The STRATOS LITE III is a roomy, ultra-lightweight tent designed for trekking and bikepacking that sleeps three people. It is made predominantly from recycled materials.

The lightweight, interconnected DAC aluminium poles make the tent really easy to pitch and ensure good wind stability. Very few pegs are required to anchor the tent – a real advantage when you’re pitching it on hard ground. The breathable inner tent and the flysheet are also connected and clip onto the external pole framework.

The flysheet fabric is coated with silicone on both sides. This reduces the weight significantly and increases the tear resistance and UV resistance of the fabric.

Since conventional seam tape does not adhere well to silicon coated (tent) fabrics, we have instead used a special yarn that expands when damp to seal the seams. However, we would also recommend applying an appropriate silicone sealant (available online) to the relevant seams.
