Currently only mesh inner version is available

The patented 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.

Are the Tarptent tents seam sealed?

The Tarptent tents do not arrive seam sealed. Seam sealant will have to be purchased separately. We recommend the Gear Aid Seam Grip  SIL as it adheres to silicone coated fabrics better (Which the Tarptents use)

FAQ's:

Do I need trekking poles for general use?
This shelter is designed to be used with trekking poles, but an alternate pole set is also an option for non-trekking pole users. It is also possible to suspend the structure from trees or other overhead supports.

Can I use this for winter?
The structure will withstand light to moderate snow loading. The optional partial solid interior is recommended for cold winds or blowing snow.

Can this shelter really fit three people?
Yes. The interior will widen to just fit three standard width sleeping pads (72 in x 20 in / 183 cm x 51 cm). The fly-only set up will easily sleep three.

Are there any additional pullout points for extra staking?

The StratoSpire 2 has attachments for (and ships with) apex guylines to strengthen the ridgeline. It also has fly-top pull-outs which can be guyed out to assist in high winds and for snow loads.

Is this shelter suitable for tall folks?

We’ve found that the maximum comfortable height in the StratoSpire 2 is 6’4″ / 1.93 m.
