Fortius: the name is reminiscent of "refuge" & "stronghold." The Fortius Trekking Pole Tent is your ultimate refuge in the wild for intense adventures. Designed to surpass the limitations of traditional trekking pole tents, the Fortius is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions, from violent winds to pouring rain and lightning storms. Here's why it's the perfect companion for your rugged backcountry excursions:
- Storm-Worthy Design: Unlike other ultralight trekking pole tents, the Fortius is truly storm-worthy. With multiple "storm points" and extra-long detachable stake lines, you have the flexibility to reinforce your shelter against the elements and pitch it in any direction, providing unparalleled protection in extreme environments.
- Durable Nylon Construction: Crafted from durable nylon, the Fortius offers superior strength over a similar weight polyester. Our field testing has proven that minor sagging issues commonly associated with nylon can be easily resolved by retensioning the tent after initial setup, ensuring optimal performance throughout your adventure.
- Spacious and Comfortable: Enjoy ample livable space with large protective vestibules by both doors to keep your gear sheltered and secure. Sit up fully and rest comfortably without feeling claustrophobic, thanks to the Fortius' thoughtful design that prioritizes usable space and comfort.
- Versatile Performance: With a non-tapered bathtub floor, the Fortius can be pitched in any direction without worrying about which end you can lay your head in. The detachable storm points allow you to reinforce against wind & weather in any direction - giving you peace of mind & a better night's sleep.
Experience the full backcountry experience with the Fortius Trekking Pole Tent. With its lightweight design and durability, it's your stronghold against the elements, ensuring you stay sheltered and safe without having to sacrifice pack weight.

The Fortius 2P is off to a mixed start. Only one night in the tent so far. It was 83 degrees during the day and down to 53 at night. No rain forecasted so I kept both sides fully open on the tent to hopefully avoid condensation. No such luck... The conditions were just too conducive to condensation buildup. So that was worse than expected. The positive, the tent is super easy to setup, and I love the features. Very roomy with good head room. I think the tent will perform great during the summer, but when the temperature drops a lot from day to night, I think I will be bringing a double wall tent. Looking forward to more time in it to really test it.
Love the tent so far, there is definitely condensation on the inside the 2 times I have used it. Trying to figure out the best way to combat that. The good part is that it is so spacious, even tho there is condensation, I have not had it effect my head or sleeping bag (I am 6’2”). I LOVE how much room there is. Would definitely recommend! Just trying to figure out how to get less condensation.
The Fortius 2p tent was a gift to my son who has caught the backpacking bug. He absolutely loves this tent, says it is very easy to set up, roomy, lightweight and can’t think of anything he doesn’t like about it. Thanks for a great and reasonable product.
After taking my Fortius out of the packaging, I headed out to the yard for initial setup. From rolling it out until I was able to crawl in took eight minutes. First impressions was this is a palace. I moved up from an ultralight 1 person at no increase in weight. I look forward to getting out on the trail, especially during the 100 mile Challenge.
Bigger than I thought it would be. Lots of room. Can wait to use it this year.
