Telos Bikepacking TR2 - Two Person Freestanding Tent

$699.00 $524.00

Description

At its heart, the Telos Bikepack remains the same great tent on which Backpacker Magazine bestowed their Editor’s Choice Award. Space, Ventilation and Versatility now ready for wherever your bike adventures take you.

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 alloy pole feet and C-clip 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 PU-coated rainfly.
Hangout Mode converts rainfly into semi-open shelter. Requires a pair of trekking poles or Hangout Mode Pole Set.
Two doors on either side of the tent.
Bike-specific storage system: tent packs into two 420D waterproof and durable Evac Dry Sacks with StretchLoc straps for reliable mounting.
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 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.

Frequently Asked questions

Why is the Telos heavier than other ultralight tents?

The Telos tent is made with durable materials, offers more internal space, and has better ventilation than competing tents. For weight-conscious hikers, the Alto shaves off a few ounces for easy carry.

What are the differences between regular and plus models?

The Telos Plus tent has a nylon inside fabric with unzippable vents rather than mesh to keep cold air from getting into the inner tent. The Plus model also features a more waterproof floor (4000mm vs 2500mm).

Is a footprint necessary with this tent?

The Telos has a relatively waterproof (2500mm) floor, so can be used in pretty wet (but not downright boggy) conditions without a footprint. However, adding a footprint does help protect the floor from rips and tears.
