Mountain Hardwear EV 3 Tent

Designed to Ed Viesturs' specifications for a compact - light - strong - two-person tent - the EV3 Tent by Mountain Hardwear is purposefully designed for the rigors of high altitude expeditions. EV3’s trim design fits on ledges - and its clip set-up aids high-wind pitches. VX02 fabric - a lightweight - strong - non-stretch laminate - stabilizes and strengthens when pitched - and Atlas Scandium XL poles add sturdiness while shaving weight. Interior zip and built in ventilation help frost management while integrated vestibule provides protection from the elements.

This single-wall expedition tent is built to handle extended use in the harshest environments. It shrugs off heavy winds and snow loads. With the creation of the EV 3, Mountain Hardwear has built a super-strong tent that is not only waterproof and breathable, but fire-retardant as well. For strength, a system of non-stretch panels map the tent's main tension lines along the poles and down the side panels to the main guy points. These panels act as a fabric truss structure that resists deformation by holding the poles in a stable arch. Compared to traditional tent fabrics that stretch and allow poles to bend, this truss structure reinforces the poles with the tent body structure. Conduit™ FR body is made from a strong polyurethane-coated polyester; ripstop nylon floor is lightweight, with reduced porosity. All seams are welded and waterproof, so there is no need for seam sealing. Atlas Scandium XL™ poles are very light, super-strong and completely field serviceable without tools. Additionally, these tough XL poles come with subzero Shok™ cord and heat-treated aluminum threaded pole tips. Trim floor design fits well on narrow ledges and snow platforms. Integrated vestibule with floor also has a convenient zippered porthole for grabbing snow and getting rid of dirt. Welded waterproof vents on the tent body and vestibule can opened for fresh air or shuttered closed during storms. Water-resistant, inverted, double rainfly zippers permit easy ventilation. Large, non-yellowing, non-clouding, clear SVX film windows add light and views. Gated Power Clips at all pole intersections increase structural strength. Large stake-out loops accept both skis and snow pickets. Bar-tacked stress points add strength and durability; bias-bound zippers allow ease of use and extended zipper life. Four large welded mesh storage pockets help keep things organized inside.
