It's been really exciting to watch you guys grow since the debut of the first product line to now. I love the design thinking that went into these tents. Another addition to my gear list.

I just purchased my Fortius 2P for a thru-hike of the Florida Trail. I was most concerned with weather (thunderstorms/wind), so after seeing the features of this tent, it was a must-have. It also is 1/2 the weight of my old tent. My back already thanks you and your team Tayson!

I've been saving up for this tent for quite a while with my OV membership... but the problem is I keep finding other OV products to buy! One day I'll have this beauty to review. Such a great informational video. Much love from Maine.

Totally agree Floki! My initial savings for the Shadowlight BP turned into a Fortius tent purchase. I'll just have to get the Shadowlight before my AT hike next year.

Tried setting the 1p without watching first and did okay, but the video really did help. Made my own ground sheet and packed it back in the stuff sack with plenty of room. So light, I love it. Now to put it to the test this weekend.

Woo Hoo! Loved this walk through! ⛺ Fortius on the horizon for this Hike-Thru couple. We just returned yesterday from a 17 day trip in Oregon with far-too- heavy a gear load. My SHADOWLIGHT 45L BP hadn't returned to me yet (sadly) from being restored from a frame malfunction. So I had to take a heavy "other brand" BP . Pain from weight insued. My house sitter said my S.L. pack arrived just hours after we left. Next 2 legs of the O.C.T. in Sept.22AD will be U.L. freedom with your highly functioning/enjoyable gear! Thanks Tayson & crew!!!

One of the things that I love about these tents are the Ridgeline inside of it to hang stuff. I've been a hammock camper for years now. So the Ridgeline helps to lay flat in a hammock but I use it to hang anything I need to hang up. Like a peak shelf and a Ridgeline organizer so you'll have a place to put your water bottle, snacks, cell phone etc. Another thing I like is you can put a tie out points anywhere you might need it. Never owned a high-end tent before. But If I was going to buy one it would be this one. From what I can tell this is a well thought out design. Great job on the tent y'all

Awesome to see you guys coming out with single-later trekking pole tents! Really love the arctic color. Curious, besides having more tie off points, where these tents stand out when compared with the Lanshan 1/2 pro and Gossamer Gear The one/two tents.

​@@canoehead2606 My thought too, however that isn't always a bad thing. There are issues about "The One" that I'm not a fan of, that this tent appears to do better with. I'm sure when designing this tent they looked at similar tents on the market and found a better solution that works for them. It would be interesting to hear what those points were.

Great looking tent, I have been excited to see what the R&D tent that has been in the videos would turn into. Does the 1p fit the same pad as the 2p? It didn’t say and you didn’t show it in the video

The 1p will fit 1 of the longwide pads easily. The 2p can handle 2 of those pads.

Just to be sure….there is no way to access the backside “vestibule” on the Fortius 1p?

Correct. The back side is meant more for ventilation than for use as a "vestibule." The front vestibule is more than large enough to cover 1 person's gear.

Do these come with a footprint? If not, do you offer a ultralight footprint separately on the website. If you have suggestions for DIY ultralight footprints that works too!

Have you checked out the Outdoor Gear review channel on the Luke's review? There was some sagging in the material. Buy the way, do you guys export products to South Africa?
@outdoorvitals
@outdoorvitals Жыл бұрын
We chose Nylon due to it's extra strength over polyester. To reach our target weight and performance goals we chose this vs. a 20D or heavier polyester with similar strength. In our own field testing by simply setting up your tent and then re-tensioning it 20-30 minutes later, sagging hasn't been an issue. We recommend using the head and foot guy out points for added livable space, which also helps with any kind of sagging.

Yes they are 25 inches when inflated. The tent is 48" in the end corners of the tent, but there is quite a bit of room & space to fit in the 25 inch pads stillin the middle of the tent!
