Why We Like The Telos TR3 Plus Tent
The Telos TR3 Plus Tent makes camping through the shoulder seasons more manageable when we’re backpacking until the very first snowfall. This tent boasts all of the waterproof and set-up friendly features we’ve come to expect from Sea To Summit, plus it can be set up in six different configurations. Our favorite is the Hangout Mode, which converts the tent into a semi-open setup for laidback vibes at the group site.

Two person set up is
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two person set up is easy and quick. 1 person a little trickier, but I got the tent for 2 person camping anyways. One night was 17 and it stayed warm enough to keep the water unfrozen. We had condensation that night. Next night we opened all 3 vents and had no condensation, a little colder but our water was slushy, not frozen solid. Overall I’m very pleased. They did send me the wrong sized foot print, but that’s not really a quality issue. Overall I like it.

Strong, but small and hard to set up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] its a great tent but it just barely fits too standard sleeping pads inside. Also compared to other two man tents it can take a while to set up.

Spacious, warm and great ventilation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the packing system; it is easy to share with someone or only bring the necessary. The tent has Excellent Ventilation and is lightweight. So far, it seems great quality, but I haven't been through a giant storm yet. It's spacious for a two-person tent and very warm.

Telos Plus Tent Review: Lightweight with a Flaw
I had the opportunity to use the Telos Plus Freestanding Ultralight Tent over President's Weekend in Colorado at an elevation of 12,000 feet with plenty of snow. It even snowed about 3 inches during the trip. On the positive side, the tent's lightweight design impressed me, as did the innovative multiple-stuff sacks, making it highly portable and organized. Its ease of setup was notable, and it successfully kept me dry inside with almost no condensation, a commendable feat under the snowy conditions. However, my experience wasn't without its drawbacks. Disappointingly, during my first use, I discovered a hole in the tent's floor. Given that I was on snow, I don't believe I caused the cut. This issue likely points to the material's extreme thinness, which, while understandable in the pursuit of minimizing weight, should not come at the expense of basic durability, such as maintaining an intact tent floor. Having lived in Colorado and Utah my entire life, engaging in activities like hunting and mountaineering across all seasons, this is the first time I've encountered a tent floor cutting open. This incident marks a significant concern regarding the material's durability and the tent's overall reliability in rugged conditions.

Excellent tent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to substitute my 25 years old TNF VE-25, and already owning a Telos TR1 and knowing the quality of the product, I made the decision to purchase m y new family tent. While in Patagonia the TR1 stood still in very high winds. With the TR3 I only had the chance to go through a storm where it poured 150mm of rain in one night. Not a single drop of water entered inside the tent. Awesome product, very well though and designed.

Fantastic tent
Extremely well made tent. Very easy to set up, several innovative features (light bar, stuff sacks are extra storage, gear loft is a must). The Plus is much beefier than the regular and is far better suited for slightly colder/winder environments. Even though the tub is extra durable, the footprint is also a must.

Good for tall hiker's
Most tent in the market too short for me. Tr3 is enough for me and my sleeping bag is not contact with tent. But i hate fairshare system. Bags too small for comfort place wet tent and poles. And i want additional mesh tent but its not sold separately(

29 Days from Colorado to Mississippi
I brought the Telos Tr2 Plus along with me for the past month on an unsupported bicycle tour from Colorado to Mississippi. I slept in the tent 24 of the 29 days I was on the road. This was my first time using it so I had my reservations taking an unknown tent with me but as a fan of Sea to Summit and the gear they make, I had the utmost faith. I had nights that ranged from 17F up to 65F, I always felt that the tent stayed as warm as could be expected. I really liked having the fabric walls on the inner tent in place of the mesh. It offered a bit more privacy on those nights when the tent fly was not needed. I was a bit nervous that the small vents at the top of the tent would not be sufficient but they seemed to do the trick. The only times I had issue with condensation was through Louisiana, I'm not sure there is a tent in the world that can handle that level of condensation. I highly recommend the gear loft as well, it gets your clothes for the next day up off the ground and gives them a chance to breath a little bit better. Inside the tent, spacious! I had enough room to spread out and get comfortable all while storing all of my panniers inside the tent. I found myself not using the lightbar feature however I can certainly see how useful this could be, especially if you are staying in one place for more than 1 night. It is a bit difficult to pull the tent tight for the tension ridge but once you do it a few times you get used to it and appreciate the fact that the tent doesn't flap around at all. I used the smaller ground tarp with the tent as I find myself setting it up without a rainfly as much as I can, if you pack the tent as tight as you can the inner tent and the ground fly can be packed together, eliminating the need for te seperate ground tarp bag. All in all the only issues that I encountered was the color (the tent is not as discretely colored as I would like), and the tent stakes seemed to bend rather easily. I'm still quite impressed with this tent. From cold weather to hot and humid weather, it preformed wonderfully. It is light, durable, and well designed. It provides ample protection from the elements and I am so looking forward to taking it out into the backcountry this winter to test it even more! The Telos TR2 Plus will be my go to tent from now on, another S2S product knocking it out of the park!
