REI Half Dome 2 Tent

• Backpacker 2010 Editors' Choice Gold Award winner: “‘Half Dome remains the epitome of functional, affordable design,’ remarked the same testers who used it 8 years ago”
• The Half Dome tent brings together the successful design philosophy that made the original Half Dome so popular and adds insightful technological updates
• 2 side doors and 2 vestibules offer easy access and personalized storage for each occupant; 2 vents ensure the tent stays well ventilated
• Frame design combines multidiameter Combi poles and unique dual-hub architecture to create nearly vertical side and end walls; the result is spacious area-wide headroom
• Rectangular floor plan optimizes usable space and allows comfortable sleeping shoulder-to-shoulder or head-to-toe
• DAC Featherlite® NSL poles and engineered plastic hubs combine to offer a high-performance pole set that is strong, durable and lightweight
• Color-coded poles and pole clips ensure an easy setup
• Exclusive Tension Truss architecture leverages bound seams to provide low-weight structural stability and to increase interior volume
• Fully adjustable ceiling vents mitigate condensation by drawing cool air under the fly and exhausting warm, moist air
• Hybrid floor combines sealed seams and bathtub curves to create a waterproof, taut floor; tautness enhances door-zipper operation and maximizes volume at end walls
• Multiple storage options include corner pockets, roof pockets and hang loops
• Location and shape of tent door zippers allow smooth, 1-handed operation; use the door pockets to hold doors out of the way or for storage
• Vestibule? zipper opening aligns with tent door for no-hassle operation, entry and exit
• UV-resistant polyester rainfly will not stretch or expand when wet, ensuring a consistently taut pitch
• No-wick welded construction ensures that moisture won't sneak through susceptible areas, such as guy-out points, pole wraps and zippers
• Mood-elevating colors create a pleasant interior even when the weather outside is uninviting
• Save weight and create a lightweight setup by using just the rainfly, poles and footprint (sold separately)
• Comes with guylines and tighteners, stakes, pole repair tube, pole and stake bags, and tapered, easy-to-fill compression stuff sack
