Polaris

2 person, mountaineering tent

Designed with alpinism in mind, this lightweight single-wall has everything you need for a multi-day summit push. The unconventional floor plan provides more interior space for long nights on the route. A protective vestibule has enough room for two mid-sized packs. You can add the extra pole to the main body of the tent for even greater wind-resistance.
