About this product
Person Dome Backpacking Tent – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.
A light, fast-pitch dome tent for two or three people, built for rain, heat and repeated packing.
The CORE 40384 is the tent to reach for when you want to be standing before dark and dry before the rain reaches you. The poles slide into sleeves and finish in CORE Connect ball-and-socket feet, so they drop into place without threading or guesswork and the whole thing is up in about five minutes. Over the top goes a full-coverage H2O Block rainfly: 68D polyester treated to 1200 mm, factory taped, seams sealed, guylines already attached.
Inside, the 7 ft x 7 ft floor takes three sleeping mats side by side, or one full-size air bed with room left for packs. The ceiling is all mesh, so on a dry night you can leave the fly off and sleep under the stars. With the fly on, ground-level intake vents pull cool air in while warm air escapes through the mesh, which is the difference between a tolerable and an unbearable night on the coast. A gear loft with a lantern hook, wall pockets and an electrical port keep torches, phones and cables off the floor.
At 8 lbs (3.6 kg) packed into a 20 in bag, it carries comfortably on a one or two-night hike and disappears into a car boot for Mikumi, Saadani or a Ruaha weekend.
