Guying the tab on the top of the tent is important. But I have learned to guy it better and that takes care of the flapping noise in all but the strongest winds. The tent can be a little noisy in stronger winds. I was worried about the rain fly keeping me dry. My comments are below:ġ - I have been hailed on, hard rained on and the weather gods have tried to blow me off the mountain. I have used the Portal 2 many times with my last trip being a 7 night backpack through the Enchantments (Core) in Washington a few weeks ago. I have been using the Portal 2 for over 2 years now.

Includes 10 DAC J-Stakes and 6 additional external guylines (not including 2 pre-installed internal guylines).

2-Side silicone impregnated flysheet and PE floor fabric are mildew-resistant and have excellent hydrolytic stability, and will last significantly longer than traditional PU-coated fabrics.

Can be pitched with footprint (not included) and fly for a minimalist weather shelter.

Matching reflective tabs on fly and tent body simplify setup.

External guy points are matched to toggles to attach the fly directly to the poles, increasing stability.

10 external guy points and 2 perimeter pull-outs provide ample reinforcement.

Offset vestibule design eases entry and exit.

All the pockets you could ever want (two ceiling, two head, two side, one foot).Pole swivel connects long poles for easy setup.High-volume pole structure with a swivel provides well-distributed headroom without the weakness of hubs.Opposing struts on the vestibule doors provide unrestricted cross-tent airflow for excellent condensation management without sacrificing weather protection. Our new KickStand vents make ventilation a breeze.Click here to learn how internal guylines work.

Please note this is just an estimate and actual rates may vary. Canadian customers can estimate duty here. Note that UPS brokerage fees and import tax & duty are separate. To avoid brokerage fees, select either USPS shipping or UPS Worldwide Express/Expedited service. We recommend against 'UPS STANDARD' shipping because they charge very high brokerage fees. We strongly suggest looking up duty rates in your region before ordering, especially if you live in Canada. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: Customer is responsible for all import duties and taxes. However, the three seams directly beneath the tent poles should be seam sealed for maximum waterproofness in extended, heavy rains. Seam Sealing Note: The seams on your Portal's flysheet are highly water-resistant and will handle light rain just fine without being seam sealed. The Portal is now available in a muted green/brown colorway without reflective trim for those who like to keep a lower profile. Additional stakes and guylines can be purchased here. For ultralight weather protection in non-buggy conditions, check out the Portal Tub Floor.

To prolong the life of your Portal's floor, pick up a Portal footprint. This replaces the stock 8.7mm poles with extra wide 10.65mm poles to provide additional wind and snow loading resistance. Want even more strength out of your Portal? Pick up our Heavy Duty Portal pole set. Instructions are found in the bottom video below. The Portal can be set up fly-first to keep the inner tent dry in rainy conditions.

This means using premium fabrics with good UV and mildew resistance, eliminating PU coatings that break down over time, and adding extra zipper sliders to double the zippers' lifespan. We designed the Portal with an eye for long-term durability.

By incorporating several technologies from our Expedition Series tents, we were able to give the Portal a degree of stability and weather resistance previously reserved for dedicated 'four-season', or more accurately, 'one season' tents. If there's a stronger sub three-pound tent out there, we have yet to find it. It's our statement piece saying you don't need to sacrifice strength, features, or durability to make an ultralight freestanding tent. The Portal is our lightest freestanding tent at 2lbs 14oz.
