This two-person, single wall, extreme mountain tent is built to be lightweight, strong, waterproof, easy to set up. It's designed to deal with all high-altitude conditions. There are two designs: 1 door and 2 door.
Two equal-size Easton aluminum poles fit inside the tent eliminating pole sleeves. Poles are held in place with Twistlock Pole Ties which are easy to work while wearing gloves or mitts and are much stronger than Velcro. Walls are steep and floor shape is simple, thus optimizing living space, eliminating wasted space and increasing headroom. Precise catenary cut makes tent skin tight on the poles and quiet in heavy winds; door awning is designed to remain quiet, even in a gale. Floor material is finely woven high-denier nylon taffeta laminated to a strong waterproof film; coating is on the inside to protect from wear and tear. Tent interior is pale yellow for a bright, natural look; floors are black so they dry fast, even in cold weather. Adjustable weatherproof vents keeps the warm air inside the tent in the winter and provide cool airflow in the summer, even during a rainstorm. Door zippers remain velvety smooth, resist wind and are treated with silicone to prevent water wicking and the inevitable freeze. Door toggles to the side when open and no-see-em mesh is placed on the interior to prevent ice build-up. Two interior net pockets hold odds and ends. Three-point equalizing guyline tie-downs provide security in extreme winds. Multiple light-reflecting tie-downs are helpful in the dark. Designed with as few seams as possible, all are fully factory taped to create a completely leakproof environment; Seam Grip provides extra protection. Seams are all sewn with super heavy-duty nylon thread and every stress point is reinforced for extra security. The single wall design eliminates a layer of fabric thus eliminates the annoying sounds of fabric flapping in the wind.
