Description

The Quadratic™ Snow Outer is a waterproof outer tent. Suitable for any season, vestibule flaps and sealable all-weather vents make it particularly suitable for winter and expedition use.

Three poles (available separately) are needed to pitch the tent. One or two optional side poles can be added to make the middle of the tent free standing, and to provide superb resistance to side winds. Adding a top pole further stiffens the tent, and in heavy snows limits snow buildup and enhances ventilation.

The Quadratic™ Snow Outer can be pitched by itself, or with a Groundfloor™ or Inner Tent. The Quadratic™ system allows either the inner or outer tent to be pitched first, or both to be pitched together in one quick operation.

The two large vestibules create plenty of space for gear storage and entry and exit. Snow flaps around the vestibules allow the ends of the tent to be firmly anchored and sealed in snow. The doors open from the top or bottom, which allows easy access even if the end of the vestibule is buried in snow.

The top of each door forms a vent which can catch even gentle breezes, or can be sealed shut. Four all-weather vents are designed to be left open in almost any weather, but even these can be sealed shut in extreme conditions, to keep out spindrift.
