The Ascent 1 is a 1+ person tent that is built to handle rugged 3-season weather conditions. It is one of the first tents in Australia with a tent fly featuring Stealth Seam Welding Technology. Stealth Seam Welding Technology This cutting-edge technique combines ultrasonic edge-joining with high frequency radio welding of tape seals, making the seam up to 42% stronger than a standard twin needle taped seam. The weld will provide water tightness for the life of the tent fly, unlike a taped seam, which generally does not. Until now this technology has only been available on heavy fabrics. Easy to set-up Like all Domex tents, the hub frame design means that the tent is quick and easy for one person to set up and being free-standing gives flexibility to erect the tent in all types of terrain, with the option of moving site before pegging the tent down. Inner tent The lower portion of the inner tent uses breathable double Ripstop Nylon panels for durability and the upper section has fine mesh panels for increased ventilation while keeping insects out. Other features The Ascent 1 is packed with features including a Ripstop Nylon tent floor, air vents for increased airflow and less condensation, generous vestibule space, three storage pockets plus a lantern hook. Why is it a good idea to use a Footprint? We recommend using the footprint that matches this tent (an optional accessory) to protect your tent floor. It will also make packing up easier and quicker. Any mud and debris will be confined to the footprint, meaning a quick wipe down of the condensation on the bottom of the tent floor is all that is required before rolling the tent up.
