Selling Exped Polaris Mountaineering Tent - $500

[icebella]

I'm selling a used Exped Polaris Mountaineering 2 person 4 season tent. This tent includes the tent, ground cloth, and stakes. The tent retails for $800 but I'm selling it for $500. The tent is in excellent condition.

 

The Exped Polaris Tent is a single wall tent with a vestibule for wet gear, room to cook, and space to sit out a storm! Super sturdy and freestanding. Strength and aerodynamics make Polaris the perfect expedition tent! It can hold two people comfortably, and is tall enough to sit up in.

 

Backcountry.com said about the Polaris, "Exped created the Polaris 2-Person 4-Season Tent to give alpine climbers and mountaineers every technical advantage when they venture into the high mountains. The Polaris Tent's 5lb 6oz weight easily makes the cut on large carry-over routes, and burly three-layer single-wall construction stands strong if you get pinned down in a brutal storm. Exped added an attached vestibule to provide out-of-the weather storage for your crampons, ice tools, and packs. This ultra-tough tent also comes with sliding pole tension pockets to help you set it up in seconds and get out of the weather."

 

Details

 

* Single wall fabric of highly breathable and ultra-waterproof VentAir 3 layer PTFE laminate specific for tents. Vestiblule of lightweight and tear resistant ripstop nylon with a silicone coating.

 

* Fully freestanding: Full length ridge pole supports the structure and forms the vestibule. Of course, such easy setup also means simple teardown! And, for situations in which it is hard to stake out guylines, the poles can be braced together from the inside using the guylines.

* New for 2011: Center pole now runs outside in a sleeve. Previous models placed the center pole inside the tent and secured it with velcro straps.

 

* Fast setup: just slide 4 color-coded poles into their sleeves and tension the pockets; secure and plant 2-4 stakes. That’s it!

 

* Covered vestibule for gear and cooking.

 

* Ventilation and views on all 4 sides through door, rear window, and two offset tunnel vents.

 

* Easy handling, day or night: zippers have color coded, reflective, and glow-in-the-dark pulls that operate easily with just one hand.

 

* Reinforced guyline loops attach directly to the pole sleeves. Triple guyline flaps on the sides connect to the floor loop.

 

* Guylines of ultralight and static Dyneema with a tear force of 300lbs/ 140kg

 

* Taffeta nylon floor with fully taped seams and a water column rating of 14+ PSI (10,000mm).

 

* Adjustable guylines made of super strong, lightweight and reflective Dyneema cord are premounted in a stormproof V-configuration.

The tent is in "like new" condition. It's only been used twice. Both times it performed superbly in cold, snowy, windy conditions at high altitude. I've moved and I don't have room for all of my climbing gear.
