The t3 arctic is the largest high-performance tent in the Lightwave range. A four-pole tunnel tent, it is breathtakingly enormous when you consider it barely weighs 4 kg: it sleeps three people comfortably, four at a squeeze. You can cook in the vestibule in all conditions. An extremely durable tent, the t3 arctic is ideal for base camp use in the wildest parts of the world, in mountainous regions and above the snowline (the red flysheet version comes with snowflaps as standard). We classify the t3 arctic as a five-season tent.
