Tarptents StratoSpire 2 stands out for its spacious and thoughtfully built design. For trekking pole users, this shelter is a gem: save weight and use your trekking poles for a strong, wind and snow stable setup. The StratoSpire’s unique, patented design gives an unprecedented amount of living and vestibule space, perfect for extensive gear and bike storage. With a clever asymmetrical design and trekking poles to support dual entry, the tent can easily accommodate two adults and gear without feeling cramped and you can chose between a Mesh or Solid Inner. The solid interior (which has 2/3 solid, 1/3 mesh walls and a solid roof) blocks horizontally blowing wind, sand, snow, and rain
Fly fabric is now 20D silicone coated, both sides, polyester (“silpoly”), pressure rated to over 5,000 mm, for sag-free performance.
Seams aren’t sealed. We recommend to use Gear Aid Seam Grip SIL seam sealer to achieve complete waterproofness or Choose Seam Sealed in options if you wish to use our Seam Sealing Service.
You will need: 2 x trekking pole 125-130cm (49-51in) or Carbon PolyPole V2 poles.
