REI Chrysalis UL Tent

Home Camping & Hiking: Backpacking -- Ultralight Tents, Shelters and Bivys: Solo Tents

« Item   Item » REI Chrysalis UL Tent All in one hub-pole system is easy to use; DAC SL Featherlite® poles save weight. Attention to detail shows in the reflective guy points and zipper pulls, and adjustable REI Cleat Lock tie-downs on vestibules. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Color-coded rainfly corners allow easy orientation of rainfly on tent for fast, easy setup. Comes with guylines and tighteners, stakes, pole repair tube, pole and stake bags, and tapered, easy-to-stuff compression stuff sack. Leak-proof rainfly construction ensures that water won't sneak through susceptible areas such as guyout points and zippers. Lightweight nylon ripstop rainfly offers durability and weight savings; silicone treatment gives long-lasting weatherproofness. Main zipper flap is stiffened with polyurethane which makes it more leak-proof and prevents snagging. No-see-um mesh panels and no-see-um mesh door allow cross-ventilation, preventing condensation. Single door has a vestibule that doesn't skimp on space for gear storage. Solo backpacking no longer means you need to suffer carrying a lot of extra weight or being cooped up in a small bivy sack. Strategically placed vestibule roof vent allows excellent airflow to prevent condensation; can be accessed while sitting inside the tent. The ultralight, freestanding REI® Chrysalis uses ultra-lightweight, silicone-coated nylon fabrics and lightweight aluminum poles. More info + price
