4 Season Expedition Tent for 2
The JET STREAM 2 tent was developed to endure the toughest conditions. It is a technical spacious tent for 2. The structure was designed to maximize the distribution of the wind force by increasing the number of crossings .The reduction of the surface area between poles diminishes the wind effect on the tent walls. Its structure shape allows both occupants to sit anywhere with comfort without having to lean front. The walls and floor were designed to give extra space for the arms, thus reducing the claustrophobia effect inside the tent. The front, back and side colours are lighter to allow the sunlight to enter the tent in during the morning and evening. The top cross is darker to create shadows inside the tent during the heat hours. In hard soil, if the pegs cannot be used, it’s possible to use rocks, snow our ice blocks on the soil straps to keep the tent fixed to the ground. The colored poles make the assembly easier and faster. The side net absides maintain ventilation and are resistant to abrasion. The 2 side ventilators improve safety and comfort and can be used in bad weather conditions.
Use it where everything else should fail.

Net Absides
The Jet Stream 2 net absides maintain ventilation keeping the tent dry. The net is strong enough to have rocks or blocks of ice and snow on top of it.
Pole Crossings
The number of pole crossings is one of most important characteristics in a tent structure. The Jet Stream 2 has 2 types of poles with 4 and 6 crossings each, with a total of 14 crossings.
Colored Poles and Straps
Assembly is easier with colored poles and pole beds.
The pole straps can be used to pitch the tent without pegs using rocks, ice or snow bolcks.
Light and Shadow
The grey ‘X’ on the fly fabric creates shadowed areas inside. When the sun is down and the temperature is colder, the sun can heat-up the tent form the sides, front or back. When the sun is up you can protect yourself in the shaded areas inside the tent.
Balanced Structure
The Jet Stream 2 tent has a very well balanced structure. Because it is impossible to predict wind changes, there are always 4 poles in every direction sustaining the wind force and snow loads. The space between poles has also evened to reduce the wind effect in the fly, always keeping it away from the tent wall.
The tent allows you to sit anywhere with comfort. Its innovative inner shape improves habitability, and reduces considerably the claustrophobia effect by giving you ‘extra’ space for your arms. The front vestibule is just the right size. It is big enough to protect you while removing the wet clothes before entering the tent, and allows you to open the fly door while sitting inside without having to crawl outside. The back vestibule, is great to store your gear and rucksack.
