Silicone Flysheet
These flysheets provide water repellency with their silicone water-resistant finish as well as a polyurethane coating. Silicone flysheets are more resistant to UV breakdown, and are lighter and more compressible than traditional flysheets, for easier packing.
Fusion Pitch
Fusion Pitch combines traditional continuous pole sleeve construction with clip construction for easy set-up and improved ventilation. This hybrid design utilizes the time-test strength and dependability of continuous pole sleeves in the main structural poles, providing support where it`s needed the most. Additional poles easily clip on for added support and allow fresh air to circulate more freely between the canopy and the fly. Featured in various models in TNF`s 3-season, Ultralight and Base Camp tents, Fusion Pitch makes set-up easy without sacrificing strength.
Fly-Only Pitching
There are times when it`s important to move light and fast. Utilizing thoughtful design, tents can become even lighter. By reducing the load to the lightweight tent fly, poles, and the optional footprint (sold separately), a tent becomes a convenient fly-only shelter. Easy to set up, the fly-only shelter offers ideal protection in milder weather and reduces critical weight.
DAC Featherlite Aluminum Poles
DAC Featherlite poles are up to 15% lighter than aluminum poles of comparable strength. Additionally, Featherlite poles are less susceptible to failure because pole linkages are based on extrusion instead of glued-in inserts. Without the extra insert piece, there is less chance of breakage.
