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 />

VENUS II<br />
Delightfully lightweight and versatile.<br />
> Setup options: In<br />
clear weather, setup the<br />
canopy on its own as a<br />
lightweight, stargazing<br />
shelter. Slide the poles<br />
through the elastic<br />
loops and set the pole<br />
ends into the supplied<br />
webbing pockets.<br />

setup the rainfly with or<br />
without a Footprint...<br />
large enough for bicyble<br />
repairs or as a shelter<br />
during lunch break.<br />
b<br />

> Condensation is kept<br />
to a minimum with<br />
opposed doors, windows<br />
and vents that offer<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.

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 />
Aries, Orion, Venus II,<br />
Andromeda, Andromeda<br />

Cross and Venus III.<br />
Works both as a rain and<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.

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 />

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.
