Sea to Summit

Sea to Summit tents use 15D Sil-PeU coated nylon ripstop for flysheets, providing excellent hydrolytic stability and waterproof performance, along with 20D ripstop nylon for floors ensuring durability and water resistance.

Fly fabrics typically have a hydrostatic head of around 1200mm, while floor fabrics range from 2500mm to 4000mm, offering strong waterproof protection for 3+ season use.

Sea to Summit uses DAC Featherlite aluminium poles known for high strength-to-weight ratios, optimising durability while keeping tents lightweight.

Many models, like the Telos and Alto, feature semi-freestanding or fully freestanding designs, making setup easier and providing good interior space.

Advanced venting systems include Apex Vents at the highest points to expel warm moist air and Baseline Vents controlled from inside to adjust airflow while maintaining rain protection.

Footprints are often optional but recommended to extend floor life; they use durable materials with waterproof coatings to protect against abrasion and moisture.​

This design improves the space-to-weight ratio by angling poles to create more usable interior volume, higher doors, and better vestibule space compared to traditional tents.

Their tents are generally PFC-free with DWR treatments using safer chemistry, and rainflies are flame retardant-free to minimise environmental impact.

Most tents are rated for 3+ season use, making them suitable for spring, summer, autumn, and mild winter conditions.

Yes, designed with ultralight backpacking in mind, some tents weigh as little as 1.5 to 2 kg with compact packed dimensions ideal for long-distance hiking.
