Alpine Shelter & Sleep 4-season

Summit Spire 2P Expedition Tent

CRN-TNT-001 · In stock $799
Sizes 2-person

Winter nights on Mount Rainier's Ingraham Glacier or a high camp below Denali's West Buttress demand gear that inspires absolute confidence. The Cairn Alpine Summit Spire 2P is that unwavering fortress, engineered with a robust 5-pole geodesic dome design that shrugs off extreme wind and snow loads. Its double-wall construction and fully taped seams ensure relentless protection.

The 30D ripstop Cordura nylon fly, boasting a 3000mm PU/Silicone coating, pairs with a formidable 40D ripstop nylon floor (10,000mm PU coating) to seal out the harshest elements. Five DAC Featherlite NSL 9.6mm poles provide the rigid skeleton. Inside, 30.5 sq ft of floor area and a 44-inch peak height offer surprising livability for two, complemented by twin 11.5 sq ft vestibules for essential gear storage and easy access through two doors. At a minimum trail weight of 3970g, this 4-season shelter, rendered in Hi-Vis Orange for critical visibility, is built to perform when stakes are highest.
