The Aries is a great backpacking tent to take when you need a tent that is lightweight, reliable, and will hold up in the elements. Its unique pole system allows for ample internal room with nearly straight walls on each side. There is also sufficient headroom, thanks to the spreader bar above the doors. Whether you need the 2-person or 3-person design, each comes with 2 doors so you're not crawling over anyone to get out. With the mostly mesh walls, air will easily flow in and out of the tent when the fly isn't required. When conditions are more extreme, the full coverage fly and two vestibules will keep you and your gear protected and dry.

The Meramac series tents are all free standing 2-pole designs with shock corded fiberglass with aluminum ferrules. The ferrules are the "connectors" that hold the poles together and we use aluminum, rather than steel, because aluminum can never rust. Our fiberglass poles are also normally one size larger than normal to offer you a sturdier, stronger tent. We use lightweight but strong polyester fabrics. The side walls are uncoated so the tent can "breathe" under the urethane coated fly. The fly uses a pole in the top, which gives you an awning over each door for excellent rain protection. Our fly is full length on the sides, not 3/4 length like some others, for better weather protection. We even have our factory seal the seams on the floor and fly for maximum water repellency. Entry and exit are enhanced with 2 doors, which means if you have to get out at night, you don't need to crawl over the others to get to the only door. The second door is also nice for extra ventilation in hot, muggy weather. Our door zippers are a #8, which is one size larger than most, for extra durability. Mesh storage pockets and a gear loft are included to help you keep your gear organized.
If you're interested in an even heavier oxford floor and larger #10 zippers, you can always check out ourMeramac Outfitter Seriesas another option.

Saving weight is one of the biggest factors for choosing gear when going backpacking. Because the Trail Tipi utilizes your trekking pole, it weighs less than 4 pounds. The Tipi design has three closable vents near the top and a 360°vent on the bottom, that can be adjusted to increase or decrease air flow by the two-point tensioning system for each stake. The Trail Tipi can be set up quickly by staking out the corners and adjusting a trekking pole inside, or alternatively you can hang the Tipi by the top loop to create more internal room. The 38 ft² tent and 12 ft² vestibule provide a spacious two-person tent with room for all of your gear or a backpacking companion. Trekking pole is not included.
FEATURES
Sleeps two people plus gear
Lightweight design utilizes your trekking pole for support
Works with any trekking pole 51" or longer (pole not included)
Top loop allows for hanging the tipi instead of using a trekking pole for support
Lower corner loops feature 2-point tensioning system with sliding aluminum ring

The Browning Hawthorne series tents are free-standing, two-pole designs using shock-corded fiberglass poles with aluminum ferrules. We use aluminum, rather than steel ferrules, because aluminum will never rust. Our fiberglass poles are a larger diameter than most standard poles and will provide you with a sturdier, stronger tent. We use lightweight but strong polyester fabrics. The side walls are uncoated, so the tent can "breathe" under the urethane coated fly. The fly uses a pole in the top, which means you will have an awning over each door for excellent rain protection. Our fly is full length for superior weather protection. Our factory seals the seams on the floor and fly for maximum water repellency. Two doors provide enhanced entry and exit, which means if you need to get out at night, you won't have to crawl over the others to get to the door. The second door also provides extra ventilation in hot, muggy weather. Our No. 8 door zippers offer extra durability and smooth operation. Mesh storage pockets and a gear loft are included to help keep your gear organized. The Hawthorne is conveniently available in both a 4-person and 6-person version.
