AWARD-WINNING TENT
BAKU 2 3 Season 2 Person The two-door hybrid tents are light, east to pitch, and according to our expert can take a good pounding from an Appalachian rain. Experts say: "The tent withstood a night in freezing rain, keeping me completely dry and warm. There were puddles underneath the tent in the morning, but all stayed dry within."

The Asp tent has won the 2007 "Best of Adventure Gear" award from National Geographic Adventure magazine.

The tent weighs only 4 pounds and is designed with the award-winning Reverse Combi Technology. The Asp has 34 sq. ft. of livable space as well as two doors and excellent venting capabilities. This is a great ultralight shelter for backcountry, beach and river trips as the Quick Pitch Swivel Hub locks the pole sections in place and makes for an extremely easy set-up. Read more.

Reverse Combi 3 Season 2 Person There are a few reasons why Outside gave the Reverse Combi its "Gear of the Year" award in 2005. Most notably, the variable-diameter configuration on the DAC Featherlite NSL poles means greater interior living space, without added weight or a sacrifice in strength.
