Dragontail

2 person, Mountaineering tent

Engineered with superior space and ventilation, the Dragontail single-wall expedition tent excels where other's fail. Its cavernous, hooped design is upgraded with a weather- shedding, peaked center and easy-pitching pole clips. Plus, an overhead vent-now with zippered closures-runs the length of the tent providing the ventilation that's critical to single-wall performance. Seam-taped silnylon packs small, providing the compact protection that alpine ascents, ski tours and minimalist, 4-season adventures demand.
