Our patent-pending Tension Ridge Architecture delivers unmatched useable room, a higher ceiling, oversized doors, two large vestibules for storing gear and an adjustable ventilation system. Designed for ultimate versatility, the Telos tent can be pitched in a multitude of ways, including our Hangout Mode, which converts the tent into a semi-open shelter. The lightweight Telos tent is also packed full of intuitive features like our FairShare Storage System, which is comprised of dual-use storage bags that can be clipped into your tent to create extra storage and our illuminating Lightbar. With a mesh inner and DAC’s world-class Featherlite NSL and PRESSFIT pole sections, the Telos tent is the ultimate in ultra-lightweight liveability.

FAQ's

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.

How is a PeU coating different from a PU coating?
PeU coatings are ether-based. They are much less susceptible to hydrolysis (which is when a urethane coating absorbs moisture and becomes soft or 'sticky', often in storage), so they're better for rainflys and tent floors.

Will three 79\" x 25\" sleeping pads fit inside the tent?
No, the TR3 tent was primarily designed for ultralight backpackers using smaller, tapered sleeping pads.
