Telos 3 Freestanding Ultralight Tent

1 item left

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.
