Telos 3 Freestanding Ultralight Tent Sea to Summit

The Telos two and three-person freestanding tents 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 Backpacker Magazine bestowed their Editor’s Choice Award on the Telos line of tents: Space, Ventilation and Versatility.

Features

• Tension Ridge raises the tent’s shape upwards for more usable head-and-shoulder space and creates truly higher doors for easier entry and more vestibule storage.
• Color-coded ultra-strong lightweight DAC NSL two-hub poleset and quick connect pole feet make for easy setup.
• Made for longevity and superior waterproof performance by using premium materials including DAC poles, YKK zippers, 7-series aluminum hardware and seam-taped PeU-coated rainfly.
• Hangout Mode converts rainfly into semi-open shelter. Requires a pair of trekking poles or Hangout Mode Pole Set.
• FairShare storage system: tent packs into 3 stuff sacks to split the load. After set-up, stuff sacks transform into gear storage pockets.
• Lightbar: add a headlamp and secure the tent pole storage sack to the apex of the tent for soft even illumination.
• Rainfly can be set up first for a dry setup and takedown.
• Includes 8 Ground Control Light Tent Pegs 
• 4 detachable guylines which can be quickly attached to loops on each tent corner.
• To extend the life of your tent floor we recommend using a Sea to Summit footprint – sold separately.

Construction & Materials

• The 6” deep 20D nylon tub floor is rated to 2500mm hydrostatic head – light, waterproof and durable.
• Ultra-lightweight 15D polyester mesh inner for maximum ventilation. Its dark grey color provides excellent visibility.
• Silicone / Polyether Polyurethane-coated 15D nylon rainfly fabric provides long-lasting waterproof performance with a 1200mm hydrostatic head.
• The poles of the Tension Ridge are swept upwards – not angled downwards as is common in tents. This raises the tent’s shape, providing significantly more livable space.
• Apex Vent – at the highest point of the tent, this oversized vent efficiently expels warm air to prevent condensation and can be easily zipped shut from inside the tent.
• Baseline Vents allow you to control airflow and effectively manage humidity and condensation in wet conditions without letting the rain in.
• Quick Connect Foot is a beautifully designed, machined aluminum clip that attaches the pole and the inner foot with ease and is stronger than plastic buckles that can break.
