- BASECAMP SHELTER - Mountaineers, climbers and summit-seekers -this one’s for you! Our Guard Station mountaineering dome brings durable, basecamp-ready design and materials to high-altitude expeditions. House the entire crew, use as a medical tent, mess hall or command center. The dome shape minimizes snow and wind load; the DAC exoskeleton pole system maximizes architectural strength and creates extensive livable space.
- WE GOT YOU COVERED – Fly is Dominico undyed polyester rip-stop made with high tenacity yarns which increase tear strength by 20-25% over standard nylon or polyester rip-stop fabrics. Also provides high UV resistance and stability during temperature and moisture fluctuations, allowing for a solid and stable pitched tent. Fly material uses a unique pigment-dye coloring process that resists fading and increases UV resistance.

Windows can be opened for venting or closed up tight in extreme weather; also features two ceiling vents for air flow. The single-wall structure minimizes bad-weather impact during set up. An Accessory Body is available that creates a separate living and sleeping space that takes up half the area of the shelter - sold separately.
