Trying out the Sea to Summit Telos TR2 bikepacking tent was the perfect excuse to load up the bike and head into Namadgi National Park in the south of Canberra. Bumpy trails, open plains, and forecast wind and rain made for the perfect testing ground.  The Telos TR2’s bikepacking specific design is especially noticeable in the two storage bags that come with the tent. These bags are durable and waterproof eVent stuff sacks, with plenty of webbing hoops on the outside for strapping to your bike. The bags (and tent) come with four of Sea to Summit’s Stretch-Loc straps for attaching to your bike. I strapped the bags to my bike’s forks where they were stable and out of the way.  I like that the tent’s packaging demonstrates the other various ways you can attach the Telos TR2 to your ride, such as combining the bags to be stored on your handlebars or attaching them to a rear rack. The pole bag is also able to be strapped to the bike separately, as required. The main difference with the poles of the Telos TR2 is that each pole length has been shortened to create a smaller pole package, ideal for storing between handlebars and elsewhere on your bike where space is tight.The Telos TR2 uses the same Tension Ridge setup as the Alto to raise the sides of the tent, creating vertical walls and increasing the liveable space inside. As someone who likes to spend time reading when I’m camping, it was great to be able to sit up comfortably inside, away from the wind. The large doors and no-see-um mesh meant I had a great view out of the tent and added to the greater feeling of space inside.  Like the Alto, the Telos TR2 bikepacking tent can be set up using just the fly, which is ideal for lighter bikepacking adventures, or when pitching up in wet conditions. I was lucky to wake up to a dry morning, but if it’d been raining I could’ve packed away all of my sleeping gear and the inner fly while comfortably sheltered, before packing away the outer fly.
