After doing my initial 2-person 3-season category review of 9 tents I took my number one choice the Sea To Summit Telos TR2 on a sheep hunt. Unfortunately, I was met with unexpected and considerable water in the tent. Well, it has taken 6 months and a new tent being shipped out but after extensive testing, I can finally share my findings.

@AH2011able

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much for your effort!

Love that you called the timeout until further review. Seeing the results was pretty amazing. I think you do a great job of finding pros and cons with the mass diversity in the outdoor world. 💪

Another kick ass review man, looks like a sweet tent, makes sense on possible water failure

@jameshurd4815 Год назад

Love your logic. Would really like to see a video about your history and how you arrived at being such a bad-ass solo hunter. Love all your content.

Greetings from Australia (Where "Sea to Summit" HQ is located) Your review was awesome and honest. I have a range of gear from the Sea to Summit company and have always found that their products are high quality and well worth the somewhat premium price. That's because you do actually get a premium product.

I sent mine back. I backpack primarily in the PNW and every time it rained water would pool on the flat roof and then leak right in the middle. There is a flat on the TR2 design that really needs to be fixed. The Alto on the other is fantastic.

dude I'm giving you the thumbs up just based on the video backdrop. Thats dope.

Do we have an update on this tent Jay?

@johnkunis353 Год назад

I appreciate and respect your honest and humble analysis of the situation. It's easy to try to pin an issue on someone else instead of taking responsibility for a potential user error. Another great review.

Interesting. I’ve seen the Slingfin Portal 2 stand up to some really wild weather I’m wondering how it would have done instead. I don’t like the tapered floor plan of the Telos 2.

@user-qy3cn6pd3t

Really interesting as I have exactly the same issue with my Fjallraven Abisco View 2 tent. Just the 4th time using it and it failed in moderate rain. It was not a particularly humid day and I was not wet but it still came through and water pooled inside the tent. The specialist company that Fjallraven use to test their equipment could not reproduce the issue and Fjallraven even tested it themselves and could not reproduce the issue. Fjallraven reproofed the tent and sent it back to me but I’ve got little confidence in it sadly so always have to now take a tarp the same as your trip. Very strange and very frustrating!

looking to get a new tent for backpacking this year and this was one of my options, however, after seeing some mixed reviews, I needed something more in-depth, and honestly, you've convinced me to get this after seeing your initial evaluation, and now this. I also live in Vancouver and do backpacking primarily during the summer so the fabric specs really sold me on this! Thank you so much for the detailed review, I'm looking forward to the next one.

Good review. Do you have a link for that tarp set up you mentioned?

@MrSmileyFaceX77 Год назад

Have you considered the nylon 3+ Season version of this tent? Perhaps a side by side comparison would be worthwhile? I live on the west coast as well and would be curious to see a functional difference between both inner materials in our relative climate

@Con-wd5om

I live in the UK. No chance of me buying or using these lightweight / ultralight American tents. You just gotta look at the specs. Main thing for me as well as weight is the ability to handle bad weather.

@DrJimCares

A friend of mine recently had the same experience. What about setting up and spraying it with DWR? I’ve got a Telos 3p but haven’t had it in any rain, being in Southern California

@80Entreri

Could you commenton the size/usability of the vestibules? I have a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3, and I find that the vestibules are so narrow and tight that specially during rain they were very akward and not usable as a buffer between the inner tent for taking of wet jackets etc.

@bradl2636

Here in 2024 what is now your preferred TRUE 2P tent for wild weather 3S use..? I’m looking at the Telos and the Spinfin Portal 2.
