ALPS Mountaineering Meramac 5 Tent
ALPS Mountaineering Meramac 5 Tent, The Meramac series tents are all free standing 2-pole designs with shock corded fiberglass with aluminum ferrules. The ferrules are the "connectors" that hold the poles together and we use aluminum, rather than steel, because aluminum can never rust. Our fiberglass poles are also normally one size larger than normal to offer you a sturdier, stronger tent. We use lightweight but strong polyester fabrics. The side walls are uncoated so the tent can "breathe" under the urethane coated fly. The fly uses a pole in the top, which gives you an awning over each door for excellent rain protection. Our fly is full length on the sides, not 3/4 length like some others, for better weather protection. We even have our factory seal the seams on the floor and fly for maximum water repellency. Entry and exit are enhanced with 2 doors, which means if you have to get out at night, you don't need to crawl over the others to get to the only door. The second door is also nice for extra ventilation in hot, muggy weather. Our door zippers are a #8, which is one size larger than most, for extra durability. Mesh storage pockets and a gear loft are included to help you keep your gear organized.FEATURESFree-standing two-pole design with shock corded fiberglass poles75D 185T polyester fly with 1500mm coating resists UV damage and stays tautFactory-sealed fly and floor seams provide best weather protection75D 185T poly taffeta floor with 1500mm coatingExtra large #8 zippers on both doors for extra durabilityEasy entry with two doors and "single-zip operation"Great ventilation with two zippered windows (in the doors) and large side mesh panelsWeatherproof fly with a ridge pole provides an awning over each doorMesh storage pockets, gear loft, 8" steel stakes, and guy ropes includedFloor saver available (sold separately)SPECSBase size: 8' x 10'Center height: 72"Tent area: 80 ft^2Total weight: 14 lbs. 4 oz.Packed size: 8" x 25"Pole diameter: 11 mm
