Tarptent Stratospire 2 With Solid Inner Tent

The StratoSpire 2 is the two person version of the StratoSpire 1. 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.

Over the last year or so, if there is one tent I have recommended above all others, it has been the Tarptent Stratospire 1 and 2. It’s one of those tents that works for anybody regardless of size of user and need. WIth the two massive vestibules and entry ways, easily removable inner tent, and one of the most storm worthy designs available. For most people who use trekking poles, the Tarptent stratospire is probably the perfect solo and two man tent. At around 1,3 kilos it’s lighter than most solo tents, yet twice as large and easily just as stable in bad weather, if not more so.

The Tarptent Stratospire 2 uses two trekking poles for setup, the inner tent is pitched with the outer – so you don’t have to put them up separately in rain and so on. The inner tent can easily be taken out and the outer fly used by itself to create a massive solo or three man floorless shelter. The 30 denier silnylon means that the tents has excellent durability and will be able to withstand any amounts of rain you find yourself in.

Something to think about when using the Tarptent Stratospire is that it does use two trekking poles for set-up, you can of course buy two tent poles instead. Also, the floor on a Tarptent is also Sil-nylon. So you still need to choose a proper campsite and not pitch the tent on extremely wet ground as water can seep through the bottom if your not careful. It’s normally not a problem, but if your used to the really thick polyurethane plastic floors, than it’s important to keep that in mind.
