Lofting the tent itself in your hand provides little resistance. Everything is swaddled in its own Dyneema Composite stuff sack. Pulling the Samaya 2.5 from its box (which is hexagonal, by the way - très chic), my immediate feeling was that this is a tent that doesn’t mess around. Even its hexagonal design defies nasty weather through every season.Ĭheck Price at Samaya Samaya 2.5 Tent Review First Impressions It’s highly waterproof where it needs to be, and the electro-spun Nanovent membrane breathes so moisture and CO2 are expelled. For those who want to go farther, the Samaya 2.5 makes a compelling argument to bring less. Having failed to do so, the tent proved there’s still room to push the envelope when it comes to the “light is right” ethos. In short: This spring, I took the Samaya 2.5 tent into the backcountry and glaciers of the North Cascades, aiming to, well, break it. And, it’s much roomier and lighter than most other tents in the same category. With electro-spun breathable membrane with Dyneema accents, it is absolutely on the bleeding edge of tent technology. This tent trims the fat in ways we’ve never seen before, elevating the idea of a four-season shelter to produce something we feel comfortable calling a hyper-tent. And the Samaya 2.5 feels like what an alpinist’s dream tent might look like in person. One of the biggest ways to cleave off a few pounds is in your shelter. They’re putting up hard routes in more truncated timeframes, which requires a careful survey of every ounce that’s coming on route. What used to be done in a week is now done in a day, and alpinists today are doing more with less. We’ve come a long way since the days of Goldline rope and pile-fleece sweaters.
