Letting you switch between modes—Party, Breeze-Way and Storm—to adapt to changing conditions, the Exped Orion III tent is a proven all-weather, all-season 3-person shelter.
Features
In Party Mode™, temporarily disconnect and push the tent aside beneath the fly, so you can invite the neighbors for a tea party, regardless of the weather
In Breeze-Way Mode™, open both doors for cooling, flow-through ventilation in warm weather
In Storm Mode™, close both doors and guyout or stake up to 21 anchor points for maximum strength and stability against wind
3 poles support the tent: 2 identical tunnel poles define the length of the sleeping area and a ridge pole crosses at right angles, creating 2 truly freestanding vestibules
The ridge/tunnel pole architecture combines a tunnel tent's strength and maximum usable space with a dome tent's freestanding capability
Tent can remain attached to fly when stowed, shortening teardown time; fly can be set up on its own or combined with a footprint (not included) for lightweight trips
Guyline anchor points are provided along each pole sleeve to increase wind- and snow-loading stability
Tent is suspended from the fly with fly-mounted rings and shockcorded toggles for rapid removal of the tent when in Party mode; fly is separated into 6 panels
An adjustable tension cord connects the end of each vestibule pole to a corner pole, maintaining structural tension when the vestibule doors are open
Closed-end pole sleeves allow rapid pole-threading and one-person setup, without the need to move from one side of the tent to the other
2 U-shaped, horizontally oriented doors allow smooth, one-handed operation; doors can be secured to the side and out of the way when fully opened
Each of the 2 vestibules is equipped with an eyelid over the door, which can be closed in severe conditions or held open for covered venting, even in the rain
Each door is equipped with a mosquito netting window, which is backed up by a solid fabric panel to retain heat in cold conditions and keep snow out
Steep tent walls maximize headroom and volume; rectangular floor plan fits 2 sleeping mats and ensures efficient use of space
Multiple interior loops are provided for adding overhead clotheslines
4 pockets, 2 at each end of the tent, provide storage for small items
Floor is 70-denier polyurethane-coated nylon taffeta and is factory seam-taped, with a 10,000mm water column rating for waterproofing
18 ultralight V-peg aluminum stakes are included for securing guylines and pole-end stakeout loops
Glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls on inner tent and vestibule doors light up long into the night, allowing zippers to be quickly located in the dark
Tent repair kit included
