help Gossamer Gear The Two FAQ

How much does the Gossamer Gear The Two tent weigh?

The Gossamer Gear The Two delivers exceptional ultralight value, weighing approximately 24.5 ounces for a two-person trekking-pole shelter. This extremely low weight makes it highly desirable for thru-hikers on long-distance trails.

Do I need trekking poles to set up the Gossamer Gear The Two?

Yes, this is a trekking-pole shelter, meaning it requires the use of your standard hiking poles to create the main structure of the tent. You cannot pitch it properly without them, which helps hikers save weight by not carrying redundant tent poles.

Is Gossamer Gear The Two made of Dyneema?

No, it is made from silpoly (silicone-impregnated polyester) rather than expensive Dyneema (DCF). This allows the tent to offer respectable weather protection at a fraction of the cost of premium ultralight alternatives.

How does the Gossamer Gear The Two handle heavy rain?

Because it is a silpoly shelter, it offers respectable weather protection and stretches less than silnylon when wet. However, as a trekking-pole tent with an optional floor, its weather resistance heavily depends on a proper pitch and careful site selection.
