Sea to Summit Telos TR2
WAS $749/NOW $560
Sea to Summit's award-winning freestanding ultralight backpacking tent. It has lots of vertical space due to the Tension Ridge pole architecture. Apex vents are positioned at the highest point of the tent and the fly can be rolled back on both sides to see the night sky, then deployed quickly from inside the tent.
The Telos TR2 is made for longevity and superior waterproof performance by using DAC poles, YKK zippers, 7-series aluminum hardware, and seam-taped coated rainfly. It comes in 3 stuff sacks so you can split the load. Two of the sacks transform into gear storage pockets while the pole stuff sack (with a translucent diffuser) becomes a Lightbar - add a headlamp for soft illumination throughout the tent.
You can set the tent up in a variety of ways. The rainfly can be set up first for a dry setup and takedown in the rain. Hangout mode requires 2 trekking poles or the Hangout Mode Pole Set (sold separately).
Rated 3-season. Footprint sold separately.
