FAQ

What is a liner?

A liner is a breathable piece of fabric that lines the inside of a shelter, creating a double wall in order to protect your gear from condensation. 

Is condensation an issue?

Air temperature, humidity, ventilation, site selection and other factors can all lead to condensation biuld up. If you find your tent wet in the morning, it is very unlikely that your tent leaked. Seek Outside products are made to the highest specifications using quality water proof materials, strong stitching techniques and seam sealing. Your tent is designed to keep the weather out.

Do you still make Dyneema tents?

We do but only in limited quantities for a limited time. Due to supply shortages we typically do 3-4 Dyneema sales every year. They are first come first serve. You can sign up for our newsletter or sms to be informed when those are available. 

 What are the door screens?

 Door screens are a layer of No See-um Mesh that is sewn into the zipper door portion of the shelter. They are there so that you can leave the main door open to allow air to flow through the tent but bugs cannot. They cannot be added after the tent is made.

What is better between the carbon fiber and aluminum pole?

Both options have about the same strength. The difference is that Carbon Fiber is much lighter, however if the center pole fails with high winds or heavy snow load, the carbon fiber will probably splinter whereas the aluminum will probably just bend. 

What is a nest?

A nest is a fully enclosed inner shelter that can be set up inside of the tent for full protection. The sides are made from bug mesh and the floor is a waterproof silnylon. Door screens can protect against flying insects but a nest will protect against snakes and ticks as well as keeps you off of wet ground.  

What should I use as a floor?

We usually recommend putting a sheet of House wrap underneath your sleeping pad. Most of our shelters also have an option for a removable floor
