Why We Like The Telos TR3 Tent

From its spacious interior to its shareable storage system, the Telos TR3 Tent is ideally made for groups of three. This innovative tent redefines backcountry comfort by increasing headspace, simplifying setup, and creating a hangout space that everyone can share. When paired with our trekking poles or Sea To Summit's Hangout Mode Pole Set (sold separately), the versatile rainfly can be propped up to create a shelter that's roomy enough for the whole party.


When the pack is camping out, this tent truly gets to shine. Sea To Summit designed the Fair-Share Storage system to split the load between hikers. Two separate stuff sacks and the pole bag neatly stack together for the strongest member of the group, or the pieces can be shared to lighten everyone's load. These individual sacks have their own versatile functions too—the pole bag doubles as a Lightbar to add ambiance to the tent, and the tent's and fly's individual stuff sacks increase internal storage by acting as buckets.

Telos TR2 - Two Person Freestanding Tent

This is another SeaToSummit outstanding product! I went from camping in heavy Kodiak Canvas to a tiny Telos TR2 - Two Person Freestanding Tent. This tent is incredibly light weight and suitable for air travel. It conveniently packs up into 3 small stuff sacs that are provided. Freestanding is great, especially when you're trying to set up on a wood platform. Most of my camping is during the summertime months or in warm climates. I brought this with me down to the USVI and the screens gave me plenty of airflow. I had zero issues with moisture. Personally, I do miss the optional zip up and down windows. I think that option would afford an individual a bit more privacy and night time warmth. As of yet, I haven't personally tent camped during a heatwave.

Excellent tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took it out beach camping. The online instructions are very much needed bc the paper manuals are useless for construction of the tent. Not very intuitive and I've built a lot of tents. Ventilation was good, and very spacious. I think I could set it up now in like 5-10min. One big factor is trying to figure out the tents orientation. All the extra vertical space of the tent makes it strange trying to find the center.

Great shelter at minimum weight and bulk

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent replaces a well-worn SD Clip Flashlight. The Telos is about the same weight, a bit less bulk but considerably roomier on the inside both floorspace and headroom-wise. Important consideration is that the Telos is free standing whereas the CF absolutely had to be staked out. Not a big deal on a forest floor or meadow but much of our useage is streamside, sand and gravel bars. As usual, Sea to Summit's design and engineering is thoughtful and innovative, down to simple things like color coding parts and the modular stuff sack. These guys make crazy good stuff!

great tent!!

This is a very nice tent. Very lightweight, but seems very durable. It's a great size for two people (I suppose that technically three people can fit, but that seems a stretch). I really like how tall it is and the big doors and vestibules on each side is very handy. We haven't used the tent in any kind of rain yet.

Excellent tent

This tent worked perfectly. I took it on a week long canoe trip in Maine last week. Had a mix of weather conditions. Two nights dropped to freezing with a heavy frost. One night had heavy rain. The fly cinched down very nicely and nothing got wet. Tent is super light and packed nicely into one of my dry bags. Once set up it was very sturdy in the wind and rain. Im 6 ft tall and liked the wide area for head room and I didn’t have issues getting in and out. I would definitely recommend buying the ground tarp which actually attaches to the tent frame itself so there was no slippage and nothing hung out with the rain. I also got the gear loft which was nice for me because I always seem to loose things while sleeping. Overall I would definitely recommend.

The tent has lots of

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tent has lots of thoughtful features that improve the experience compared to other tents, particularly the light bar and the gear bags that double as stuff sacks. Only been used once so I can't comment on long term usage, but so far I'm very happy with the purchase. The guy lines are also incredibly easy to use, although I'm curious how long they will last. What keeps it from five stars is the stakes aren't as durable as I would've liked (wife bent one the first time using), and the hangout mode setup is not practical for a single person in anything but dead still wind, a slight breeze makes this thing difficult.

The nicest feature of the

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The nicest feature of the Telos TR-3 is large door on each side, with vestibule for shoes and packs. plenty of room for two, would not attempt to use for three. Taking the wet tent down in rain, rowing in the rain all day, setting it up again in the rain, even then I was able to stay mostly dry. I learned it's important to keep the fly taut and the ground tarp tucked in a bit, as when taking the tent down I found a pool of water between the tent floor and the tarp, but even then the tent floor kept my gear dry. The lightweight gray anodized stakes provided aren't sufficient for use in sand, so I brought along about 5 pounds of antique steel stakes, and added my own reflective red guy lines to keep the tent stable in the wind. While I like the neutral gray color of the tent, it would be better to have some brighter colors for the stakes, guy lines, tie-down points, and stuff sacks.

Fantastic Tent

Easy set-up and breakdown, quality material, very roomy for 2 people. Invest in the footprint and the $20 gear loft - which should be included honestly. This tent right there with the BA Copper Spur 2.

Nearly my perfect tent

3 Person

There are a lot of great features to this tent, truly innovative. It's very light, about what my old one person tent was (though I carried more stakes than this came with). The tension ridge design is excellent, truly giving peak head room all the way across the tent. The dry setup is handy, the pockets great. On the iffy side is the packaging, which makes it easy to divide the tent in two for sharing the load backpacking. There is zero room for anything extra, like a footprint which is recommended, and is not totally solid when carried as one piece. Strapping it to the outside of your pack might be sketchy. The negative was that in very heavy rain it leaked through the roof vent, right at a seam, and dripped much of the night. It stays dry in light rain, and would for a brief heavy rain, and the roof vent does wonders for eliminating condensation, but in a long heavy rain we were wet. It also seemed very narrow for a 3 person tent, with two 30" pads just barely squeezing in on the wide side. There may be some way to solve the leak, like orienting the tent so the vent is downhill, but it's at the head end so that's tough. A great tent if you don't plan to use it in heavy all night rain.

Really clever tent, just hard to pack up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] TL;DR - Really roomy and comfortable, lots of clever features and tons of storage space. Tent and fly bags are too small and make packing the tent up difficult. I was very excited for this tent. The amount of clever features was intriguing to me. As advertised there is headroom to spare inside the tent, and it makes a huge difference compared to other tents. Much more comfortable when changing, or just hanging out inside. The addition of using the tent bags as storage sacks inside the tent is great. S2S even provided mesh pockets already so the tent bags are just extra bonus storage space. If you bought the gear loft then it's a game changer as well. The only con I really have about this tent is the size of the bags for the tent and fly. They're just too small, which makes rolling up and packing the tent away a fairly annoying process. It feels like there's no room to spare so if you don't roll it up just perfectly tight enough then it's going to be a struggle, or impossible, to get back in the bag. And if you manage to just barely get the tent and fly in then the sleeves for the poles are likely to be too tightly stretched to get the poles in. All in all I'd recommend it but practice rolling up and packing the tent away before going out to camp.
