Coleman Exponent Helios X2 Tent
The prototype of this 4-season tent was designed by professional mountaineers and tested on some of the highest way stations of Mt. Everest. The Helios X2 tent is, as a result, engineered specifically to withstand the combative conditions that exist at high altitudes. The Helios X2 tent features a more robust pole structure built to hold heavier snow loads, a waterproof silicone coating that won't crack in freezing temperatures, and all of the interior mesh can be zipped close to help heat retention. All of this, plus it has an easy pole/clip structure to make setup quick and easy.Developed to withstand high-altitude environments, the Helios X2 is a two-person modified dome tent. It has a footprint of 87 by 52 inches, with two large D-shaped doors and two vestibules that are 8 square feet each. Center height is 41 inches. The Helios tent features four Yunan Atlas Scandium poles; used in high-performance sporting goods as well as military and space applications, the scandium alloy is well-suited to tent poles that must stand up to demanding conditions. A shock-corded floating connector, tapered on each end, joins identical poles, eliminating the need for a fixed insert in either pole. This innovative design allows the poles to flex in an even arc with better distribution of stress, making them stronger and less prone to failure. Structural features include a combination of pole sleeves and quick-clips for quicker setup without compromising strength. Extensive pole coverage with multiple guy-out points provides bombproof strength to handle snow loads and high-altitude winds. The 70-denier nylon fly sports silicone and polyurethane coatings to increase resistance to wind and weather. Inside pockets provide a handy place to store gear.Features:Utilize state of the art materials70D silicone nylon flyAir Hercules FC polesRobust four pole architectureModified dome structureVestibule pole(s) and numerous equalized guy-out linesPerfect for basecamp at higher elevationsCan withstand the harshest alpine environmentsFour season, specialized mountaineering tentTwo large "D" doors for convenient access in front or back of tenttwo large vestibules for ample gear storage spaceExtensive pole coverage with multiple guy-out points for "bomber" strengthCombination pole sleeve, clip design for quicker set up without compromising strengthZipper vents in ceiling for increased ventilation, minimizes condensationStake loops sized to fit back country skis for anchorsSpecifications:Pack Weight: 7 pounds, 10 ouncesTrail Weight: 6 pounds, 11 ouncesFootprint: 87 by 52 inchesPeak Height: 41 inchesFloor Area: 31 square feetFlyshee: Nylon ripstop, 70D 190T, 5000 mm silicon/PU WR/FRInner Tent: 190T nylon ripstop, 75D WR/FRMesh: No-see-um mesh 40D FRFloor: 190T nylon taffeta 70D WR/FR, PU 5000 mmPoles: Air Hercules FCAbout ColemanThe Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957--the birth of the modern cooler--and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.
