I have the S to S Ikos TR2 - it's basically the same tent, slightly heavier, definitely cheaper but all the same features. Brilliant tent, so versatile, rainproof, solid. Love the design. My go to tent.

I’m a fan of Sea to Summit. There is always a certain cleverness about their products, something stylish and enjoyable, something - indeed - nobody thought of. You could call them the Belgium Hikers among the outdoor brands 😊.

If they keep at it, maybe one day they'll be as successful as we are 😉

I can see hang out mode used more than camping, kids soccer games like a sportbrella, or a nice beach shade. Could give the tent more use

@BelgianHikers 11 ай бұрын

Absolutely. It's best for situations where you have ample time to set up though. I'm sure there are quicker solutions.

@spectralhorizon8618 11 ай бұрын

Hangout mode would be absolutely amazing for fishing on slow rivers

@BelgianHikers 11 ай бұрын

True! Probably not the cheapest or quickest solution, but a nice bonus if you need a tent anyway.

Yeah, a good storm test would have been ideal. My wind tunnel was in repair unfortunately 😄

Good tent. X-Mid however has more space and is $200+ cheaper

@BelgianHikers 11 ай бұрын

I'm super interested in the X-mids and hope to be able to test them in the future. But they're pretty hard to get a hold of here in Europe, and if you factor in import duties, they not quite that cheap (though still a great option!).

@mirjamdekker3418 9 ай бұрын

X-mid will cost me (in the Netherlands) 735 euro including the poles.... Their website says 330 USDollar. So yeah, you are right import duties are rather high. @@BelgianHikers

Yeah 'groundbreaking' design, another tent that pitches inner first.

@BelgianHikers 11 ай бұрын

Since the Telos has a 'fly only'-mode, you can actually pitch that first and do the inner last. It takes longer though, so don't bother in light rain.

@stevemitchell9176 10 ай бұрын

@@BelgianHikers I don't think it takes any longer to pitch fly first. Easy and quick enough whichever pitch option you choose.

@stevemitchell9176 10 ай бұрын

@@BelgianHikers It would probably be easier to describe it as frame first pitching - every option follows from that.

@Chris66able 11 ай бұрын

Yeah after carefully considering this tents attributes & design, I would say this tent falls in to a category we we used to have years back, we used to call tents like this ' SHITE '.

Well that’s not sugarcoating it 😅 What does it lack and what would you recommend instead?

Literally zero reason to ever buy this tent over the Nemo Dragonfly 2P/3P. Those tents are better in every conceivable way

@BelgianHikers 11 ай бұрын

Haven't tested that one, but they certainly cater to the same crowd. Pretty similar in many ways. What do you like best about the Dragonfly?

How you can come up with a tent like this after 2 years of development is beyond belief...The R&D team should be sacked!

Terrible tent... Leaks through the vents and suffers from condensation! They need to go back to the drawing board for the next version...

@@BelgianHikers clearly rain!! What other weather would it be? The outer comes too close to the inner, causing condensation to drip down...I live in the UK. My friend bought this tent and hates it! Waste of money
