The Aries is a free standing pole system. It has a top cross pole which allows for more head room and interior space. With the mostly mesh wall design it allows for great ventilation for warm summer nights. This free standing tent is enhanced with 2 doors for easy entry and 2 vestibules for gear storage. Extra-large #8 zippers make opening and closing the doors and vestibules a breeze. The Aries has 7000 series aluminum poles that are strong and lightweight. Assembly is really easy with the tent clips that just snap in place over the poles. The poles are all shock corded together as one continuous system. With a factory sealed fly and floor seams, you’re sure to stay dry in rainy weather. The polyester fly and floor are urethane coated, factory sealed seams for maximum weatherproofness. The fly buckles to the tent, offering a much more secure attachment when compared to elastic cord. All these combined features, make the Aries a great choice for any backpacking trip

Iâm pretty sure my husband doesnât plan on thru hiking the A.T. â so we donât need to…
92 days in the tent from Itasca, Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico! I used this tent on a kayak trip on the Mississippi River from the source in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. I have another 3 man ALPS Mountaineering Tent that doesn’t have enough screen in it for hot weather. It performed great in the Everglades last winter. The no-see-ums definitely couldn’t get through the screen. It was great on the Mississippi. If you want the gear holder thing to stay in place on the ceiling, put rubber bands on the plastic hooks to keep them attached and then you don’t…
Great tent for the price! UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: The tent survived RAGBRAI (week long bike ride across Iowa) and kept us nice and dry in very light rain. A few weeks later, we took the tent on the Pedaler’s Jamboree and got hit with very heavy rainfall overnight and all morning.. Thunder and lightning.. The kind of rain you seek shelter for (and we did once daylight broke). We came back after 3-4 hours and there wasn’t a drop of water in our tent. The tent vestibules were out, I used the ALPS footprint this time, and it…
