Sirius
+ Sirius Extreme: Fast! Light! Sturdy!
> Sirius Extreme was barely a reality by the time it had received 2 major awards:
Backpacker (USA) bestowed its coveted “Editors‘ Choice 2003“ (first time ever
to a non-US tent company); and Outdoor Magazin (Germany) where it garnered
highest ranking in its in depth, tunnel tent test!
“The air is definitely
thinner in the ranks for
top of the line tents,
but Exped, the ingenious
team from Switzerland,
proves with its Sirius
Extreme that other
brands must take them
seriously!“
Outdoor Magazin, January 2003

“... the first tent we’ve
seen that lets us rave
about its low weight
without including
qualifying comments
about its tiny living space
or high price. At less than
6 pounds, it belongs in
the bantam weight class

person shelters - but it’s
so spacious it feels like a

> Flat pole sleeve
reduces resistance to
wind, snow and driving
rain.
a > Fast and easy setup: Exped’s innovative flat sleeves are accessed
from outside the fly and end with adjustable tension pole
pockets. And with the canopy already attached, setup goes
quickly: slide poles into the sleeves; seat ends into the pockets;
tension. With just 4 stakes to set, sleep is not far off!
b > Storm proof: Flat pole sleeve technology makes Sirius more
aerodynamic and strengthens the pole sleeve seams. For bad
weather conditions, ample loops and pre-mounted guy lines are
included (stored in Cord Stuffsacks). Double guy line loops grip
the pole sleeves to keep the fly from flapping in bad weather.
c > Large, adjustable door: tucks away into a side pocket; opens
to a variety of positions for ventilation; or, use poles and guy
lines for covered protection. A side wing can also be used as an
entrance.
d > Venting and viewing: windows open completely from inside
Sirius and are reinforced with mosquito netting to block the
bugs. Windows help to reduce condensation in rain, and simple
supports of pole repair tube keep the vents open at all times.
e > Easy handling all the time: zippers have color coded, reflective,
glow-in-the-dark pulls and are easily operated with one hand.
f > Multi-Use: Canopy is easily unhooked and pushed back for some
extra floor space, or it separates easily for use as a lightweight,
bug shelter. Rainfly offers basic shelter when reduced weight
is needed. And of course used complete... the award winning
design of the Sirius Extreme!
