When we pitched this tent at ThinkGeek HQ, it was an awe-inspiring moment. It is just so darn beautiful. Luckily, while it is full of stars (at least the flysheet is!), entering the tent will not transport you to a faraway star system, unless that's what you usually dream about while sleeping. At the moment, Stephonee (Inventory Monkey & SpaceTweep Extraordinaire) has claimed it as her new office space. We only see her when she has to come in to use the bathroom.
Hold on to your SeV hoodie, because we're going to tell you all about this limited-edition beauty:
Limited Edition Artwork
With the limited edition, digitally printed, designer flysheet (only 195 in the world with the "Spacious" design!) and you'll be hard-pressed to find a twin to your tent wherever your camping adventures may take you.
Heavy-duty Construction
The base tent is a high-performance A-frame storm tent, based on the hardiest expedition tents on the market today. Extreme weather is no problem.
Flysheet
The flysheet is 100% polyester, flex & tear tested, highly UV fade resistant, and waterproof to a minimum of 3m hydrostatic head. It is treated with Ultra-Fresh to prevent buildup of nasties like fungus and bacteria and coated with teflon for ultimate strength.
The flysheet also provides you with a "front porch" to your tent, where you can store items that you don't want in your sleeping space. Pin back one or both sides of the front porch area to let more light into your inner tent.
Zippers
Zippers are from YKK, the world's leading manufacturer of zippers. The flysheet features a YKK zip with large inner and outer toggle protected by a Velcro zip cover.
Pegging Points
Pegging points are strong elastic and adjustable for security and stability. They're designed to prevent roof dipping and groundsheet rucking and include storm guy lines for extra protection in bad weather.
Pegs
FieldCandy pegs are hardened aluminum, extra strong and nigh-impossible to bend. A handy little hole is drilled in there for your custom peg puller. Spare pegs and a hammer for knocking pegs into the ground are included.
Poles
High quality, high strength, lightweight, precision-engineered aluminum alloy poles are quick and easy to set up. With a little wiggle they slot together all by themselves!
Inner Tent
Modern tents are made of plastic and hold moisture inside, resulting in a miserable muggy atmosphere. FieldCandy's inner tent is 100% natural cotton that breathes, making the air inside much drier and more comfortable.
FieldCandy inner tents are sewn with cotton and the flysheets with treated polyester, both through flat felled seams, which are then seam sealed for maximum performance.
Sleeping Space
Bigger than your average 2-person tent, FieldCandy's inner tent has a light grey interior, a mesh window for ventilation & light, and a place to hang your lantern. You won't DIAF either, because the inner tent is fire retardant to EU and US standard CPAI-84. (But always be sure to keep all fire far away from your tent.)
