Why We Like The Telos TR2 Tent
We pack along the Telos TR2 Tent to keep the comfort and stoke high while backpacking with our adventure comrade. The Tension Ridge system increases head and shoulder room, giving us more space for rest and relaxation. We stop condensation from forming and keep from suffocating in our own stench by opening the peak and floor vents, letting fresh mountain air flow through.

Telos TR2 - Two Person Freestanding Tent
This is another SeaToSummit outstanding product! I went from camping in heavy Kodiak Canvas to a tiny Telos TR2 - Two Person Freestanding Tent. This tent is incredibly light weight and suitable for air travel. It conveniently packs up into 3 small stuff sacs that are provided. Freestanding is great, especially when you're trying to set up on a wood platform. Most of my camping is during the summertime months or in warm climates. I brought this with me down to the USVI and the screens gave me plenty of airflow. I had zero issues with moisture. Personally, I do miss the optional zip up and down windows. I think that option would afford an individual a bit more privacy and night time warmth. As of yet, I haven't personally tent camped during a heatwave.

Excellent tent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took it out beach camping. The online instructions are very much needed bc the paper manuals are useless for construction of the tent. Not very intuitive and I've built a lot of tents. Ventilation was good, and very spacious. I think I could set it up now in like 5-10min. One big factor is trying to figure out the tents orientation. All the extra vertical space of the tent makes it strange trying to find the center.

Great shelter at minimum weight and bulk
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent replaces a well-worn SD Clip Flashlight. The Telos is about the same weight, a bit less bulk but considerably roomier on the inside both floorspace and headroom-wise. Important consideration is that the Telos is free standing whereas the CF absolutely had to be staked out. Not a big deal on a forest floor or meadow but much of our useage is streamside, sand and gravel bars. As usual, Sea to Summit's design and engineering is thoughtful and innovative, down to simple things like color coding parts and the modular stuff sack. These guys make crazy good stuff!

Excellent tent
This tent worked perfectly. I took it on a week long canoe trip in Maine last week. Had a mix of weather conditions. Two nights dropped to freezing with a heavy frost. One night had heavy rain. The fly cinched down very nicely and nothing got wet. Tent is super light and packed nicely into one of my dry bags. Once set up it was very sturdy in the wind and rain. Im 6 ft tall and liked the wide area for head room and I didn’t have issues getting in and out. I would definitely recommend buying the ground tarp which actually attaches to the tent frame itself so there was no slippage and nothing hung out with the rain. I also got the gear loft which was nice for me because I always seem to loose things while sleeping. Overall I would definitely recommend.

The tent has lots of
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tent has lots of thoughtful features that improve the experience compared to other tents, particularly the light bar and the gear bags that double as stuff sacks. Only been used once so I can't comment on long term usage, but so far I'm very happy with the purchase. The guy lines are also incredibly easy to use, although I'm curious how long they will last. What keeps it from five stars is the stakes aren't as durable as I would've liked (wife bent one the first time using), and the hangout mode setup is not practical for a single person in anything but dead still wind, a slight breeze makes this thing difficult.

Fantastic Tent
Easy set-up and breakdown, quality material, very roomy for 2 people. Invest in the footprint and the $20 gear loft - which should be included honestly. This tent right there with the BA Copper Spur 2.

Really clever tent, just hard to pack up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] TL;DR - Really roomy and comfortable, lots of clever features and tons of storage space. Tent and fly bags are too small and make packing the tent up difficult. I was very excited for this tent. The amount of clever features was intriguing to me. As advertised there is headroom to spare inside the tent, and it makes a huge difference compared to other tents. Much more comfortable when changing, or just hanging out inside. The addition of using the tent bags as storage sacks inside the tent is great. S2S even provided mesh pockets already so the tent bags are just extra bonus storage space. If you bought the gear loft then it's a game changer as well. The only con I really have about this tent is the size of the bags for the tent and fly. They're just too small, which makes rolling up and packing the tent away a fairly annoying process. It feels like there's no room to spare so if you don't roll it up just perfectly tight enough then it's going to be a struggle, or impossible, to get back in the bag. And if you manage to just barely get the tent and fly in then the sleeves for the poles are likely to be too tightly stretched to get the poles in. All in all I'd recommend it but practice rolling up and packing the tent away before going out to camp.

Poles not as Sturdy
One of the better three season tent until the poles gave up. Was replaced and experienced the same issue.

Excellent Tent!
I can’t wait to get out on the Trail. This tent was easy to setup, great quality, and you can’t beat the head room. Truly happy I purchased this tent.

LOVE THIS TENT!
Just wanted to say we love this tent. I was somewhat worried on spending this much money as I have not ever spent this much on a tent but well worth it! We were out on the trail for 7 nights. First 3 nights was hot and humid no condensation! This is the first time I have never had that in a tent. The design is great set up easy. I would recommend this tent to anyone and I will! Plenty of room for 2 and all our stuff!
