Fortius 2p Trekking Pole Backpacking Tent

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.

Fortius 2p

I bought the Fortius 2p a couple weeks ago and love it. Getting ready to use it this weekend. It's easy to pitch and the quality is perfect. Love all my OV products.

This tent could literally save my life!

I am headed on a thru-hike of the Florida Trail today. I was testing gear for my trip in a thunderstorm here in Pensacola, FL. My old tent failed miserably. Everything got soaked, and the temperatures dropped down to 56 degrees (hey, that's cold in Florida). I invested in the Fortius 2P and retested all of my gear during a severe thunderstorm. The Fortius did AMAZING! I stayed warm and completely dry. It is also 1/2 the weight of my original tent, so extra bonus!

Loved it

Absolutely loved it. Super easy to set up and lots of room. Was just in the elk hills of Colorado and was hit with a severe thunderstorm first day using it and no leaks. Had condensation everyday but I think all single wall tents are like that.

Great T Pole Tent At A Reasonable Price

Ultralight, easy to set up. No it’s not dyneema but you could buy three of these for the cost of one made of wonder fabric and it serves well.

I have set this up for practice a few times already. Very easy set up. Looking forward to hitting the trails with it soon.
