfly construction ensures that water won't sneak through susceptible areas such as guyout points and zippers

Attention to detail shows with reflective guy points, adjustable cleat-lock tie-downs on rainfly and inside tent pockets to keep small items organized

Comes with guylines and tighteners, stakes, pole repair tube, pole and stake bags and tapered, easy-to-stuff compression stuff sack
Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only
