For high-wind locales like Patagonia or Alaska, the Fitzroy can’t be beat! As our strongest shelter, the Fitzroy’s amazing strength and stability are a result of a unique pole configuration and wind-spilling profile. On the inside, four Easton 7075-E9 aluminum poles intersect seven times to create an ultra-stable superstructure, while maximizing headroom and usable floor space. On the outside, innovative three-point, self-equalizing guylines stabilize each side of the tent in angry winds. And as we’ve all learned from experience, weeks can be spent waiting out a storm in the mountains—that’s why the Fitzroy has been designed with comfortable living in mind. Both doors are equipped with pole-supported awnings and zippered vents for maximum air-circulation and ease of exit/entry. Weighing only six pounds, 6 ounces and setting up in mere minutes, the Fitzroy is both extremely light and easy to use for a shelter that offers this much protection and roominess.

first impressionsSeam-sealing this tent is a major undertaking requiring several hours of tedious work. Then it needs 1-2 days to dry.
The tent is harder to setup than others but it feels super-solid. It can be setup by one person but a second person is useful.
It is a decent size for two people but not much extra space.
