The Mountain Hardwear Spire 2.1 is a lightweight expedition tent with a high strength-to-weight ratio and a compact, 2-person design. Its rugged construction rebuffs gale-force winds and snow.
Spire 2.1 boasts Evolution Tension Arch technology, dual doors and vestibules and a trail weight of less than 5 lbs.
Evolution Tension Arch: panels of low-stretch fabric along the pole connection arcs reinforce the pole structure and stabilize the tent in 3 dimensions
Atlas Scandium XL™ poles are very light, super strong and completely field serviceable without tools
Additionally, these tough XL poles come with subzero Shok™ cord and heat-treated aluminum threaded pole tips
Trim floor design fits well on narrow ledges and snow platforms; clip set-up aids high-wind pitches
Internal guy system provides additional rigidity to the structure by creating resistance to the flexing and deformation of the frame
All exposed seams are welded or taped for waterproofness—there is no need for seam sealing!
Durable welded zipper flaps permit easy ventilation; watertight door zippers ensure a dry interior
Large stake out loops accept both skis and snow pickets
Bar-tacked stress points add strength and durability; bias-bound zippers allow ease of use and extended zipper life
Welded mesh storage pockets help keep things organized inside
Other technical features include reflective guyout loops, welded guy clip anchors and superlight 1/4 in. buckles and webbing
Reflective starter points make setup in the dark a breeze
Poles and footprint (sold separately) pitch without canopy for an ultralight shelter
