The perfect tent peg.<br />

Light and sturdy.<br />

The shelter of a tent is most wel<strong>com</strong>e during the Purga, a cold stormy wind that blows in from the ocean.

FEATURES<br />

d<br />

c ><br />

Attention paid to every detail...<br />

a > Fast setup and ease of use:<br />

- Slide poles into colour coded and angled<br />

sleeves.<br />

- Secure the pole ends in the adjustable<br />

tension pockets.<br />

- Set tent pegs and guylines depending<br />

on the weather conditions.<br />

Continuous pole sleeves allow poles to<br />

glide effortlessly through intersections.<br />

Canopies <strong>com</strong>e factory mounted.<br />

< g<br />

e<br />

><br />

><br />

f<br />

b > Adjustable floor loops of Dyneema<br />

cord for easy placement of tent<br />

pegs. They put a 8“ / 20 cm radius at<br />

your disposal in which to find the ideal<br />

spot to sink the peg.<br />

c > Open anchor loops, inverted for<br />

easy guyline attachment.<br />

d > Strong and weatherproof: bombproof<br />

shelters created by <strong>com</strong>bining<br />

wind shedding designs with strategi-<br />

< a<br />

< b<br />

cally placed dual guy points on each<br />

sleeve. Guylines anchor directly to pole<br />

structures for superior stability in any<br />

weather. Guylines are of ultralight and<br />

static Dyneema with a tear force of 300<br />

lbs/140 kg. This prevents the guylines<br />

from stretching or dislodging pegs in<br />

high winds, which otherwise leads to<br />

flapping of the fly and structure and ultimately<br />

fracture of the poles.


e > Enhanced aerodynamics with Flat<br />

or Interior Pole Sleeve designs.<br />

f > Excellent ventilation: even in rainy<br />

conditions, condensation is kept to a<br />

minimum by large opposed vents. This<br />

design promotes a chimney effect to<br />

maintain air circulation.<br />

> No-See-Um panels on the<br />

canopy‘s doors adjust from inside the<br />

tent to control ventilation. Careful attention<br />

to design ensures there is no contact<br />

between fly and canopy.<br />

g > Loads of space: unique <strong>Exped</strong> designs<br />

maximize usable interior space<br />

with steep side walls and large, protected<br />

vestibules. Vestibules provide ample<br />

space for storage and cooking (If cooking<br />

inside the vestibule, always prime<br />

and light stoves at a safe distance from<br />

the tent). Models with dual vestibules<br />

and entrances offer easy access. Doors<br />

are large enough for two people to sit<br />

next to one another.<br />

> Fully waterproof shelters with factory<br />

taped seams, polyester core/cotton<br />

wrap thread, and taped or seamless<br />

bathtub floors.<br />

> Canopies can be unhooked to<br />

increase vestibule space. Loops and<br />

pockets keep the tent tidy.<br />

> Natural, pleasing colors: warm<br />

yellow interiors are pleasant and relaxing,<br />

even when stormy weather<br />

keeps you inside the tent.<br />

Earthy, green color rainflies blend with<br />

nature; or bright terracotta color rainflies<br />

are easily spotted in bad weather<br />

or from a distance.<br />

> Integrity: Keep it simple and<br />

reduce weight - care is taken to use<br />

simple, proven designs and hardware.<br />

Examples include toggle and loop<br />

connectors for fly and canopy, adjustable<br />

pole tension pockets made of<br />

webbing and pole repair sections. Of<br />

course, field repairability goes without<br />

saying!<br />

> Multi-functional and versatile:<br />

The rainfly can be used alone for storage<br />

space or as basic shelter, best in<br />

<strong>com</strong>bination with a tent footprint. The<br />

canopy can be setup on its own as bug<br />

shelter in clear weather. Unhook part of<br />

the canopy to increase the space under<br />

the fly. Numerous zipper sliders allow<br />

doors to be opened in different positions.<br />

designs enable <strong>Exped</strong> tents to be easily<br />

moved to a new location or to be<br />

cleaned by shaking overhead. Developed<br />

by <strong>Exped</strong>, the “ridge tunnel tent“<br />

is a new type of structure that <strong>com</strong>bines<br />

a Tunnel design‘s maximum usable<br />

space with the Dome‘s freestanding<br />

capability.<br />

> Easy maintenance:<br />

Tent poles‘ end caps remove easily<br />

to adjust the shock cord in changing<br />

weather conditions or to replace a broken<br />

pole section.<br />

Pole tension pockets are made with<br />

strong, but simple materials (webbing<br />

and a small pole segment). In the event<br />

of a failure, such materials can be repaired<br />

anywhere in the world unlike proprietary<br />

plastic parts that can break at<br />

the worst times and are hard to replace.<br />

All <strong>Exped</strong> tents include spare parts:<br />

zipper sliders, adhesive patch fabric,<br />

and emergency pole repair segments.<br />

> Easy packing:<br />

The pole segments are short enough to<br />

allow the packed tent to fit square into<br />

most large backpacks and uniform<br />

length pole segments (except the end<br />

sections) mean that taking along just<br />

one segment can address most any repair<br />

situation; side entry packsacks surround<br />

the rolled tent without effort or<br />

strain.<br />

> Accessory bag: Poles, tent pegs<br />

and spares pack into three separate<br />

<strong>com</strong>partments of the accessory bag.<br />

This ensures that pole and spares stay<br />

clean and away from the muddy pegs.<br />

The accessory bag can be used as<br />

<strong>com</strong>pression roller when folding the<br />

bundle into the packsack.<br />

> Freestanding and spacious:<br />

Most models are either freestanding or<br />

require just a few stakes to ensure that<br />

the tent is not carried off by wind. Such<br />

Quality materials:<br />

In the non-Extreme series tents the<br />

rainfly fabric is strong, lightweight ripstop<br />

polyester: UV-resistant and meets<br />

CPAI-84 flame retardant guidelines. Extra<br />

strong PU coatings on the fabric‘s<br />

underside offer long wearing waterproofness.<br />

In the Extreme series the fly fabric is<br />

a durable, lightweight, silicone coated<br />

ripstop nylon with improved UV- and<br />

tear-resistance. However, silicone coated<br />

fabrics do not meet CPAI-84 fire retardant<br />

guidelines. (See tent models for<br />

specifics).<br />

Single wall tents are made of fully waterproof,<br />

but highly vapor permeable<br />

VentAir fabric.<br />

All Floors are made of durable taffeta<br />

nylon with heavy PU coatings; have a<br />

waterproof rating of 14+ PSI (10,000+<br />

mm water column) and are either factory<br />

seam taped or seamless to maxmize<br />

strength.<br />

Mosquito netting is of ultra fine, very<br />

UV-resistant No-See-Um polyester that<br />

keeps out the tiniest of bugs.<br />

16<br />

E x p e d s t a n d s f o r q u a l i t y.<br />

Rainflies with external pole sleeves are<br />

easier to setup because poles encounter<br />

less resistance. Internal pole sleeves<br />

increase stability and offer less wind<br />

resitance.<br />

The perfect solution is found in the<br />

Flat Pole Sleeves developed by <strong>Exped</strong><br />

that <strong>com</strong>bine the advantages of both<br />

sleeve designs.<br />

Poles of state-of-the-art TH72M extruded,<br />

seamless aircraft aluminum by<br />

DAC. These are rigid but pliable enough<br />

to yield in strong winds. DAC poles<br />

snap back to position without breaking<br />

and then damaging the fly. DAC poles<br />

are less likely to burr if they snap together<br />

during setup which can cause<br />

the segments to fit improperly and lead<br />

to breakage.<br />

Reliable YKK zippers in the fly and<br />

canopy are sewn smooth side out to<br />

reduce exposure to dirt, which could<br />

cause premature wear.<br />

The zipper pulls are reflective, colour<br />

coded and glow in the dark. They<br />

are long enough for easy handling even<br />

when wearing gloves.<br />

Lighweight and sturdy aircraft aluminium<br />

stakes are provided in two grades<br />

for both hard packed and soft ground<br />

condition.<br />

Ample guylines include adjustable tensioners,<br />

especially developed by <strong>Exped</strong>,<br />

that secure around most fixed objects<br />

without <strong>com</strong>plicated knots. Key lines<br />

are factory pre mounted and provided<br />

with <strong>Exped</strong>‘s own Cord Stuffsacks (also<br />

available separately).<br />

Guylines, developed by <strong>Exped</strong>, are of<br />

ultralight and static Dyneema with a<br />

tear force of 300 lbs/140 kg. This prevents<br />

the guylines from stretching or<br />

dislodging pegs in high winds, which<br />

otherwise leads to flapping of the fly<br />

and structure and ultimately fracture of<br />

the poles. The guylines have a Dyneema<br />

core and polyester sheath. Dyneema<br />

is 15x stronger than steel and 40%<br />

stronger than Kevlar of the <strong>com</strong>parable<br />

weight. A reflective thread has been<br />

spun into the sheath for visibility in the<br />

dark. Sheaths and cores can be separated<br />

to increase usable length.<br />

Quality workmanship:<br />

Lap-felled seams (4 inter-wrapped<br />

fabric layers) are single or double factory<br />

taped. Stress points are reinforced<br />

with extra-duty patches and are sewn<br />

with crossover stitching to better distribute<br />

forces over larger areas of fabric.<br />

All stress points are bartacked.<br />

Thread used throughout is ‘polyester<br />

core, cotton wrap’ that expands when<br />

wet to seal stitch holes.<br />

> Warranty and service: <strong>Exped</strong> tents<br />

carry a 5 year, limited warranty on defects<br />

in workmanship and materials. At<br />

its discretion, <strong>Exped</strong> will repair or replace<br />

any part that fails due to manufacturing<br />

defect. Failures due to normal<br />

wear, negligence, accidents and<br />

acts of nature can usually be repaired<br />

for a nominal charge. Please see your<br />

outdoor retailer for details or contact<br />

<strong>Exped</strong>.<br />

> And why not even lighter? Light<br />

can mean less durable. The increasing<br />

UV radiation requires a minimum in<br />

fabric weight and strength to prevent<br />

premature degradation of the product<br />

when exposed to the sun.

VELA I<br />

Enter... the Zipfree door.<br />

> Versatility: all <strong>Exped</strong><br />

tents allow the <strong>com</strong>ponents<br />

(canopy and rainfly)<br />

to be used separately.<br />

As an example you<br />

can <strong>com</strong>bine Vela I‘s fly<br />

with an <strong>Exped</strong> DownMat<br />

and a WB sleeping bag<br />

when going light. Use the<br />

canopy alone or covered<br />

with an <strong>Exped</strong> Tarp.<br />

> Zipfree door: The ingenious<br />

system seen<br />

from the inside: Open the<br />

quick release buckle and<br />

pull on the cord to raise<br />

the door like an awning.<br />

No zipper that snags or<br />

admits water and no additional<br />

weight.<br />

a > Large vestibule, easily accessed from inside Vela I, is large enough<br />

for all your gear. The door is easily raised to offer a view<br />

but still protects from the elements.<br />

b > Large floor plan is especially long and wide, making it possible to<br />

bring gear inside or to help out a stranded, second person.<br />

c > Ventilation is maximized in this storm proof design. The rainfly<br />

can be rolled up from either end, and both ends of the canopy<br />

have mesh windows. A hood protected vent enhances the chimney<br />

effect for venting. The foot end is aerodynamically shaped<br />

and can be <strong>com</strong>pletely tied down to face high winds. The head<br />

end features a mesh window.<br />

d > Ingenious flat pole sleeve improves aerodynamics in wind and<br />

rain. Double seams and stitching offer extreme strength.<br />

e > Setup requires just 2 stakes. Additional tie down loops make<br />

Vela I absolutely storm proof!<br />

> Condensation is kept<br />

to a minimum with<br />

opposed doors, windows<br />

incredible airflow through<br />

direct venting and a<br />

chimney draft effect.<br />

a > Quick and easy to pitch thanks to color coded poles that glide<br />

into matched, continuous sleeves and easy to use adjustable<br />

tension pockets. The flat pole sleeves reduce wind resistance<br />

and the double seams increase durability.<br />

b > Storm proof: Very few stakes are needed for setup. Numerous<br />

pre-mounted Dyneema guylines are attached and packed in<br />

“Cord Stuffsacks“. Guyline loops attached to the pole sleeve<br />

keep Venus II taut and secure, even in the roughest weather.<br />

c > Easy handling day or night, zippers have color coded, reflective<br />

and glow-in-the-dark pulls that can be easily operated<br />

with one hand.<br />

d > Seamless bathtub floor design assures waterproof performance.<br />

The fabric water column is rated at 14+ PSI (10,000 mm).<br />

e > Functional layout: Two large vestibules and entrances offer<br />

storage spaces that are accessed easily, even from within a<br />

sleeping bag. Doors are large enough to allow two adults to sit<br />

side by side.

> Award winning from<br />

the start:<br />

Vega had just seen the<br />

light of day when it was<br />

awarded the „Editor‘s<br />

Choice“ by the German<br />

Outdoor Magazine.<br />

Quote: „The <strong>Exped</strong><br />

Vega beats all records for<br />

space to weight ratio.“<br />

< c<br />

VEGA<br />

e ><br />

><br />

Loads of space at a very low weight.<br />

d<br />

> Loads of interior<br />

space and easy access:<br />

Despite its low<br />

weight the Vega offers<br />

the luxury of ample interior<br />

space and easy<br />

entry through two high<br />

doors. The lost space in<br />

the corners <strong>com</strong>mon to<br />

A-Frame tents has been<br />

eliminated by four integrated<br />

and foldable corner<br />

supports.<br />

< a<br />

> Superb venting: Vents<br />

above the doors can be<br />

left open during rain promoting<br />

the chimney effect.<br />

Both vestibules<br />

can be <strong>com</strong>pletely rolled<br />

open. The VentAir fabric<br />

also plays a vital role<br />

in the ventilation of the<br />

tent.<br />

b<br />

><br />

a > Built-in corner poles make pitching the tent quick and easy. Peg<br />

down the corners, set the ridge support poles, pitch the vestibules<br />

and your done. Instead of the ridge support poles, trekking<br />

poles, paddles, sticks etc. can be used to prop up the tent.<br />

b > Adjustable guylines made of super strong, lightweight and reflective<br />

Dyneema cord are pre-mounted in a storm proof V-configuration.<br />

c > Large vestibules on either side hold all your gear and can be<br />

easily accessed from within Vega.<br />

d > The high vestibule doors allow easy entry without the need to<br />

crawl. The two doors are easily opened with just one hand. One<br />

entrance is large enough for two people to sit next to one another,<br />

while the second is smaller to reduce weight.<br />

e > Vega’s wedge shape; sloping tent walls for minimal wind resistance,<br />

and ample guyline loops (with super strong Dyneema<br />

cords) make this tent extremely storm proof.<br />

f > Single wall fabric of highly breathable and ultra-waterproof<br />

VentAir 3 layer PTFE laminate specific for tents. Vestibule of<br />

lightweight and tear resistant silicone coated ripstop nylon.

The section of the tub<br />

footprint near the side<br />

entrance can be rolled<br />

back. This prevents rain<br />

from accumulating on<br />

the footprint when the<br />

entrance is open. This<br />

space is ideal to place<br />

gear like muddy boots.<br />

a > Huge vestibule - large enough to hide a bicycle!<br />

Two people can sit <strong>com</strong>fortably in the dry vestibule<br />

in the event of bad weather.<br />

b > Three pockets on either side of the canopy keep personal<br />

items organized. A large mesh organizer found<br />

on the vestibule wall also keeps all kinds of personal<br />

items within easy reach.<br />

c > For ventilation and views, both front and rear walls<br />

can be rolled up. Vents can be opened <strong>com</strong>pletely<br />

from within and are backed with mosquito netting<br />

to ward off insects. Vents help to reduce condensation<br />

during rain and simple supports of pole<br />

repair tube keep the vents open at all times.<br />

d > Storm proof: Very few stakes are needed for setup.<br />

Numerous pre-mounted Dyneema guylines are attached<br />

and packed in “Cord Stuffsacks“. Guyline<br />

loops attached to the pole sleeve keep Andromeda<br />

II taut and secure, even in the roughest weather.<br />

e > A drain above the side entrance prevents rain<br />

from dripping into the vestibule when the door is<br />

opened.<br />

Arc Tarp is a protective cover in rain or provides shade under the sun. Extends a tent<br />

vestibule or stands alone when used with both arches.<br />

> Lots of space at a<br />

low weight: With little<br />

effort, Arc Tarp attaches<br />

quickly to most tents and<br />

creates added covered<br />

space. Ideally suited for<br />

use with <strong>Exped</strong> Sirius,<br />

ARC TARP<br />

Think of it as a huge veranda for your tent.<br />

> Fast setup: Insert one<br />

or both poles, secure the<br />

cord web to the tent with<br />

the mini-carabiners and<br />

secure the front guylines.<br />

> Flat pole sleeves<br />

reduce wind resistance<br />

and double stitched,<br />

parallel seams offer extra<br />

strength.<br />

><br />

c<br />

><br />

Numerous applications:<br />

> Width and height can be varied by<br />

adjusting the radius of the arches.<br />

> With both poles inserted, Arc Tarp<br />

can be set up alone to create a<br />

large sheltered area.<br />

> As a standing height rainfly over a<br />

mesh tent, e.g. Southern Cross or<br />

any <strong>Exped</strong> tent canopy.<br />

> As covered kitchen tent or dining<br />

area.<br />

b<br />

a > An adjustable cord running through loops at the<br />

rear of the tarp with numerous mini-carabiners<br />

attaches easily and tightly to any ‚mother tent‘.<br />

b > Reinforced guyline loops are set directly onto the<br />

pole sleeves for extra stability. Inner and outer<br />

guyline loops make Arc Tarp extremely versatile.<br />

c > Cord Stuffsacks eliminate the chaos of tangled<br />

lines. Guylines of ultralight and static Dyneema<br />

with a tear force of 300 lbs / 140 kg.<br />

> Besides being a tent extension or tarp with poles,<br />

> Arc Tarp is the ideal family camping solution: in-<br />

Arc Tarp functions well as a lightweight traditional<br />

tarp, when without the poles.<br />

stead of purchasing a large family tent, connect 2<br />

smaller tents with 1 or even 2 Arc Tarps create a<br />

large and versatile shelter.

protect the tent floor from abraison, dirt, and<br />

humidity. Shaped like, but 10 cm (4“) smaller<br />

than, the tent floor to prevent rain from collecting<br />

between footprint and tent floor. As they also cover<br />

the vestibule floor space, the vestibule stays dry<br />

and clean. Attaches with adjustable, elastic cords.<br />

> Lightweight Gear Loft. Attaches to the canopy roof<br />

with adjustable elastic straps found in the corners<br />

and the center, which prevent it from sagging under<br />

weight. Ideal for storing your glasses or drying gear. A<br />

loop in the middle is ideal for hanging a flashlight.<br />

Fits the following tent groups:<br />

> The battle with tangled guylines is finally over. An<br />

ingenious stuff sack made for tent guylines enables<br />

quick packing and leaves them ready for use the next<br />

time without hassle! Insert your fingers in the sack,<br />

wrap the line around and turn inside out. An extra flap<br />

keeps everything from unraveling. Leave it to Swiss<br />

for ingenuity and efficiency!<br />

> Guylines developed by <strong>Exped</strong> are both ultralight<br />

and static, with a tear force of 300 lbs/140 kg. This<br />

prevents the cord from stretching and tearing in high<br />

winds, which otherwise leads to flapping of the fly<br />

and structure and ultimately to fracture of the poles.<br />

Combine footprint and rainfly to travel extra light!<br />

> A footprint doubles as a tarp against rain, wind and<br />

sun (against excessive exposure to UV radiation).<br />

> Orion<br />

> Venus II and III<br />

> Sirius II<br />

> Andromeda, Andromeda II<br />

> Venus III<br />

> Pegasus<br />

Great little helper:<br />

> minimal weight, UV-resistant mosquito mesh allows<br />

> dual non slip loops attach Stuffsack to the guyline;<br />

> bright yellow is highly visible and serves as a anti<br />

stumble warning flag;<br />

> standard accessory with all <strong>Exped</strong> tents.<br />

Phenomenal specifications:<br />

> The guylines have a Dyneema core and polyester<br />

sheath. Dyneema is 15x stronger than steel and<br />

40% stronger than Kevlar of the same weight.<br />

> Extremely UV resistant.<br />

> A reflective thread has been spun into the sheath<br />

for visibility in the dark.
