Go Lite Eisenhower Tunnel Tent

Description: Eisenhower Tunnel Tent

Use: 3-season backpacking, thru-hiking

The versatility of the Eisenhower Tunnel is virtually unmatched in lightweight 3-season, 2 person shelters! Designed with optimal ventilation in mind, the Ike utilizes catenary-cut retractable side awnings which can be staked out or rolled up based on the weather. Full length no-see-um mesh intakes allow for increased airflow while keeping the bugs out. The roomy vestibule has a reverse J two-way zipper with a draft flap, plus twin exhaust vents to help keep condensation levels down. Our ultra-lite, waterpoof, super strong SilLite™ fabric is used in the main body of the shelter, with a polyurethane-coated nylon bathtub-style floor. Comes with two Easton® pre-bent 7078HS poles, 9 Y-stakes, a SilLiteHG™ stake sack as well as a SilLiteHG™ stow sack.

SILLITE

• Ultralite waterproof fabric
• Awesome strength to weight ratio and tear strength compared to conventional tent fabrics and PU-coated fabrics.
• It weighs just 1.76 oz/sq. yd (60 g/sq. m) and has a tear strength of 9.5 lbs (4.3 kg).
• Silicone-elastomere fabrics allow their fibers to stretch without separating or breaking, and this makes them stronger than conventional PU-coated (or PU/siliconized) fabrics for a far lower weight
• Silicone impregnation means that the silicone completely permeates the fibers and also makes the fabric hydrophobic, so it doesn’t soak up water. It is also less likely to wear away or degrade in UV light than PU.
