This two-person, four-season, single wall tent is lightweight, super strong, waterproof and easy to set up--perfect for extreme mountaineering.

  • Same design as the I-Tent, except it is 5" longer and 3" wider for taller persons and those who desire extra room
  • Ideal in all high-altitude conditions, this tent can be pitched on ledges that are no larger than your sofa!
  • Two equal-size Easton aluminum poles fit inside the tent eliminating pole sleeves; setup is a breeze from inside the tent
  • Poles are held in place with Twistlock Pole Ties which are easy to work while wearing gloves or mitts
  • 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 keep 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
  • Optional vestibule (sold separately)
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only
  • Comes with stakes, guylines, Seam Grip, Monoject® syringe applicator, stuff sacks and instruction/care manual

Please note: Bibler products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Made with unique ToddTex™, this tent is totally waterproof, windproof and extremely breathable. ToddTex fabric is constructed with an ultralight ripstop nylon outer face, a 1.1 ounce polyester inner face that wicks water out as fast as a paper towel, and a PTFE (polytetraflouroethylene) membrane laminated inbetweeen. The single wall design eliminates a layer of fabric thus eliminates the annoying sounds of fabric flapping in the wind.

Imported.

    Comments about Bibler Eldorado Tent - Standard:

    The Eldo is a larger, but truly a more reasonable version of the I-Tent. I have used this tent extensively in NH and Colorado winters with temps down to -30 and sustained winds in excess of 60 mph. It is like sleeping in a vault. Once zipped up (and even vented) there is not a more secure feeling tent, especially when compared to a double wall. The tent is relatively easy to setup and super light. I have found that there is some condensation build up inside after a long night. However, once firing up the hanging stove the condensation is pushed out and the tent is completely dry.

    In all, I have owned this tent for 8 years now, and have used it quite a bit with little wear actually shown. Without question I would buy it again if I needed another two person set up.

    Don't hesitate to purchase this one. You will be satisfied.

    Comments about Bibler Eldorado Tent - Standard:

    This tent is extremely difficult to set up the first two or three times you use it, but once you get the hang of putting the poles in place, it's no worse than most other tents.

    It is really a one-season tent, for cold and wet weather. Otherwise, it's not very flexible for venting and moving air.

    However, now that I have gotten out my gripes-- I have to say-- it is an extremely well-built and cozy tent. I used it in cold, cold, negative temps, and it was really useful. On our last trip, my campmates complained about not being able to sleep so well, because the wind was coming into their "4-season" tents, but I was warm and sheltered, and the snow stayed off of and out of the tent.

    Practice setting it up before you go out, because you don't want to be struggling to set up your tent when it's unreasonably cold. Once you're set up, enjoy the view.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Bibler Eldorado Tent - Standard:

    This tent is the one you wanna ride the storm out in. The Eldo will take the wind, rain, and dumping snow. It fits 6' + climbers with ease, and is tall enough to be comfortable while sitting upright. Set up is tricky the first time as the poles are internal, but ad to the structural integrity of the tent. Buy the optional vestibule and gear loft for added gear storage. The yellow makes for a cheery interior when pinned down by storms.
