Early Winters Starship Tent

This is one of the coolest tents I have ever seen. Early to Mid 70's design. Single walled Gore-Tex 4 Season tent. I literally could almost stand on the top once it was set up without it breaking! Weighs just over 5 lbs and is a great green color. Likewise it has an epic name, the Starship. Early Winters Starship 2 Man Tent.



Kelty 4 Season Cyclone 2 Man Tent

This is a somewhat heavy 4 season tent. It is the Kelty Cyclone 2 Man tent. 4 Season 7.3 lbs



Solbei 1 Man Tent

This Solbei 1 Man tent/bivy is pretty light. Kind of interesting. I rarely see this company come into the store. 3.3 lbs.

Early Winters ltd. Winterlight 311

This is possibly the craziest tent I've seen in awhile. It's a 4 season Gore-Tex non-freestanding tent. The pole design is just nuts, really really lightweight fiberglass type poles with a metal section that attaches it in the middle. Wish I had photos of that but I don't. Anyway a 4-season non-freestanding doesn't seem smart to me, but whatever.



Seirra Designs 4-Season 2 man

I don't know the name on this one because it doesn't say, and it's older, but it's really cool.
This is a 2 man, 4 season tent from Sierra Designs, not much else I can say other than I love the purple poles.

The Sierra Designs Electron 1

One man, freestanding, super awesome tent. 
This guy weighed in at about 4.5 lbs, which is fairly heavy for a one man, but it's super cool. Lots of room, very well built. Full rain-fly with vestibule and lots of mesh to keep it cool in warm weather. This would be an ideal one man tent for someone not looking to go super-light.
