[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] PERFECT for Bikepacking. Imho I recommend. 110% . Buy it for any camping though. A+
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my package the day I left for my bike packing trip. I had to mount the bags onto the forks immediately when I met up with my group; easy process. I couldn't get a chance to assemble my tent until we arrived at our campsite past midnight. Although I was the last one is my group to finish, I was able to assemble on the first try in very dark conditions. Since returning home, the tent has been a fixture in my living room as my daughter absolutely enjoys hanging out and sleeping inside. Great materials. Great build quality. And most importantly, great customer service. Awesome product from an awesome company. Thank you.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tent. Easy to setup and take down. Plenty of space as a 6’2” guy. Only problems I have is: 1. On of the sections of pole got bent/curved after the first use so I’m scared that that one piece will break eventually. 2. The storage sacks they come with are small and difficult to repack, especially the one with the poles. I ended up just using their 8l stuff sacks that I had so it’s easier and not having to waste time getting it stuffed in. Overall I like the tent.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m taking the Telos 2 on a 1,000 mile bike packing trip in July. To prepare, I’ve been sleeping in this tent, and it’s been great. It is really easy to set up and take down. I also purchased the ground cloth (sold separately) from Sea to Summit and it’s light and works great. I love that this tent packs down into two equally sized/weighted bags. I can strap these onto the front fork of my bike. The bags that they come with are super durable. I’m completely satisfied and look forward to using this on my upcoming trip. I also love my Sea to Summit sleeping pad and pillow!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compact and fits so neatly on the bike. Will definitely be my primary tent for any solo adventure
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been dreaming of purchasing this tent since it launched and finally pulled the trigger. It's even better than I imagined and is so thoughtfully designed. It fits on my tiny bike perfectly, is easy to set up, the construction is solid and I love the details like the small bag that holds some of the tent pieces is designed with reflective white fabric that when you place your headlamp inside, turns into a soft box/light bar. So Smart!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this tent. I have purchased for a 2 month bikepacking trip in the US. Spacious inside for 2 people, love having 2 doors, super lightweight and the design details are unmatched by any brand I have seen - from the stake design to the bag attachment system to the bike, this is the perfect bikepacking tent.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely loved this. It set up very easily and fit very nicely on my bike. I can’t wait to use it more
Great tent if you're short. Not so much for anyone 6 ft or taller
