The t2 arctic is a spacious two-person, three-pole tunnel tent with an extended vestibule. The three-pole construction maximises stability and resistance to side winds and achieves an inner/flysheet separation that makes the t2 arctic not only our strongest but also our most weatherproof tunnel tent as well. The inner is roomy enough for three, but usually it is more comfortable for two, particularly in extended camping stays or in winter conditions (the red flysheet version includes snow flaps). This is an extremely durable tent, and a very reliable shelter for base camps in wilderness and remote areas. We classify the t2 arctic as a five-season tent.
