Features / Performance Attributes
- Kerlon 1800 outer tent fabric and three 10 mm poles in true dome configuration make for an exceptionally stable tent with outstanding snow-load handling capability.
- The Staika’s dome design is completely free standing, and the vestibules are included in the self-supporting structure. Its innovative short pole sleeve and clip system construction, same length poles, and linked inner and outer tents make for simple and quick set up. Its design allows for a very compact footprint without sacrificing interior roominess.
- Pitching requires no pegs, but 16 peg points provide options for increasing stability: six loops at each pole end, one point on each of the four non-door outer tent panels, and six double guy lines with double line runners, one along each pole line.
- Both the floor space and head room are quite spacious thanks to the three pole structure and dome design.
- Two entrances and two vestibules ensure that one door can always be situated out of the wind, and provide flexible entry/exit and storage options.
- The two vestibules are parallel to the sleeping area, so access to gear stored there is very convenient – you can even get at it while lying in your sleeping bag!
- The Staika’s ventilation system functions regardless of weather conditions due to its integrated components:
- Highly breathable yet water repellent inner tent fabric
- One entire side of each inner tent door is a no-see-um mesh panel covered with an equal sized, zipper-adjustable fabric panel.
- The zipper-adjustable top portion of the outer tents’ doors are highly air permeable yet water resistant, snow-proof fabric panels, so air flows freely, even when the panels are zipped closed.
- An additional short zipper and extra sliders on the inner tent door allow the top of the door to be opened completely.
- A separate vent cover ensures that the weather stays on the outside, even if the vents are fully open.
