Sea to Summit:
The Telos™ two-person freestanding tent will radically change your perception of what an ultralight backpacking tent can be. Sea to Summit’s engineers made it their mission to design a tent that is easy to set up and filled with clever functional features. Mission accomplished. However – there are three additional reasons why leading gear testers have picked the Telos as the new gold standard for tents: space, ventilation and versatility. More space – Tension Ridge™ creates best-in-class interior space & higher doors for unmatched livability. Superior Ventilation – The Apex Vent™ expels warm air & Baseline Vents allow you to control airflow to prevent condensation. Unmatched versatility – Hangout Mode converts the rainfly into a spacious semi-open shelter or the rainfly can be rolled back for stargazing. Design Details – Lightbar™, FairShare Storage System & Quick Connect Foot System make tent life easier.
