Features

  • Freestanding design is ideal for ideal for those traversing a wide variety of terrain
  • Nanovent® is a Samaya proprietary waterproof/breathable fabric specifically created for use in single-walled tents
  • The fabric is optimized for the ideal balance between rainproof and breathable to help manage the accumulated humidity inside the tent
  • 7-denier Nanovent® walls are waterproof to 10,000 mm
  • 34 g/m² Dyneema® Composite Fabric (DCF) floor is further enhanced to 20,000 mm of water column pressure per Hydrostatic Head tests
  • Humidity from respiration inside the tent is managed by the Nanovent® 40,000 g/m²/24 hr. of breathability
  • Single-walled tents are more wind-resistant due to their integration of the walls and structure into a single element
  • This freestanding tent resists wind up to 62 mph in wind tunnel tests
  • Ultralight 18 g/m² Dyneema® Composite Fabric (DCF) is used on both vestibules to reduce volume and weight
  • Vestibules have dual anchor points: 1 higher for better airflow and 1 lower to help keep splashing rain from bouncing up under the sides
  • Vestibules permit easy access from both sides and add 8.9 sq. ft. to each side for gear, footwear, etc.
  • Freestanding design uses the lightest 7.8 mm diameter Samaya Carbon X poles; poles are red, making them easier to see on the ground when packing the tent
  • The color differentiation between the poles in red and the junctions in black indicates when the joints are not fully seated during construction
  • Together the poles weigh a mere 7.8 oz. and pack down to 12.2 in. long
  • Secure the tent (especially in windy conditions) with 10 DAC aluminum J.Stakes(F); together they weigh a scant 2.5 oz.
  • 2-person format is optimized for minimum weight and carry volume at an internal space of 26 sq. ft.
  • Interior space is optimized for 2 backpackers in an ultralight style: The tent is 47.2 in. wide at the head and 39.3 in. wide at the feet, and the length is 86.6 in.
  • The arch of the dual poles has a peak interior height of 43.3 in.
  • Dual doors each have 2 sliders that meet in the corners to make for quick and easy ingress and egress
  • Bugproof mesh fabric on both doors enhances airflow
  • Mesh sits above a 10-denier, water-repellent fabric, which blocks splashing rain drops from bouncing under the vestibule and onto the floor
  • Store items you want easy access to in the wall mesh pocket; dry items in the upper mesh loft
  • Integrated pole sleeves have reflective guylines with Dyneema® cores; they encapsulate the poles for better stability and retention in high winds
  • Quick to pitch via the continuous external pole sleeves; sleeves are closed on one end so that the poles are automatically set into their termination pockets
  • Adjustable pole tensioners enable perfect tension adjustment in all conditions, including wet and cold
  • Split the tent components up among your group to keep your pack light; tent-body weight to pole-and-stake weight ratio is 72% : 28%
  • Tent body compresses down to only 228.3 cu. in. stuffed into the slick Dyneema® Composite Fabric (DCF) roll-top stuff sack and weighs only 1 lb. 11.3 oz. (body and stuff sack)
  • Poles and stakes have their own stuff sacks and together weigh only 10.7 oz. (poles, stakes and stuff sacks)
  • Optional INSTANT2 footprint (not included) adds another 5.5 oz. when required

Ultralight dependability

2 days ago

The freestanding ultralight Taj Mahal! Can't get enough of this tent, after using it for a summer of constant use along the Haute Route and a bikepacking tour through Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Seriously put it through its paces. From all-night downpours to exposed wind-blasted nights in open deserts, this thing held its own. Love the overall construction, internal space, thoughtful feature set, and fabric durability. Would happily recommend it for all sorts of ultralight missions.

So soo light!

6 days ago

Just so outrageously light. This is a perfect summer adventure tent. It's burly enough to handle some weather but light enough for fast packing and light hiking trips. It's definitely tight for two full sized dudes but that's what you sign up for in this category and to be fair, there was definitely enough room for both of us. We didn't have to overlap pads or anything. The vestibule wings on the fly make it easy to keep gear dry and out of the main tent. Zippers and convenient magnets allow you to create openings and airflow when the weather is good.
