Why We Like The Telos TR3 Tent
From its spacious interior to its shareable storage system, the Telos TR3 Tent is ideally made for groups of three. This innovative tent redefines backcountry comfort by increasing headspace, simplifying setup, and creating a hangout space that everyone can share. When paired with our trekking poles or Sea To Summit's Hangout Mode Pole Set (sold separately), the versatile rainfly can be propped up to create a shelter that's roomy enough for the whole party.
When the pack is camping out, this tent truly gets to shine. Sea To Summit designed the Fair-Share Storage system to split the load between hikers. Two separate stuff sacks and the pole bag neatly stack together for the strongest member of the group, or the pieces can be shared to lighten everyone's load. These individual sacks have their own versatile functions too—the pole bag doubles as a Lightbar to add ambiance to the tent, and the tent's and fly's individual stuff sacks increase internal storage by acting as buckets.

Honestly not satisfied at all, will be making a warranty claim
I ordered this tent for a backpacking trip with my partner as I was intrigued by the design and the 5 star ratings. I have used many tents in the past and this by far has let me down the most after just two nights. I still have a month to stay in it before I get back to Canada which is very unfortunate. Cheers

Telos 2P Tent - flexible, tall, lightweight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sold on the flexibility and roominess of this tent in a lightweight package. This is my 6th tent and by far my favorite. Set up is easy and it performs well in cold, wet, or clear skies. Looking forward to more backpacking and camping adventures in this tent!

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!

great tent!!
This is a very nice tent. Very lightweight, but seems very durable. It's a great size for two people (I suppose that technically three people can fit, but that seems a stretch). I really like how tall it is and the big doors and vestibules on each side is very handy. We haven't used the tent in any kind of rain yet.

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.

The nicest feature of the
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The nicest feature of the Telos TR-3 is large door on each side, with vestibule for shoes and packs. plenty of room for two, would not attempt to use for three. Taking the wet tent down in rain, rowing in the rain all day, setting it up again in the rain, even then I was able to stay mostly dry. I learned it's important to keep the fly taut and the ground tarp tucked in a bit, as when taking the tent down I found a pool of water between the tent floor and the tarp, but even then the tent floor kept my gear dry. The lightweight gray anodized stakes provided aren't sufficient for use in sand, so I brought along about 5 pounds of antique steel stakes, and added my own reflective red guy lines to keep the tent stable in the wind. While I like the neutral gray color of the tent, it would be better to have some brighter colors for the stakes, guy lines, tie-down points, and stuff sacks.

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.
