First Ultralight Tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was between the Telos and the Dan Durtson X-Dome 2! What made me lean towards this Telos was the Sunshade configuration and the better price when these go on sale. The packing design is great and splits for easier backpacking storage. The only concern is the non closable vent in the outer. I have not tested it in severe rain so I can not say if the zipper just underneath the vent is water proof enough. Being traumatized from Texas flood rains, I have a tarp set up to cover the tent if need be. The Telos has plenty of space to keep extra bags at the foot even with two people. I was able to attach a separate Aldi tent organizer to the inside where you would put the Sea to Summit organizer for shoes and extra blanket. When I set up the tent for the first time I admittedly set the pole system backwards and it still worked! Once setting it up correctly out in the wilderness it was even easier. The guy-lines are super easy to tighten and the stakes are plenty strong. If you are going into extreme winds you will have to get some more stakes and additional line. Super roomy and additional pockets for two people. Some people complained about the zips being rainbow zips and I had no issue using them one handed. The tub is considerably high which is comforting. The only regret I have was not getting the footprint to better utilize the vestibule space. Pretty happy and will be taking it out again in the cooler months to come.

I Upgraded To This 3

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to this 3 person tent from my very old REI 2 person Camp Dome which is still in great shape but now I'm married and my husband complains he wants more room. I also wanted something lighter since we've begun backpacking. This Telos met both criteria of lighter and more interior space plus vestibule space. Setup is quick and easy. One morning after a rainy night I did have a bit of leak that landed inside on the floor. I'm not sure if I needed to guy it out better, or if the amount of rain exceeded the hydrostatic head rating. I read somewhere it was seam-sealed at factory so I did not do that step. One of the reasons I chose this tent was the straighter sides than a typical dome; this makes the poles a little funky to pack up and take some getting used to, but it works out just fine with a bit more attention. Overall, really liking this tent!

Lightweight Tent With A Lot Of Luxury Functionality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a light weight tent design with good ventilation for humid weather and avoid condensation. But the top ventilation can still allow some water in during heavy rains. Also the water does not bead up on the rain fly, so I have to hang it around to dry up.

Bwca Tested

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used my Telos tent for a 4 night stay in the Boundary Waters Wilderness area of northern Minnesota. The Telos performed great and I’m really glad I made the decision to acquire it. Pitching the tent was very easy and quick (I practiced a few times at home). The color coding makes the process very intuitive and simple. I utilized a Bigfoot XL ground cloth which integrates easily and effectively. The Telos is lighter and roomier than the previous tents I’ve taken on this trip. My son accompanied me and at nearly 6’7”, the young giant still had plenty of headroom to sit up and space to move around when needed. I really appreciated the design of the rainfly and the various position it can be deployed. For the most part we kept the sides rolled up to maximize airflow and ventilation. But when weather threatened our area it was quick and easy to fully deploy the fly in a matter of minutes. I’d highly recommend this tent to anyone looking for a lightweight shelter for hiking or canoeing into your camping spot.

Ease To Put Up And

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ease to put up and good quality light weight with lots of head space and floor space would recommend for two people with large air pads
